Of course, if all christians followed God's law in marriage, they wouldn't need a civil contract to protect the partners. As far as I'm concerned though, I'm married whether or not the government tells me I am. I don't need the government's authorization to be married.
Understood. I feel the same way about the church's sanction. That whole marriage is-between-a-man-and-a-woman crap is why it is hard to co-habitate with most xtians. I wish they would just enjoy the freedom to practice their religion their way and leave the rest of us out of it. Many 'murican xtians seem compelled to throw everyone else under the bus in order to suck up to their guy in the sky. I really don't mind believers being believers. I just want to get back the same tolerance in return.
