It's just a battleground right now. Feels like I'm on a game forum when I'm there.
As a forum-warrior, I'm finding it pretty enjoyable.
How about everyone else?

At least on my side of facebook, the bible-thumpers have finally backed off and (most of them) admitted it's hypocritical.

It's not meant to be indefinite anyway.
Thing is, I'm lazy with **** like that, so I probably won't touch it for a while either way.
Only time I've bandwagoned a profile pic is when a group I'm in all got together and said "let's all set our profile pics to the exact same thing, then all comment nonchalantly on random posts and articles together."

I'm all for it. In NZ same sex marriage has been legalised for some time now.
That being said I do understand why it would be hard to accept for orthodox christian religious groups. Without getting too deeply into the debate it's a huge change for them and really flies in the face of their doctrine.
However at no point in the real world should religion impose on the happiness of people. You forget that these religious groups pick and choose what parts they actually follow in their magic book. Because shell fish are delicious. But that's a discussion for another day. Well I honestly don't begrudge Christians for wanting one of their more sacred practices reserved for those who do not directly transgress the tenets of their doctrine. I mean it is/was a part of their religion and identity. That being said religion seems to be nothing more than a means to justify why humans can make other humans miserable, it should never stand in the way of peoples happiness. I do quite like the more introspective systems of beliefs such as Buddhism though. Admittedly not holistically, I'm one of those pick which parts you subscribe to since I'm not looking for absolution, more in terms of personal peace of mind.
The issue was that legal rights are tied to marriage.
The fight was more over the piece of paper than over religious acceptance.
