"No, it doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that interracial marriage is prohibited."

I wonder how did pull this stunt for so long, before it was banned ? Its probably tied to slavery. I'll look further into it, but it smells of religion to me.

"As long as you have a Christian majority in the U.S., it's not likely you'l find many people that will agree to the destruction of the core Christian values of this country. That's not a judgement, it's just my opinion."

That's reasonable. But then we should call ourself a christian nation and not pretend to be otherwise.

Bum.

But marriage is Christian and I don't want that institution blemished and the 84% of Americans in this country don't want it either.

So I'll ask again.

What's the difference between a co-ed marriage and a gay civil union, other than the word "marriage". Is it OK if the civil union gay pair get all of the legal ramifications of a co-ed marriage, but they can't call it a "marriage"?

Just trying to figure what all the huff is about!!

RE: "But marriage is Christian "

What about Jewish folks that marry - doesn't their marriage count too?
