Just come forward with a well thought out argument as to why Homosexuals should not be allowed to marry. I do not want this to become another "slugfest", or another 5 page thread to nowhere, so let's refrain from the "I agree" posts. I would like it kept clean and streamlined. So...whaddya say? Come on out and play?

As marriage stands right now, both the legal and religious are the same. I voted against it due to my Christian beliefs that a marriage is supposed to be a reflection of Jesus's relationship to the church, and a special union between a man and woman. Christian beliefs also hold homosexuality to be immoral. As long as the marriage ceremony is only religious, I cannot justify supporting gay marriage based on my perspective and the beliefs I hold. However, if the discussed seperation between the legal and religious occured, I'd give all the power to those who want to pursue a legal marriage and make that lifetime committment.
