Why do Christians protest same sex marriage but don't protest divorce?

Gay marriage is simply not a right that someone, whether it be society or government, can just take and twist to make it different. Marriage is not a right, so gays need to stop that argument. Procreation of children is a biggie, most people argue with the old "but what about old/infertile people who want to marry?"

That's missing the point Civil unions ARE NO DIFFERENT legally, in the UK at least, so what's the problem? Gays who complain about the standards in America should should seeking Civil Union rights, not marriage. There will be no improvement for marriage statistics if gay marriage is passed, just look at Spain for example, argument over.

Also gay marriage advocates are generally not nice people :( Look at the hate mail received by that poor Christian couple who didn't want to provide Bed and Breakfast to the two gays. For me that was the final nail in the coffin for the old "same-sex marriage won't hurt you" argument. Conscience isn't even being respected now.

I'm a Catholic, but my Dad is atheist and feels the say way, I hate it how people try to force you into a stereotype.

There was nothing about children in my marriage service but then I didn't get married in church when I married 29 years ago. I also got married to ensure our daughter (already planned for and born outside of marriage) would not be treated as somehow disadvantaged during her education and that if anything happened to me, that her father would immediately be recognised as her parent and guardian. I certainly didn't need a ceremony to make a lifelong commitment to my partner, I'd already done that.

But I do understand that some people feel differently and want to make vow in front of other people and want to ensure that in the event of death, their partner will be treated as exacly that as far as their possessions are concerned. Who am I to say who can do that and who cannot. As long as the contract is between two adults, both fully consenting, then I don't care who does it.

Other people's marriages have no effect on mine or what mine means to me. And, if some people want a religious aspect then fine for them, let them have that. Why is it any business of mine?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
