If Gay Marriage is a Religious Issue then why not just get married by Justice of Peace?

Gay Marriage opponents say it is a religious issue and that is fine for them to think. Gays can marry in either their own church or by a justice of the peace. How will Conservatives feel about that, seems quite fair to me?If Gay Marriage is a Religious Issue then why not just get married by Justice of Peace?
Because that would ruin their theory! Gays could then get married in their own churches if it is a religious issue.If Gay Marriage is a Religious Issue then why not just get married by Justice of Peace?
Marriage is the joining of one woman and one man by God.The government is irreverent. True marriage between two men or two women can not exist because the union will not be blessed by God.


Further more the imposition of the government into marriage should be questioned on the grounds of the so called separation of Church and state. Governments imposition into marriage is unconstitutional.
The issue is will the government would force Christian Churches that don't consent to Homosexual Marriages to allow them. I could care less if the government allowed civil unions based upon the differences between church and state.





Marriage is a sacrament between man, woman and God.


Civil Unions is a contract between two individuals and the government.





Why should the government be allowed to dictate to the Church what they should allow?
Marriage is a joining of a MAN and WOMAN before God. If a church is marrying homosexuals then it is obviously not following Christian law since the Bible specifically denounces homosexuality. Thus, gays should not be married. The Bible says that a man will be united to his ';wife'; not to his husband.
That's fine, but it is the Gays that are making this an issue. They want it EXACTLY the same, or they will whine and cry that they are ';hated';. Which is clearly not the case.

Soon people will want to marry their dogs and have it more than a civil union! The decline of our morals in this country, unbelievable!
Yes it is a religious issue. It goes against god's word. Also, I bet if you dug up the founding fathers and asked them what they said about Gay marriage, they would cuss you out and punch you in the face for being an Idiot liberal fagot!
Gay people should be allowed to get civil unions but not to use the word ';marriage'; to apply to their relationship.





Utah had to accpet the one-man one-woman definition of marriage to become a state.
The state should not use a religious term. That violates church/state. The term marriage should be removed and everyone should use the term ';civil union.';
Or, how about the gay community just settles for the civil unions or domestic partnerships. IT'S THE SAME FING THING.





Why defile our sacred term of marriage?


Why can't they just suck up their pride and hate for once?
THEY DON'T WANT TO ALLOW IT TO BE CALLED ';MARRIAGE';





BUT, I AM SURE THEY ARE IN FAVOR OF EQUAL LEGAL RIGHTS, NOT SPECIAL ONES, RIGHT CONSERVATIVES?
Yeah sounds fair. I'm a liberal, and I am very very pro gay marriage. People are just ignorant.
Gay Marriage and abortion are both individual morals and should not be a debate.
i agree.


under the law it should be legal.


the church cam decided wether or not they would like to recognize it.


ive always thought that.
Thank you.





It really doesn't have to be a big deal, conservatives are the only ones seeing a problem with this.
St. Valentine performed illegal marriages... and today we celebrate a whole day dedicated in his honor.
exactly.
good question.......idk
or gay people impregnate each other or can they do that
