If anything it is a expansion of what would legally be called marriage. Just a reminder to these people, 'One man, one woman' is not the only definition of proper marriage in the Bible. Quite a few interesting variations exist. How many of these, including concubines, sisters, slaves and outright purchases, are accepted today?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893905850199214519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-5422375257168538692013-06-20T18:50:17.377-07:002013-06-20T18:50:17.377-07:00What absolute twaddle!

I must first question the premise that the Church's (I assume they mean the "Christian" Church's) proper role is that of mediator" in our society. I find no historical basis in this country for that assumption. Secondly, Same sex marriage and\or civil unions are recognized in over 30 countries throughout the world and I challenge anyone to show one instance in which it has led to the creation of a "police state." They need to find some other gimmick to keep their sheep in the pews.dlbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775556372271427903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-45281826797372541992013-06-20T18:02:53.515-07:002013-06-20T18:02:53.515-07:00"The Church"????

If two people with a marriage license chooses to have a religious ceremony, that is their business, but a religious ceremony is NOT a requirement to be married.Jerry Callenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047481301450377710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-361512388303915702013-06-20T16:11:48.889-07:002013-06-20T16:11:48.889-07:00Maybe they'd have to stop getting married them...Maybe they'd have to stop getting married themselves, since that equivalency thing is so distressing to them. <br /><br />Much like people who couldn't ride in segregated buses anymore just stopped riding buses altogether.
