I came across a demonstration and saw a sign a lady had that said I surely did not ask her to civil union me, have I? And I thought well yes Mam I guess you did....? Why would you want anything else knowing that you wouldn't marry her since you do not believe in God?
In Malachi 2:14 we see that marriage is a holy covenant before God. God's people signed a written agreement at the time of the marriage to seal the covenant. The marriage ceremony, therefore, is meant to be a public demonstration of a couple's commitment to a covenant relationship. It's not the "ceremony" that's important in a marriage, it's the couple's covenant commitment before God and men.
There we are. From a wide range of legal issues that same sex couples are facing and that required to be solved a piece of legislation, we end up with an inflammatory debate too often ugly because some people think it is smart to provoke the religious crowds that are, and whether you think they are right or wrong doesn't matter, very conservative about the Marriage.
What good there can be about calling a Marriage something that isn't one exclusively designed to solve legal issues of people that do not believe anyway? Will it make them look more acceptable to anyone? I don't think it will.
