Sure, but doesn't it also say something about stoning a woman to death if she isn't a virgin when she gets married, and the same punishment if you commit adultery? Better stock up on the rocks then.

So if happen to not have a religion, does that mean I can't get married? In my opinion that is correct, you can't. Why would you want to? You can get Civil Unionised. The word shouldn't matter if it carries no religious meaning. Seperation of Church and State remember, apparently thats a one way road in Canada, this can't continue. You got it.. Geez that will be fun...drop to one knee, bring out the ring, and say " will you civally unionize with me?" I'd like to see you tell my wife that she isn't married So if you get married in a church, then your married, otherwise you enter a civil union. Does it matter which church? Can I go to a temple? How about in the forest with the druids? Oh, wait a sec, thats more nature than god. What if I believe in the flying spaghetti monster? (http://www.venganza.org/) does this count as marriage? Maybe we should stop this nonsense, agree that if two consenting adults love and are committed to each other, that should be enough. Does it really matter to you that much that 2 men get married and are entitled to the same things you are? Aren't there much more seious issues to expend our energy on?

I've been married for 7 years now, we got married by a JP, and I'm offended that anyone would think that my marriage has anything to do with religion. We're raising our daughter with good morals and values, despite religion. I personally believe organized religion is responsible for more bloodshed, hatred and intolerance than any other factor. How about worrying about yourself and your marriage and letting others do the same? Jay
