Marriages weren't invented by religion... there is no reason they should have any claim what so ever on them... let religions come up with a new name.

okay, lets see, Latin used "maritatio", greeks used "gamos", so which one are you saying holds presidence on the term "marriage"?


Since the Romans spoke Latin... and had marriage(including gay) before Christianity i'd say it doesn't matter either way... since the greeks pretty much did the same thing. Though there were less cases of two people of the same age getting married, and it was a lot more a temporary thing... much like marriages today apparently. (The part that never gets mentioned is that women were married off to older men at the same age.)
