C - Anything else is just burning witches.

The definition of marriage? To me it's this piece of paper they make you sign in court so two people can share taxes, debts, medical insuarance and lots of other shit two single people can't share. Everything else is whatever someone wants to make of it like love or money or whatever.

WIN!

Generalizing much?

I don't think the government really has any right to legislate morals, let alone marriage.  It should be left to the churches to decide how they want to handle their traditions. With that said gays and lesbians need to, at the very least, be allowed to form a union that is given equal legal footing (and requirements) to that of marriage.

I agree. Furthermore, IMO, the government should not have the right to recognize one church over another. If someone wanted to create a Klingon church of Jedi Homosexuality it should have as much sway in the eyes of a secular state as the catholic church, namely none. Of course this would mean choosing between granting tax exempt to all weird "churches" or to none.

the one from the Christian religion, a man and a woman

anything else is just a union and not a marriage

Hey if they are willing to jump through the hoops to get the governmental status that all churches go through then more power to their Homosexual Jedi Klingon congregation. 

So you have a name for your church yet?

I prefer option D - A union between a man and a woman consumated by burning a witch.

I give this thread a 9.3.

@Sqrl
I'm talking about a purely secular government that doesn't recognize ANY churches or has such a broad definition of churches that in can encompass anything.

And I wouldn't have anything to do with that church. (Because of the Star Wars/Trek stuff, not homophobia)
