Provide a compelling argument for disallowing gays to marry without using the terms "The Bible", "I feel", or "Jesus" and I'll entertain it. Otherwise you're simply using religious rhetoric to promote your own bigotry.

1. Making the assumption that I'm a bigot or that I don't even want to allow gays to marry shows how quickly you jump to conclusions.

2. I don't think anyone should get married, at least in the state level. It's technically a religous term and interferes with the Seperation of Church and State. I propose civil unions for any 2 adults that want to be together and they all get the same benefits. If they want to call it a "marriage," they can go to a church that will "wed" them.

Lol wow. It's a bit late to say "I don't think marriage should be a state issue", it has been for hundreds of years. Laws don't simply go away because you are opposed to them.

Marriage is not a religious term. At one time it was, but since being recognized by law clearly it is not simply a religious matter.

It's pretty clear you are avoiding discussing your position rationally and are instead proposing hypotheticals which are impossible.
