[quote=Anonymous]We distinguish God from all other gods by the capital letter. Why not also distinguish those marriages consecrated by Him as Marriages. The First Amendment protects the right of clergy to determine whom they Marry, but marriage, as a legal contract between adults, should have no discriminatory restrictions on the basis of race, gender, nationality, or any of the standard protected classifications. This would have the virtue of distinguishing between civil unions and religious unions without requiring that laws be rewritten or that a new classification be created that might or might not have all the legal benefits of marriage. When a couple is Married, they are thereby recognized as married, just as now, but they can get married without getting Married, just as now. The only difference is that those who believe that the Court has no right to define Marriage can be comforted by the fact that they were only dealing with marriage.[/quote]
