California's controversial ban on same-sex marriage voted into effect in 2008, known as Prop 8, could soon land in the Supreme Court as smaller courts have decided the amendment might be unconstitutional. It was passed by a tight margin four years ago, and when we asked SodaHeads what they thought about the proposition's constitutionality we found that it hasn't gotten any less controversial. Political views were obviously an enormous factor, but we decided to zero in on other demographics, instead -- gender, age, location. We hope you find the results as interesting as we did! Let's dive.

Which makes me wonder if you guys pro-life stance is really as selfless as they try to make it out to be. We are talking about two consenting adults together for reasons of love and commitment.
How can so many Christians be so selfish, yet follow one of the most loving and accepting religious figures throughout History - Jesus?
2. Sexual orientation describes an enduring pattern of attraction—emotional, romantic, sexual, or some combination of these. Which means that both incest and bestiality are both sexual orientations, wrong sexual orientations, but sexual orientations none the less. So homosexuality being a sexual orientation makes it no less a perversion.
3. Gays having blood related families not only makes it no less wrong, but more wrong because it can ruin peoples relationships, and dignity. (If you are wondering how ask)
4. There is no need for gay's right to civil marriage because the reasons for ordinary civil marriages are: known or at least presumed paternity (which can't be in a gay marriage), procreation (which gays don't need marriage for), Child support (which again can't be in a gay marriage), and Survivor's rights (which once again gays don't need marriage for, since one can write a will). So gay marriage by law is completely unnecessary and religious marriage is ultimately up to the church.
5. To talk badly about christianity because we oppose same sex marriage is unto its self idiotic because we are one of many religions who do so. Nearly all religions ...

5. To talk badly about christianity because we oppose same sex marriage is unto its self idiotic because we are one of many religions who do so. Nearly all religions in fact oppose homosexuality.
6. If you are for choice in abortion then why aren't you trying to make prostitution, heroine, meth, cocaine, ecstacy, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and suicide legal at all ages? After all it's a persons body and choice right.
7. We are talking about adults, yet gays have more sex, and origies than many people watch porn, and are nearly always talking in gay voices trying to seduce other gay and have more sex, which is not mature.
8. Christians follow Jesus and go by a moral code in order to be good people and follow chivalry, I'll respect and talk kindly to any person I meet regardless of who they are, whether I don't like them, or what kind of person they are, including those of other races and religions, and do so because it is the right thing to do, because it is what our lord commanded us to with the ten commandments, and because it is in our bible. What do athiests do to make the world a better place?
I'am a good person, no because I fear the wrath of god but because I want to help.I am kind to all living things because I respect life and capable of making good choices on my own.
You are right not just Christians but most religions are the roots of racial and sexual prejudices. Remember the history of religions is bloody, cruel and repressive, no matter how much they claim to be based on love.
There is no evidence of a benevolent creator. There is much cruelty on earth, from a cat toying with a mouse, to snakes slowly squeezing the life out of their prey, to children born with terrible handicaps. To say that this is "all God's plan" seems like a pretty poor excuse.
To say that Satan is the cause of the world's ills makes no particular sense. If God is all powerful and all merciful, he would have rid the earth of Satan a long time ago, rather than let millions of innocents suffer.

Life on earth demonstrates survival of the fittest, strongest or most intelligent - all traits developed through natural selection. Random acts of cruelty are part of this system.
If god is as merciful as some religions would like you to believe, then he'll forgive those who think logically. If he is as vengeful and unforgiving as other religions claim, then who would want to live with a tyrant like that?
Jesus accepts and loves everyone but with His love and acceptance He offers the grace to be born again and to be changed by his love and power. Those who do not take that gift remain lost and children of darkness and sin.
Yes we have all sinned and come short of God's glory and I have sinned greatly and still have to resist sin. I have come to Jesus and He has changed me into a new person and is giving me power to overcome sin. He will do the same for anyone. Saying homosexuality is sin is no more "judging people" than saying incest is sin. We are not judging people we are judging behavoir. Judging others is putting them down and exalting yourself. My message to homosexuals is that their behavoir is perverted becasue they were born in sin as I was. They need to be born again as I do. We are all in the same boat and Jesus came to rescue us and take us out of the boat of sin. He came to destroy the works and accomplishments of the devil and I believe the manipulation of genes and perverstion of human sexuality is a major part of that.
To say a person was born messed up is exactly what the Bible teaches. There is a way out.
Is not place to educate you but you have your facts wrong, I am Atheist however most gays I know are good people and devoted Christians including my uncle and my brother; but the fact is that all religious leaders deceive their unsuspecting flock brainwashing and poisoning their brains and/or some people want to be told untruths; they are too lazy to work hard so it is preferable to wait for miracles. Even Jesus decried such an attitude.
Do we seriously want a return to the discriminatory practices between slaves and freeborn? Do we wish to return to the Dark Ages (not that we have moved so far away) when everything strange was considered a threat? When those who said anything contrary to the diviner's 'message' was killed? When rich men had to be buried with heads of innocent victims? When women were nothing more than pleasure goods for men? When every wound or illhealth could only be explained as an attack by stronger forces? When people lorded it over others just because they could inspire fear with their magic? When it would have been an abomination for someone to write(?) or say something against a people's god?
Which makes me wonder if you guys pro-life stance is really as selfless as they try to make it out to be. We are talking about two consenting adults together for reasons of love and commitment, no dogs nor legs; what pleasure do you get out of mucking and hurting other people feelings?

You say how bestiality and incest are perversions and since the gay community reject them and is a sexual orientation it is not a perversion. Well bestiality and incest are both sexual orientations which is defined as such; Sexual orientation describes an enduring pattern of attraction—emotional, romantic, sexual, or some combination of these, so this invalidates your argument that since homosexuality is a sexual orientation it is not a perversion because incest and bestiality are both perversions and sexual orientations. You also said that gays are part of American families, and that this justifies their actions, yet Charlie Manson had a family too, as with Hitler, but more importantly people who commit incest ( which wouldn't be possible without families ) however these people having families does not justify their acts, at least not in my christian view. You say how it doesn't infringe anyone's rights, which is true, but neither does bestiality or incest. It does however have an effect on other people, like children for example, and how it does this is when gays are acting inappropriately in public ( I will have a picture in a reply to myself ) and impose their position, orientation, and beliefs on people like ...

It does however have an effect on other people, like children for example, and how it does this is when gays are acting inappropriately in public ( I will have a picture in a reply to myself ) and impose their position, orientation, and beliefs on people like children who are influenced by everything from gang violence to drugs to ads. You single out Christians and Christians only for opposing gay marriage, yet you have no idea what religion people on here are ( save for me since I told you I am christian earlier ) and you only criticize Christians for this when most religions oppose this, but I will give my side to this judgement, I and most Christians don't expect gays to be straight or do as we do, I do however would want them to leave my institutions and practices alone, like marriage, and baptism, I wouldn't appreciate it if someone told me I can't use water in baptism anymore and had to use Gatorade to support the economy, it is my practices, beliefs and religion so don't try to change them. I am not the most generous person in the world, but to give people the choice to kill their child for the sake of the freedom to do what one wants with their bodies isn't exactly selfish since we have laws in place against prostitution, and drugs to protect people who would do these, and it is known that abortion has a negative effect on peoples bodies. Gays are adults, but are not always mature ( same goes for anyone, I will demonstrate this in a reply to myself ) and should be able to have love and commitment without marriage ( like how straight people do) and shouldn't go screwing with other people's practices ( marriage ). I get no pleasure in mocking and hurting other people's feelings, and it shouldn't hurt gay's feelings if I don't want them to change things that I value ( marriage ). Not all Christians are selfish, and not all Christians are loving and accepting, but true Christians try to be like Jesus and be loving and accepting, but not all things should just be accepted ( war, murder, violence, lust, rape, perversion, greed, gluttony, suicide, exesive laziness, arrogance, and envy ) and such things should not be loved either.
Straight people can also be inappropriate ( we Christians call this behavior lust )
