Exactly right. As a Christain I can no longer place any respect on a government
defined or endorsed marriage. And looking back I see that I never should have.
A true marriage is a union before God, and it doesn't matter at all what the
state says. They shouldn't be in the business of issuing marriage liscenses at
all - that is a duty of the church or of whatever non-religious non-governmental
system you want to use if you don't identify with a church.
