What married people get is decided by government, like tax benefits. What is sacred is the act of marrying defined in the Bible. Two separate things. You're saying that if the couple receive the same treatment by the [i]government[/i], that we can call it marriage as defined by the [i]bible[/i] to be between man and women. It wouldn't be marriage, no matter what either couple received after.

  • the legal definition of marriage, in a handful of states still, is between a man and woman.

  • My point is the term marriage comes from the bible. Just because a gay and straight couple would receive the same tax breaks from the governments doesn't mean they could both get married. Marriage is a sacred thing, to Christians. Why wouldn't someone who was gay want to call it something else? They most likely don't consider themselves Christians, so why like the term so much? Maybe because Christians believe it isn't right?

  • marriage was a thing long before the bible was around. [quote] Marriage is a sacred thing, to Christians. [/quote]nobody's forcing christians to change anything about their beleifs. [quote]Why wouldn't someone who was gay want to call it something else? They most likely don't consider themselves Christians, so why like the term so much? [/quote]because marriage is the legal word we use.
