Let me clarify that it was never my intention to bash Christians or conservatives. I said I found it silly to take your orders from an old book, but that's me. I find it silly. If someone else wants to, more power to them. No skin off my nose. As long as they don't use it as justification for attacking others.

And DaveTWB, I don't think anyone wants to drape anything in Christiantiy. The goal here is state sponsored marriage, not church weddings. Which I believe are two separate things.
Being married in the eyes of the government, and being married in the eyes of God, are not the same thing.
