I'd like to break something down to you folks. Marriage is a legal proceeding. It was first introduced via religion. When the seperation of state and religion initiated, this caused a problem. The rules of marriage, from religion, state it must be between man and woman. Okay. That's religion. Legal Marriage, according to law, is supposed to be between man and woman also. But this law comes from when religion was part of the state and its legal proceedings. They are no longer together. This law has never been changed. The only thing wrong with letting a woman marry another womany or a man marry another man is people's viewpoints. There is no negative impact on society or anyone at all. Murder, as defined in common law countries, is the unlawful killing of another human being with intent (or malice aforethought), and generally this state of mind distinguishes murder from other forms of unlawful homicide (such as manslaughter). In the Old Testament, it is a sin to kill someone unless it is an accident and although the human being is dead and no longer suffers, the victim's family suffers emotional and economic loss and also if they were married, the wife or husband left behind suffers and the children too. Same-sex Marriage is illegal because the bible says so (just like the murder example) and has never changed. [national law] What happened to seperation of state and religion? Who said the bible is the basis of legalities?
