kulotsalot is right, not every straight couple gets married with the intent of having kids; or to proclaim their belief in God. A lot do it these days as a financial solution. Saying that this country was founded by god fearing christians isnt going to fly very much longer, those days are coming to a close. No one is asking you to appologize, but they are asking that they be treated equally, and I'm pretty sure that the bible says you are supposed to love everyone equally. Government and Church should be completely seperated, as it says in the Constitution.

The problem with making the bible the basis of marriage is that it depends so much on interpretation. Some parts of it say "love everyone no matter what" and some parts of it say "all sinners will go to hell" and being gay is a sin, etc.

I wish they'd make two types of marriages. One that is recognized by their religion, and then another that is recognized by the gov't. That way the people who are staunch believers that God did not intend for two people of the same sex to get married, can keep their religious marriages free of those, but the gov't, who, supposedly, should be separate from the various churches, can't hide behind the moral issue since when making their decisions.
