" Marriage is a sacred institution...."...to institutions that DEAL in 'sacredness', it is....but civil marriage, to protect household and deal with taxes and insurance, etc..is **NONE OF THE CHURCH'S BUSINESS!!!**

If Southern Baptist church "X" doesn't want to perform some ceremonies, fine...let folks deal with that as a religious matter, but people ARE living together, and we need a simple, plain law covering their rights in an equal manner. It will come...as soon as we explain to all the sanctimonius idiots that it is not hurting THEM, and they don't GET to 'vote' on some issues..
