Jarod... I fully understand that right now, the government is involved in marriage and that you can get a marriage license from government offices without any type of religious ceremony.
Try to actually read what I wrote. I said Marriage IS a religious ceremony that the government SHOULD NOT be a part of if you truly believe in seperation of church and state. ALL couples could apply for cival unions that allow all the government benes. THIS keeps everyone happy. Marriage stays up to the religious groups as to who they will marry and gay couples are treated as equals by the government.
