not only that.. it was ordained by God.
other religions may have "unions" but they are based on their religion.
maybe it's the word "marrige" that causes the problem.
a gonverment sanctioned union is another thing. right now the government recognizes marrige, but is trying to put it's trying to define it how it wants. not the way God designed it.
change that. homosexuals are trying to redifine marrige, and trying to get the government to agree.
only answer i see is to not let the government endorse marrige. no marrige liscenses. no benefits. nothing.
but then how do you deal with christian marriges? if the government endorses them that violates the seperation of church and state. if we can't have the 10 commandments in a park somewhere, we can't get married either.
well im talking follishly. im actually trying to come up with a logical response that people here will understand about how Christians feel about marrige.
logical. lol like 2/3 here listen to that.
