And defeat the purpose of a "free" country. Not to mention also destroying the country's morals, if any.

Here is an example of a certain kind of extremism. 

Ok, if you don't want to use extremist, how about Radical?  Like a Radical Muslim or a Radical Christian.  In this case the Radical Christians are a small group in the USA who want to control and govern others by blending their (often changing) beliefs with the USA's legal system.  They seem to be a hold over of some of the angry Puritans and the once that forced slavery on the USA.  Currently, they have been trying to get their for of religious creation taught as science in the USA.

This whole fake argument from the 'religious rite' about 'traditional marriage, is just a term they made up in a focus group.  Marriage has not been defined as a 'one man and one woman' until very recently - and that very much changes by culture.  Just like people didn't often get married for love until relatively recently.  If you want at the Christian Tradition then marriage is a way to treat a woman you raped, something that happens to you if you other brother dies, women are considered property - and in the Bible the have marriage between siblings, multiple wives, etc.

Do you really believe that " gay community has been clawing and scratching" ?  They just want the same civil rights afforded other couples.  And by the way, in places where two men can get married, have have half the divorce rate of a man-woman marriage over the same time.

The same ones that faught aginst inter-racial marriage and against the equal rights admendment.  Cause somehow they think it deminishes them if women get the right to vote, work and own peoperty.

I think they are tiny angry minority.   Which is good, cause they can bring about a great deal of shame to a country.

Well, the USA purposely ended the connection between government and religion on July 4, 1776.  It's a rather big important day in the state.

Since then, until relatively recently, it has strongly made clear that religion has no place in government.  Some religious people have tired to put it in - like on our money and our pledge to the flag.  But they have been well organized in their attempts to make the USA a theocracy.

In the USA one is free to practice or not practice religion, but it is one of its core values that religious has no roll or place in government.

I know. And I agree with the fact that religion and government should stay seperate to extents, but banning religion is not the same as keeping religion and government seperate.

Its not apropriate to label it radical either, it is far from it.  It is an opinion that has been around for a long time and has proven well to society.

Now as I stated I personally I think gay marriage can be a good thing for marriage, and frankly good for the gay community as well.  But, like any normal conservative I like to see results and I am cautious in my nature, something my liberal friends loathe but could certainly stand to learn from.

I don't even know why religion comes into it or even why some people take the Bibles words so literally.
It's a book written by man for another country for another time thousands of years ago for a people with a completely different set of morals, why some religious people thinks it applies today to today's society has me beat. - I don't see people stoning their children to death.

Considering that my own country is behind the curve in regards to same-sex marriage compared to the rest of the developed world actually frustrates me, heck our prime-ministers sister wanted to ban "Homosexual propaganda" and ban the teaching about the topic in schools. (Like burying your head in the sand will make it go away! It will also cost lives as young Homosexuals need some kind of support and recognition that it's perfectly natural.)
The sad part is, when our Prime Minister announced he supported Same-sex Marriage, all the Churches turned their backs on him, the religious lobby groups started speaking out about it and the circle continues.

To me religion is halting equality, creating hate and discrimination and has done no good in advancing my own countries freedoms and that needs to change!

Not everyone who is a self-described liberal is also someone who wishes to see absolutely every last foundation knocked out. In the United States alone there are plenty of people who wish to see gay marriage legal across the board but don't believe in banning guns or allowing immigrants to come and go as they please. This is a problem you will constantly run into. Blanket statements on people of all ideals. If you believe in gay marriage you must be a hardcore liberal and if you believe in the right to bear arms you're a hardcore conservative. It's ridiculous.

You made a point in a previous post to basically say that the liberal mindset is to change anything and everything even if for no reason. The counterpoint can be made of conservatives who wish to either keep things as they are or even revert them back regardless of if there is a reason or not. Women and minorities having virtually no rights in the United States was the conservative ideal for a long time. There was really no good reason for that. "It's just the way things have been" is quite often the only real excuse they can bring to the table on many topics. Typically, what has 'served us well' has really only served certain groups and any time that systemic preferential treatment is threatened the doomspeak comes out and we're all told it's the end of the world. It's pretty much the equivalent of an only child throwing a fit because now there is another child that gets attention. Slavery was a rampant concept that many found completely acceptable. It's thanks to the liberal minds of those times that slavery was ended.

When we're talking about ending things that hurt other people or ending barricades to fair treatment, there should be no hesitation. If you want to hesitate about something, hesitate (at the very, very least) if someone tries to make sex with an 8 year old legal or tries to say that Asians should be allowed to drive beyond the speed limit when everyone else has to obey it or tries to make it legal to kill someone's pet if they don't immediately return your lawnmower. I may be liberal on certain topics but you damn sure will see me pounding conservative drums if things like that are being pushed and I suspect that most people who are labeled as 'damn libtards' would agree with me.

Oh, yes, I agree.  I didn't mean that at all.  I think people should be free to practice religion anyway they want (well, within reason - no child sacrifices, etc.)

Religion should have no baring in civil law.
