Finally I wrote down my reaction instead of meaning to but never getting around to it!

I just read the Newsweek article on Gay Marriage (which you can look up should you wish to read it-I’m too lazy to post the little blue thing here). While the author poses several interesting argument, in my ever humble (*cough*) opinion, like so many others he has completely missed the point once again

This is a tricksy subject and I am only going to comment on a few items

I am always thrilled to get a reply from you, especially one of such great length! You know my nearly endless passion for debate. Tragically I am not as passionate towards biblical criticism, though in Sunday school I used to rock games of biblical trivia

Regardless, my point remains. There are many things which various religions consider sinful which we do no prohibit by law. I personally feel that Christians who want to say that god is fine with homosexuality are trying a little too hard. Then again, I am not that impressed with Christians that recognize remarriage (except where the first marriage was dissolved due to unfaithfulness). We should separates in our minds and in our cultural the legalities of marriage and the sacrament of marriage.
I do actually like wedding ceremonies-I just really don’t like having to plan them (plus you really, honestly don’t remember yours as much as any other). I am completely in favor of you having a fabulous wedding though and would be devastated if you eloped-like I said, weddings are for your friends and family, and we want a party!
