It is the Christians of this day and age that came up with the one man and one woman lie.
As for gays marrying, someone will have to explain to me why they would want the same 'rights' as heterosexuals regarding marriage, because they can currently enjoy all of the benefits without succumbing to the marriage/divorce legal system. The Family Law court is a joke, and I'm honestly saddened that now there will be same sex divorces. Divorce sucks!
Well, the only way to get even close to the same benefits is through multiple legal maneuvers vs one contract and some rights are exclusive to marriage.

Indeed, the all powerful creator of the entire universe can't stop people from stealing his stuff.

Well this link elucidates more of the difference but basically for right now it seems that the Feds treat them differently.

Opposition to same-sex marriage based on religion marks that believer as a bigot who ignores their own dictate that their god is to do the judging. It is an arrogant act of hubris wherein the assume the mantle of the deity they're claiming to speak for, instead of letting him handle it. Perhaps they're afraid that god's "mysterious ways" don't include a clause regarding their hobby-horse?

I read Mark 10:11 (etal) as:
one man, one woman, once.
And even the Westboro bastids don't get it right.
