Civil marriage has nothing to do with religious marriage, except the similarity in the name.<br /><br />I worry more about attempts to force churches to accept views that they don't agree with. Lawsuits to force churches to perform gay marriages, for example.Tom Bridgelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13098048586042365606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-88717090440778201632010-12-03T15:14:43.911-06:002010-12-03T15:14:43.911-06:00I'm all for getting government out of the marr...I'm all for getting government out of the marriage business, but unless it's done in a way that doesn't threaten the huge business of divorce lawyering, the legal profession is going to fight it tooth and nail.Kurt '45superman' Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091930034162667742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-77775653915074528472010-12-03T12:30:28.639-06:002010-12-03T12:30:28.639-06:00Nate, I've been saying that for year!
What ...Nate, I've been saying that for year! <br /><br />What is worse is, the religious right, fails to see the hypocrisy they have with opposition to gay marriage. They want their cake and to eat it as well; in that limited government vs big government can withstand an issue litmus test.FightinBluHen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/03495965223520506990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-63356578836242254462010-12-02T21:44:19.040-06:002010-12-02T21:44:19.040-06:00Both of you beat me to it.

They ought to only provide civil union licenses to any two adult people that request it. That CU license should then make those persons eligible for the privileges typically reserved for married persons. Marriage, like baptism and consecration of priests needs to be a religious ceremony, not permission to receive the typical privileges that we assume marriage provides.Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163951461124409035noreply@blogger.com
