Like I said before, my faith comes before my country.  When I die, politics won't save my ass from going to hell.

That's why I won't support homosexual marriage.  If you can't respect that, then ban me.

faith doesn't replace personal choice and judgement. When you hit the gates of heaven, and St. Peter asks you what the hell you were thinking when you did something, you can't just say, "because the church told me so".

By denying gay marriage, you're accepting the doctrine that homosexuality is an immoral behaviour, and that those people are not deserving of a life-long loving relationship.

And if you accept that, then you are passing judgement of your fellow man, and in the eys of god, according to Jesus' teachings, that's idolatry.

I don't argue that there's a merit to not supporting something that is against one's moral beliefs, but in light of all the evidence that a homosexual relationship is not immoral, why deny them the right to marriage?

And why should it be law, when the churches had no say for the majority of history?

P.S. I'm not going to ban you because of your beliefs. But consider the following:
your argument comes down to a couple lines in a book over 2 centuries old and a blind acceptance to the centuries old understanding.
The arguments made against your view take an almagamation of history, current scientific understanding and a willing to listen to all arguments.

can you, or anyone provide evidence that being a homosexual is immoral?
