And i dont think a man should be able to marry another man because it goes against the nature of what marriage should be. So why should you
insist that i am forcing my "religious beliefs" on the issue? my opinion on this matter has nothing to do with religion just pure common sense for what marriage is and has always been.

Honestly, I don't think you understand what consent means. It means that both parties AGREE, openly, that they are willing to enter into marriage with each other. Since I've never heard of anyone who speaks fluent "Bark", a dog can not give consent, even through an interpreter.

I know what consent means, however a person wanting to marry a dog/pet can present some of the same arguements that gays gives.

Are you comparing homosexuals to animals? Really? Are they "less" than you? Are their feelings less "valid" than yours?

No.. i am not comparing a Gay to a dog. The reason for my asking what your view was on people marrying pets was to simply illustrate that one can be opposed to gay marriage independent of the religious beliefs. So calling me a "religious zealot" because of my beliefs on gay marriage is just misreprestation of reality
