First off, damn you The Knot! I wrote out this entire post and it not only didn't post, but it also disapeared, so here I am rewriting it. Grrr...
Anywho, I have a sincere question for those of you out there who oppose gay marriage based on religious beliefs; specifically Christian beliefs.
I understand the religious argument against gay marriage. I've seem Leviticus; I've heard the argument that although lots of stuff is considered a sin in the Bible, some don't count anymore but this one does because reasons. I got it.
But what about divorce? There are 18 different Bible passages in the Old and New Testament condemning divorce. To divorce and remarry is to commit adultery; which is on of the Ten Commandments. It seems to me that divorce is condemned significantly more than homosexuality in the Bible. Homosexuality isn't even one of the Ten Commandments.
So why aren't Christians who are publicly opposed to gay marriage also publicly opposed to divorce? Why aren't those who are campaigning against gay marriage also campaigning to make divorce illegal? If baking a cake for a gay couple makes them complicit in sin, why aren't they also refusing to bake cakes for second and third marriages in order to not be complicit in their sin of adultery?
