People are able to love eachother without marriage or religion. I’m not religious and I don’t need to prove something to a person I love by marrying her. In my world a god doesn’t exist although there is love in my life.

marriage is between any two people that love eachother. i dont understand why all the religious ass holes need to try to ruin someone elses happiness. it doesnt directly affect you, so shut the fuck up about it. are you marrying another man if your a man, or another woman if your a woman? if not, then SHUT UP!

Well I’m glad you feel sorry for those people, Mr. Biggot. Hopefully it deflates your head a bit. People can love whether or not they believe in God. It’s an emotion. Unless you’re a robot, you’re capable of it. Sure, some people like us accept marriage as a means to become closer with God, blah blah blah, but that doesn’t make everyone else less human. Your beliefs are bitter. Stop shoving them down our throats.

And PLEASE keep your self-contradictions to a minimum.

As far as I’ve ever seen, there are two arguments for same sex marriages. Love, and the rights obtained through marriage. I give you this: if a man truly loves another man, why is marriage such a necessity? Can they not love each other if they aren’t married? And then isn’t it just about publicizing their love? If it’s rights, what’s wrong with a civil union? Why does it have to be a marriage?

That said, marriage IS NOT inheritly a religious institution, let alone a Christian institution.

Marriage can be traced as far back as, and probably farther than, Hammurabi’s Code, and it was a legal institution. It can only be guessed as to what the original purpose of marriage is. It could have been sexual rights to the woman the man was marrying, or paternal rights to whatever children they had had or would have had.

Even in European history, marriage was a business agreement between two families.

For about three centuries after Jesus Christ’s death (the beginning of christianity) marriage was viewed as a private, and required nothing religious.

In the twelfth century, marriage and love were thought to be INCOMPATIBLE.

It wasn’t until 1563 that it was even required to have a priest overseeing a marriage.

Make no mistake, marriage as a religious institution is still a *relatively* new thing, and marriage certainly isn’t based on any religion.
