Why not lobby to change the definition of rapists to include those people who don't believe in god?
I think that is akin to what is going on here. It's just cray cray

no one likes a martyr dude
treat people with kindness and respect no matter what you or anyone else believes
if someone prods me or somehow finds out I am an atheist and proceeds to treat me in a different way, then that is THEIR problem, not mine. It is more telling about them as a person, not me.

Only in the sense that while religious folks get to be as open as they please about their worldview, I have to make a choice that either puts me in a position to hide what I believe or state it openly and risk a backlash...and there is a backlash. This having to hide in the closet is likely why I relate and defend gay issues as much as I do. I can appreciate the outrage at being told to stay quiet and pretend to be like everyone else while everyone else gets to be who they are.

Maybe, just not when it comes to this topic.

See above.

what does this have to do with gay marriage?

Not my intention, honestly. I went down this road when the guy felt the need to play the victim card...about being religious...in America.

Agreed.

Agreed. But I do resent not being able to be as open as they are without having to take on a giant risk they do not.

Can a single woman adopt? Can a single man?

I'm a single father, take care of my son on my own and he's just fine. Your argument sucks.

Brad Wilcox with the National Marriage Project is a great resource to follow. He links studies daily that dive into what makes a marriage or family successful. You can follow him on twitter or just go to their website. Lots of articles and links to explore:

Let me guess.
This thread is all about some Jesus freak throwing it in everyone's face as if their beliefs are right and nothing else matters?

linking me to a research project that I can google myself is not giving me peer reviewed studies supporting your case

You're the minority. Alot of kids would benefit from a healthy family.
With that said, if a gay couple wants to adopt a child and they raise it in a happy home and give that child what it needs while growing up, what business is it of anyone and why would you assume they would be terrible parents?

Probably one gay person that wishes her marriage were still illegal?

As a Christian, I do believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. From a secular perspective, I've yet to find a legit study that shows that children are not best served by a traditional, healthy marriage. Yes, there are plenty of screwed up marriages between a man and a woman where children suffer. Generally speaking, a traditional marriage where both parents are committed to the family is going to produce better outcomes for the children.
Then it seems you have a bigger gripe with single-parent households.
