I've got no problem with people using the bible to justifying their opinions as those opinions have probably been formed from their religion. I do have a problem with people saying that because the bible says something, it should apply to everyone.

As I've been trying to explain, the laws set down in the Old Testament have no control over us now. It is the New Testament which we draw things off. As I've stated twice before, we are under grace. Not the law.

You may be under grace, but I don't consider myself to be. Many other forumers would not consider themselves under either grace or law. Perhaps you should phrase yourself a little more specifically rather than just saying 'we' or 'us'.

However, I must stress that none of these are impossible. Let us turn towards...the snowball effect. Gay Marrige is seen as a, dare I say it, minor* issue, when compared to somewhat larger polygamy, and the absurd size of Bestiality. But, if Homosexual union is recognized, the next smallest issue will demand recognition, and the next...and the next...and the next. Suddenly the most minor issue is now the largest one. Do you see? None of these claims are impossible. Yes, highly unusual and extraordinarly unlikely, but still. Slowly, more and more increasingly, "radical," beliefs will be pressed upon us. In my opinion, legalizing Gay Marrige is but the first step, down a dark and twisted road.

I've always thought that this justification is completely ridiculous. Can you point to any example where a slight loosening of the severity of a law lead to such a major change as you've suggested. The end of Prohibition did not lead to a legalisation of every single illegal drug - in fact more drugs have been criminalised since then.
