Why is it that whenever fundies talk about "homosexual brainwashing" of children, I hear *fapfapfapfapfap* in the background?

then communists and other atheistic ideologues
The only other "atheistic ideologues" that I can think of are Objectivists, and I doubt they could stand being in the same room with Communists, let alone work with them.

"by brainwashing and violence"
I thought you religious guys already had the trademark on that.

The state can then take the place of the natural parents and force its disgusting ideology on the children by brainwashing and violence.
Substitute "church" for "state" and that's what you'd love to do to everyone who doesn't share YOUR particular ideology. I have not one iota of sympathy.

@Thinking Allowed, it wasn't the Supreme Court; it was a lower court. This case will undoubtedly go to the Supremes, but it's not there yet.

Paranoid Schizophrenia, plain and simple.
Marriage was never owned by the Christian church. Marriage existed in multiple cultures long before. It was a means to pass wealth through the male heir in most cases.
Christians hijacked the "true meaning of marriage" in about the year 900 (give or take a few decades).
But all of that is moot really, since, in this country, marriage is an institution of the State. I can get married w/o your church and w/o your permission.
You are a traitor to this country when you deny basic rights of your fellow citizens: i.e., prohibiting one adult from marrying another adult.
And how in thee fuck does the marriage of two adults who love each other violate a free society?!
You're the bastards taking away freedom from other adults.
So fuck you very much.

Once a slavish devotion to the institution of marriage is established, then Christians and other religious ideologues will have removed the main building block of individual freedom. All that remains is to insinuate the religious organizations as the dispenser and arbiter of this social custom. The church can then take the place of the natural parents and force its disgusting ideology on the children by brainwashing and threats of afterlife violence.
Fixed.

And yet here in Canada nothing has happened. The birds are still singing, the flowers are blooming and crops haven't failed. In fact, our economy is doing better than yours.
Someday, the USA will grow up and join other civilized nations and allow gays to marry.

Once the true meaning of marriage is destroyed, then communists and other atheistic ideologues will have removed the main building block of a civilized free society.
Tell us in your own words how communists in practice handled gay issues.
The state can then take the place of the natural parents and force its disgusting ideology on the children by brainwashing and violence.
The state is forcing its disgusting ideology by allowing people more freedom? Has Queen Carlotta declared backwards day yet again?

Marriage quite obviously is part of every society, old, new, christian, islamic, hindu, communist, totalatarian, or free.
In other words, 'christian' marriage obviously isn't even close to being 'the main building block of a civilized free society'.
In other words, you are obviously stupid and your ranting worthless. The most benificial thing you could do for society would be to have as little as possible to do with it. Hate to say it, but you're simply not qualified to take part.
Edit: (actually, that part about hating to say it is a lie - in truth i found it quite theraputic)

Yes...absolutely... once we allow people to do things that you think shouldn't be allowed we will no longer be free...

Marriage is not, in any way, a building block of free society.

Marriage is the main building block of a civilized, free society?
Not, say, treating your fellow people in a civilized manner, and letting them be free to marry who they wish?

Non sequitur!
What IS the true meaning of marriage? Parents choosing partners for their children? A man and his seven wifes and fourteen concubines? Two children married off to each other to combine two large estates? Two people marrying out of love?
What does parenting have to do with marriage, really? You can become a parent without a marriage, and you can marry without having kids.

I read about the afterlife
Clouds, I understand this a little-known fact and so I will reveal it to you. Prepare for your mind to be blown.
In a nation run by communism, marriages are still performed!
Shocking, I know!

Allegory for Jesus
Marriage is the main building block of free society? Citation please.
Also needs citation: idea that allowing gays to marry destroys the meaning of marriage, idea that communism gains any advantage when gays are allowed to marry, that communism/atheistic ideologies are inherently oppressive, and that no marriage leads to state-raised children.
"1 + 2 = chocolate milkshake" caliber logic.
