Honestly..if you can't make a living at what you're doing while remaining true to your religion...it seems like you might want to pick a different profession?
That's not at all what you're objecting to, ofc..unless "practicing your religion" is the euphemism you use for discrimination. Is it, can we get confirmation on that count? Can you not simultaneously be a christian and not be a bigoted, discriminatory asshole? Really? I only ask..because some seem to manage it.
Yet again, what objective essential feature distinguishes a marriage from any other relationship or social institution, like co-signing roommates, business partners, care-givers with power of attorney, and the like?
