Could you clarify this point? How does gay marriage mean either of these two things?

Up to this point I haven't been addressing gay marriage, simply the justification of homosexual acts by saying that a person is tempted.

If I were to read the rest of the paragarph into context, it sounds like you're trying to say that homosexual marriage justifies a sin and, thus, justifies all sins. Is this right?

Again, marriage hasn't entered into it yet. I am simply saying that the pattern of justification can be a slippery slope. Christians are saying that there needs to be a line drawn and claim that the line was drawn many years ago.

This simply sounds like you view homosexual marriage as insulting. It's not a physical attack, like a temple literally being destroyed, because homosexual people getting married doesn't prevent heterosexual people from getting married, so nothing's destroyed... So, I can only assume you mean a verbal attack, like an insult. Is this what you mean?

That is probably a fair assessment. |
Okay, now that we have this understanding, I think I can say that there is no insight in this post. As far as I can tell, and please correct me if you disagree, the three main points of your original post are:
Gay marriage will justify homosexuality.
Allowing gays to marry is a slippery slope to other unsavory unions.
Gay marriage is insulting.
Is this a fair assessment? Would you agree with this summary?
Or, perhaps the point of your post was to explain
why christians believe that these three points are true?
