In today's society, there has been a a lot of hubbubs about gay marriages. Gay couples are protesting and doing demonstrations at courthouses. Miss California loosing her crown for stating her beliefs. The government is putting bans on it in some states. Others refuse to come to any kind of stand. Well, I have one stand for you guys, I don't think its up to the government.
Marriage is an institution created by God, to exist between a man and a woman. So considering that marriage is considered a religious ceremony that is supposed to take place before the eyes of God, government shouldn't have a say. And for those who live an alternative lifestyle and want to get legally shackled to another person, that's another thing, but it should not be called marriage. In my opinion, this is the perfect time for the government to exercise the Separation of church and state. Man's law should never super cede God's Law.
So, it should also be understood, that you shouldn't expect churches to go against their spiritual beliefs in order to not seem bigoted. I have no problem with gay couples getting legally bound together, just call it something else. Gay couples don't want their rights to be infringed upon, so they shouldn't try to infringe upon other rights to their beliefs. Not everyone who is against gay marriage is a bigot, they should really keep that in mind.
So what do you guys think of the whole gay marriage issue? How do you think, this should be resolved? (This is not for gay bashing) Please give well thought out alternative solutions.
