Evangelical Alliance: "We aren't homophobic women-haters"

Marriage predates Christianity by at least a thousand years, probably much more than that. Hebrews, Egyptians, Chinese, and many other peoples defined it to include a man and one or more women. Romans and Greeks went the one man one woman route but there are many variations across the world. Some cultures invoke god about it, but many don't. People of other religions, and no religion have been getting married in this country for a very long time. Christians have no special claim to the institution.

Marry, don't marry who you want in your churches, but don't say you have any special claim. You might as well say sex is sacred to Christians and sex laws should reflect that.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
