[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be all for a system where you go down to town hall and get a civil marriage and that's what counts for all your official govt documents and then you do whatever you/your religion wants as far as a private ceremony.

If you think about it, it's really a little bizarre that if someone sets up an online church they can then make people ministers eligible to marry people. [/quote]
OP here, and that's what I was aiming at.  I was hoping to achieve it without having to change any laws, by promoting the idea of having those who believe that a marriage sanctified by God must be between a man and a woman call such a marriage a Marriage, allowing them to accept that a mere marriage, carried out under secular law or by some church with more liberal policies, can be whatever the law or that other church defines.  I want to make it even easier by continuing to accept any church's Marriage as a fully legal marriage, just like now, not requiring a separate civil ceremony -- as long as you have a civil license.[/quote]

The capitalization idea is strange and is derailing the thread.  If you really want to separate civil and religious marriage we could discuss that, but it's not clear to me you really want to do that anyway, so maybe the thread should stay off the rails.[/quote]
