Reply #30: For those of you who didn't get it

I cut and pasted a post from a guy who asked the same question about gay marriage. I just changed the nouns.

Marriage is a legal contract that protects spouses from each other if something happens.

If you get married in a religeous ceremony then you are really married twice. The religeous ceremony doesn't count. The Priest, Rabbi, Shaman, etc., is empowered by the state to sign the CIVIL marriage license which is the only part that counts legally. If he doesn't do that then you aren't really married. So the whole argument is ignorant. Marriage is a civil union and the religeous part isn't recognized by the state.

Legally a Jew can marry a Catholic although it would be difficult for them to find a Priest or Rabbi to do the ceremony but they could walk into any "chapel" in Reno and have it done legally. If you don't want gay marriage then don't allow it at your Klan rally but legally it is a slamdunk, no contest issue.
