which, i think, is the best point (cuz its mine, from page 1!)

a religion is a private club -- they're allowed to make up the rules of their organization like that. somethings bad? ... god says so! pork is the devil? ok! pray on this mat 11 times a day? sure! whatever. if thats what they think god said, so be it. its their choice.

but, with the gubment (specifically the US's), i can't see a legal justification to disallow same sex marriages. the US gov doesn't have the luxury of assigning what god you believe in, if you believe in one at all.

they shouldn't be allowed to disallow marriages anymore than they're allowed to disallow friendships.
