Compromised Gay marriage

[dimpy.handa]

Why should two people even have to sign a contract to get married or obtain a license. I mean I know lots of people throw out religion since God does not approve of people of the same sex aimlessly attempting to make children when it's impossible, but if their is no higher belief somewhere then what is the purpose of the marriage and the thought of love which one could easily say is just hormones, etc. There is a lot less anti-religion as people would like to pretend they just wont assign a god or name it because most major religions won''t accept gayness, but it doesn't mean there is no higher belief. I think alot of people are fooling themselves.

If we promised to not call it a "Christian marriage" or a "Muslim marriage" or any specific religious marriage, could we still get married?

I understand that gay marriage may go against your spiritual beliefs. So, as long as we gay people don't get married in your specific religion, could we still get married?

Could we have an "atheist marriage" or an "Azande marriage" or some marriage that coincides with a religion or belief system that DOES allow gay marriage? Even the ancient Egyptians had gay marriage.

In this country (the USA), no one religion can control how the other religion gets married (for example: Muslims aren't allowed to control how Christians get married, and vice versa).

So, if we homosexuals got married in another religion besides your own, would that be fine? Because then we wouldn't be getting married according to Christian/Muslim/Jewish/etc. laws, and thus wouldn't be making a "mockery" of your beliefs.

Or even simpler: what if we got a LEGAL marriage (as in: one that's performed in a court, and ordained by a judge)? That way we can skip the WHOLE religion thing. I think that's called a "secular wedding."

PLEASE NOTE: Gay marriage advocates are NOT trying to force every last church, mosque, synagogue, and temple to perform gay marriage rites. They just want to be able to get married in a legal sense - in a court of law, and thus OUTSIDE of a church.

"God's word, the Bible, teaches that homosexual relationships are sin, therefore we as Christians cannot allow gay mairrage"
