Marrige is Gods union and until the church starts fighting for our marriages things will only get worse.
it will be a dark day when 2 men are united and seen exactly the same as a christian man and his wife by the godless govt who 'permitted' them to marry.
Sadly tho, we must get a license if we want to protect our spouses in the case of our death...kwim?

Why? Why will it be a dark day? Gay couple are being married all across the world, why do you think it'll only be bad once it happens in the US? Do you really think your country is that special... wait, don't bother, I already know your answer.
What exactly is wrong with a godless government? You might like to live in a country that promotes your religion, but what if the government adopted a religion that wasn't your own? What if the government banned your religion? You should appreciate your freedom to worship whomever you want. For the vast majority of human history, it hasn't been so nice.
1. You don't lose anything in your straight marriage if gays are allowed to marry.
2. The Church Of Your Choice is under no obligation to sanction homosexual marriage. That's fine, get a JP or just do it down at City Hall, with a big blowout party after.
3. Yes, you have to get a license. Remember Kent Hovind. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's.
Marrige (sic) is Gods (sic) union
FoC is free to believe that, but from the State's nonsectarian point of view, it's basically a financial contract. If Foc's, or anyone else's, church wants to make something more of it, they can. But the rest of us aren't obligated to follow the teachings of FoC's church.
Baptist chaplain imprisoned for threats against the "second wife" he brought into his family
"My wife and I were in a lull in our relationship and looking for something to spice up our sexual relations," the ordained Southern Baptist minister said during the proceeding.
Tyler lived at his home as his "second wife," Lau said, and took vacations with the family to Cyprus, the Caribbean and the Florida Keys. He said Tyler wanted to live with the couple indefinitely in an "exclusive relationship."
Tyler, however, told The Watertown Daily Times that Lau was a sexual sadist and expert manipulator who lured her into a relationship with promises of emotional stability and a life in the United States.
"It wasn't like I just fell in love with them and decided to be 'the second wife,'" Tyler said. "What I thought they were doing was putting me on the straight and narrow, restoring my confidence."
Lau said the three had sexual relations, which he described as consensual but which Tyler described as occurring "under duress."
"The price for objections is severe. If you object, you pay because he's 'The Master,'" she told the newspaper.
"Gods union"
Right. Yahweh is a member of the International Fraternity of Deities, Avatars, and Omnipotent Forces, Local 77.
"Marrige is Gods union"
What about the marriages that existed long before Christianity did?
"and until the church starts fighting for our marriages things will only get worse"
The church needs to mind its own business.
"it will be a dark day when 2 men are united and seen exactly the same as a christian man and his wife by the godless govt who 'permitted' them to marry."
The church won't have to marry anyone they don't want, you know. Wait. You don't know. Anything.
"Sadly tho, we must get a license if we want to protect our spouses in the case of our death...kwim"
...what?
his very last comment id it in a nutshell! We gays want marriage to protect the lives we've built with with our partners, in exactly the same way as straight couples.
If FoC doesn't like it, and it's such a religious insult he can opt out of the civil recognition bit - he'd be just as married with a blessing but no registration UNLESS he wants the civil rights as well, but to be exclusive to just his definition of "couples"
Of course, gay marriages will wreck potential straight marriages. All the polite, fashionable guys will be taken. ;)
Seriously, FoC, get over yourself.
“Marrige is Gods union”
It’s a state-registered partnership.
“and until the church starts fighting for our marriages things will only get worse.”
Worse? I was in Mass when the state supreme court established SSM. Nothing changed in my marriage.
Well, when my son came out of the closet, we didn’t have to stop teasing him about grandkids.
“it will be a dark day when 2 men are united and seen exactly the same as a christian man and his wife by the godless govt who 'permitted' them to marry.”
Will it be darker than the 70s, when all those married men came out of the closet, surprising their wives and children?
How will it be dark?
How in the blazing fuck are you affected at all?
“Sadly tho, we must get a license if we want to protect our spouses in the case of our death...kwim?”
Yes, the Church has no power to decide if your wife or girlfriend has a greater right to your bank account.
So, you recognize that it’s a government institution, not a divine one, and still inside on God’s permission. How odd.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
