Well it's not as bad a creating a law and then ignoring it.Even Satanic Priests perform marriages in the US
So? By what percent of the total marriage rate in America?
That's far from true - I have performed weddings, and I'm not a Pastor.
So, that makes you an authority on marriage? That statement is nothing but an anecdotal argument.
Not to mention, there are plenty of denominations of Christianity that have no problem performing same sex marriages.
Thus my point. If Christianity is so homophobic and bigoted, then it serves as an irony that they would get married under it's precepts and commandments.
Imams
Sure, but doesn't Islam condemn homosexuality outright?
who perform marriages all the time.
I'm looking for statistics here, not unsubstantiated assertions. Given that over 75%of America professes to be Christian, it's natural to assume most of the marriages are performed by those who belong to Christianity. We call it a plurality.

In case you forgot what you had previously claimed, you said that Christian Pastors are the "only" people who perform marriages in the US. Now you're moving the goalposts.

I have no idea which random unrelated talking point you're trying to change the subject to.
