man, how do i count the ways? christians aren't trying to limit religious freedom. i'm seriously doubting any christian could care if a mosque or temple started marrying gays (should it ever become legal in the area in question)... they are concerned with what is done in churches, done under the same label as their own. this argument is, of course, concerned with the idea of acceptance within the church... and not the legal battle. two separate issues.
you've got to understand that saying that one thing is right and that another is wrong isn't limiting religious freedom. to say that all people should accept all things is infringing upon their religious freedom as well.
how can you be pro-constitution when you demand that people should automatically accept the whims of society and be as liberal as their left-fringe wants to take them?
