Dude, you might as well not argue with this one poster. I'm the Presbyterian (USA) PP (a denomination which voted to allow same-sex marriages performed in the church in 2014--yay!), and also child of an ordained minister. However, I know that because I'm liberal and progressive, this poster would say that I'm not a "real" Christian.

Nothing will change you - not even logic or reason. Congratulations.
You're welcome to believe the world is flat and other weird stuff like that - that's absolutely your right. You call that strength and class - I call that close-minded.
By the way, who is telling you what to believe?

Somebody send a bulletin to the 63% of Mainline Protestants who support marriage equality - you're not Christians. Nor are the 56% of American Catholics who do.
Another bulletin to the denominations who formally embrace marriage equality - you are super duper not Christian. Also bigoted.
We all need to tell our kids that while they thought we were raising them as Christian we stand corrected.
It'll be difficult for tye Quakers to make this announcement in a timely fashion because meetings for worship are silent.
