I have been reading the Is Gay Marriage Immoral thread with some interest. Now I understand that Christians think that homosexuality is immoral. What I don't understand is why homosexuals are being persecuted over this more than many other people who lead equally immoral lifestyles according to the bible.
The first commandment clearly states that "you shall have no other gods before me". Hindus not only have other gods before "him", they have upwards of 3 million other gods at the exclusion of "him"!. Why are hindus allowed to marry with no fuss whatsoever? Are the Hindus allowed to flout that commandment?
Now I'm sure you can claim that Hindus aren't Christian and so would obviously not pay that Commandment any heed, but then gay people aren't Christian either (well not exclusively). Why are they forced to Christian standards when other groups aren't?
(Note that this isn't the place to discuss whether or not gay marriage is immoral, that more suited to the Is Gay Marriage Immoral thread )
