Most religions recognise marriage as being instituted by God and sanctified by God and they respect it as being for one man and one woman. Most religions would also find homosexual marriage highly offensive.

It is certainly ironic Russ that anybody else, outside of God's moral laws, would be interested in marriage - since they are living completely outside of anything remotely connected to sanctity and the communion between a man and a woman. They most certainly make a mockery of the natural law, marriage and moral codes.

Most religions respect morality and marriage. Even if they are not within the Christian faith. They have their own ceremony within their own religion.

Try getting homosexual marriage instituted by those other religions Let's see how far they would get trying to push and mix an abomination into the sanctified bond between a man and a woman. I know some atheists who find homosexuality unnatural and sick. Even they, without God, still recognise that all of nature (with few exceptions) dictates male to female. the sexual act is a gift, it is pleasurable, but also designed for procreation and bonding between man and wife. It should never be degraded/abused, nor perverted. Those supporting the marriage of such perversion will surely answer to the God that gave us such a gift in the first place.
