I think, the point where this logic misses is when somebody, with such christian belief, actively goes out and tries to vilify and fight against those who get married in a way that they disagree with.

It's completely fair that people who do not subscribe to Christianity would look negatively upon those who do and who are trying to force their belief systems on everybody else.

And it's arbitrary, anyway. How many passages from the Bible are nonchalantly dismissed by contemporary Christians because they're barbaric or otherwise incompatible with modern society and Christianity? If you have to pick and choose your beliefs anyway, why should any respect be owed to those who choose to believe that gays have no right to marry?

I have no opinion on whether they are “evil”, but they certainly are causing actual harm to actual people. Religion is not a license to avoid accountability of this fact.
