More power too u but don't change the definition of something to its opposite. Can't go outside and decide u want to call night day and day night..
And this is completely different from church thinking black and white shouldn't be together back in the day... Trust me there are stupid people every where but just because someone does something dumb and say they are christians doesn't mean they are really operating in God's will. But just my 2 cents
So you're pretty much saying that the christian faith is the supreme authority over all religions' definition of marriage? Do you think the states shouldn't recognize anything but christian marriage, regardless of the actual religion of the participants? The bible also says ONE man and ONE woman, so technically, divorce-remarriage should be just as forbidden/unrecognized. What are your thoughts on that? Do you think it's ok for christians to essentially "cherry pick" which verses they want to enforce as law, when the bible puts the same emphasis on all of it?

And for the record, interracial marriage opposition was also biblically motivated, so, yes, it's the exact same thing. Lol. The church had to turn the other cheek on that definition so it could remain relevant, which will happen in time for homosexual marriage, if they want to continue to be relevant.

And for the record, according to the tenets of christianity, anyone professing to believe in the abrahamic god, and that Jesus Christ is the son of this god, and has been baptized as such, is a christian. There is no other official qualification/disqualification process
