I understand Christianity fully. I'm American, and I was once evangelical/"born again". Dave is an utter hypocrite, but no one is knowledgeable enough on the subject to properly question him.

How many verses against homosexuality? At most, 7. Realistically, about 4. How many verses about women not talking/cutting their hair? More than double. How many verses about not eating pork/shellfish? More than triple.

Any Christian that has a HUGE PROBLEM with homosexual marriage is cherry-picking the Bible based on the society of their time, and their view has nearly nothing to do with their holy book. Not that I fully blame Dave, I doubt he's even read the Old Testament. And at least he's (mostly) cherry-picking the nice bits.
