It doesn't stop with gay marriage. Here in America we have prostitution laws that screw over innocent people every day and drug laws responsible for imprisoning millions of people guilty of nothing more than altering their perception of reality. We have a ban on stem cell research that could be well on it's way to curing horrible conditions like brain degeneration and para/qudraplegia. And we have reams of people operating under the assumption that world is comming to an end one day soon at which point they'll be instantly removed from the face of the Earth (needless to say... not many of these people are all that interested in planning for Earths long term sustainability).

So when all you Christians die and go to Heaven, what do you look like? I'm assuming that since God created man in his own image that you'll retain some sort of prairie ape characteristics. Do you exist for all eternity as an adult or as a kid or just whatever state you're in when you die?

Why did "God" tell all of us to cover up our naughty parts? Didn't he create our bodies? Shouldn't we be proud of his masterfull design... or did certain parts of our bodies become evil all of the sudden after Adam and Eve ate some fruit or something (right, don't you dare eat the fruit of knowledge if you want to remain perfect, ignorance is bliss)?

Jesus Christ!!! I could go on with questions like this ALL DAY!!!

Were there 2 Polynesians, Native Americans, Blacks, Caucasians, Arabs, Indians and Pygmies on the Arc with Noah?

I know some of these seem redundant but as of yet I've never gotten ONE of you Christians to come up with a resonable answer to ANY of them.

Why would God have some plan for all of his beloved children to "return" to him and then only make this plan well known and popular in a limited part of the world to a limited number of people (and a small minority I might add)?

Why would God want you to pray at all, doesn't he know everything you're thinking before you do?

What makes all of you take Abraham at his word? Do you know the history of Abraham and his travels? Do you even know how the Jewish tribal Gods system worked back in those days? Do you know that all Jews used to believe in multiple Gods and that Abraham went around trying to convince everyone that there was only one God, El, and eventually the idea caught on because the Jews were sick of having to change the Gods they worshiped every time they got relocated (and in those days the Jews got relocated quite a bit)?

How can anyone say that Abraham and the three religions he spawned are any less a product of social systems naturally creating a belief system then the religions of the Hindu, Shinto, Druids, Native Americans? You can't.

Lighten up everyone. There's no reason to believe in some ancient book filled with obviously fabricated stories. You don't need to live forever. You don't need to have some invisible jerk telling you what to do.

For those of you that were athiest at one time and swithced over to religion, I'm sorry something really painfull happened to you that made it hard for you to let go of someone, but do you really want to think that you're conscience will exist forever? Don't you realize that eventually you will be sick of everything including sitting around and playing a harp for the all powerful creator of the universe. What could you possibly want to do FOREVER?

Just a little critical thinking folks... that's all it takes.
