I would agree with this somewhat. However, since marriage is already government recognized and it has tax benefits that would be a losing battle. So, I figure if the government can recognize some marriage it has to recognize all marriages. Since not everyone believes in the G-man the government has to recognize secular marriage to remain fair. Besides, seperation of church and state, it can't recognize a religious institution therefor the very admittance of government recognized marriage means that they're saying its a legal thing, not a religious thing.

I agree with all of this. In theory Wayfarer's idea of getting rid of government sanctioned marriage altogether is something I agree with, but in practice one has to recognize that opponents of same-sex marriage already feel that the institution of marriage in under attack. Pushing to get rid of government recognition of straight marriages would make those people really feel under attack and cause them to fight even harder against same-sex marriage.

I have nothing wrong with *** marriage.

Everyone may now proceed to jump on me about being a Christian and being okay with *** marriage and how it's contradictory and blah blah blah

Why would people jump on you? I wish more Christians had no problem with gay marriage.

yeah I'm not sure people are going to flip out. And its really not contradictory.

From my point of view, the bible will contradict itself. If you're Christian, theres an overwhelimg amount of support on the pro-*** marriage side than the one line against.

Trust me, lots of non-believers love running off on a tangent about one-liners and small details, they fail to see the big picture
