I got married to my wife in a secular ceremony, it had nothing to do with a fictitious god. And the adherents to that fictitious god have no ground to say what my marriage is or is not about.I'm not saying anything at all against a secular wedding ceremony. I'm just saying that marriage is a legal contractual lifelong commitment between a man and a woman whether it's secular or non secular. What I'm opposed to is the culturally distorted caricatures of marriage, which includes gay marriage, polygamy, and the kinds of marriages that festive mentioned.
