If you are against gay marriage, you are a bad Christian.

It's about as bad as being childless.

Weak analogy.

How so? Neither group has produced children by heterosexual sex.

Well, that's not entirely true. Some homosexuals have. The childless and childfree have not, and that is the main reason why people are against homosexuality.

You know, it would be better if you presented the reasoning behind your assertions with the assertions instead of waiting until someone asks.

Seemed rather strong to me. Everytime someone gives an analagy you claim to be weak.

There is a vast difference between not having sex and thus not having children...and a man boning another man in the a**.

Counter-example: I routinely eat donuts. Donuts are made illegal. I can no longer acquire donuts easily, and must go to great lengths to purchase black-market donuts or learn to produce my own donuts (while avoiding scrutiny from the FBI). The banning of donuts has thus interfered with my life.

You shouldn't have been eating doughnuts in the first place.

And if they ban heterosexual sex? Or make watching movies illegal? How about... breathing?

Law =/= correct. Not all the time.

According to who? I'm sure the employees of Krispy Kreme would disagree with you.

Or, you know, they could agree. Employee of certain place =/= advocating.

There you go, you're interfering. You're making something illegal, encouraging people not to do it, and persecuting them for not listening.

We have a different idea of what counts as "interfering" and/or "judging" goes.

ORLY? What is it?

The point is not how sex is had, but the outcome of the decision made resulting in no children.

Your teaching does not make you a bad Christian

I should have expected this from a heretic.

Lemme ask you this: If you believe that being a Christian first and foremost involves a right faith of Christ, then how can you say that one can be a good Christian without a right faith?

Because, as the book of Hebrews teaches, there is a distinction between spiritual milk and meat and bread. I'm sorry that you can't distinguish between them, Barraketh.

And, really, do you expect a reprisal of 'heretic' to a protestant from a papal boot-licker to actually mean anything?

Because heterosexuals always have man-on-top-of-woman-vanilla-missionary-style sex, right?

Why the hell would I care about outcomes? Believing in Christianity once upon a time had an outcome of death.

And what about a man boning a woman in the a**?

Straw man argument. I never said that the only permissable way of having sex is man on top of woman vanilla missionary style sex.

Yet you implied that only homosexuals practice sodomy.

Because that was the hinge of the analagy. If you do not recognize it, just like I am guessing you do not recognize Ananels thesis, does not make them any less valid.
