marriage

chillax. not my marriage. just, marriage. in general terms. or, more specifically, gay marriage. the fact that homosexual couples cant legally be married in all but 5 states in the us is nothing less than shocking to me.

most anti-gay marriage supporters are religion. no surprise there. most arguments against gay marriage are religious in nature. no surprise there either. so, god intend marriage to be the holy matrimony between a man and a woman. yeah fair enough. so the argument is valid, as long as the couple marries in the church. needless to say, the church does not recognize same sex couples as marriage. fair enough.

one thing people often forget is that, the church also does not recognize opposite sex non-believer as married. well, no, they wont say that straight out. but that is the truth. to be married in the church, one must be a member of the church. so, screw whatever your marriage certificate says, that piece of paper has no power under this roof.

so then, comes the concept of civil marriage. marriage under law. atheists, agnostics, whatever else non religious members of the society calls themselves, are married according to law. so then, why do the marriage atheists seek be religious in nature? can it not be a simple union between two people, a vow of love, for life? because when it comes down to it, marriage is just that simple.

if civil marriage should have no religious flavor in it what so ever, then what is keeping homosexual marriage from being legal? family planning. most people believe that kids raised in a homosexual family will be "screwed up". i see no data to back this up. HA, more like, i have not researched any data to say if this is true or not.

so my rambling stops here. the fight for gay marriage is long. wont be easy. but will be worth it.
