When a heterosexual couple files for divorce, it the state that dissolves the contract. Nobody petitions God for a divorce. The state issues a marriage license, not God.Can you first walk me through the difference between marriage and civil union?
I have been asking conservatives this question for years. Never got a straight answer.
Marriage is seen by most as in the eyes of God. Civil Unions is seen by most as in the eyes of the court.
Fags getting married to me is a little like them spitting in the eye of God. But they can do what ever they want. God will take it up with them at a later date.
Marriages are a contract with protections and benefits from the state. Churches sanctify marriage, each in their own way.
The argument is whether it's fitting and proper for the state to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. How churches handle the ecclesiastical business is up to them.
