BTW It was in response to Lucky4043's definition. Why don't you respond ?
Respond to what? Religion doesn't own a monopoly on what encompasses morality.
Immoral is the opposite of moral and there should be little reason that we base all societal morality around only religious principles. Very large parts of our society don't follow the bible so it makes sense that their definitions of morality get to meld into what becomes socially acceptable.
I've asked a many times why its absolutely necessary for government to regulate marriage at all and have yet to get an answer. There doesn't seem to be a single problem that can't be solutioned privately without government intervention and IMO therein lies the answer. Conservative Christians don't want to see gays enjoy marriage for religious reasons... yet being conservative by nature should also promote small government right? So why not make everyone happy by just getting the government the hell out of marriage all together?
Then... private churches/ministers can decide whether or not they want to marry two men or two goats and it won't affect anyone.
Marriage is something that doesn't need to be regulated by the government. Its that simple, and yet... we instead get a bunch of people pissed off fighting for rights that shouldn't be regulated anyway.
