The obvious mistake here is Law versus religion!
There is no reason for the court to be taking up religion!
Marriage was never a right applied to the constitution!
Marriage is a word and is defined not by law but by man!
The obvious end result is for the court is to strike the word marriage from all unions as law and precept them as a civil union!
Marriage will then only be a term for the religious that belive in the true form of Marriage and not tied in any way to the Federal Government!
Goverenment was never designed to even approach the term Marriage! It is a term, nothing more. But is reserved for the devine union of two, a man and a woman! If the High Court can find a precedent where two people of same sex were married in our history before the argument was presented more power to them! I personally feel, Adam may have married the snake by mistake!
Marriage will then only be a term for the religious that belive in the true form of Marriage and not tied in any way to the Federal Government!
While it is the logical end, it is highly unlikely that it will be the actual end. Like you, I would prefer that the government only be involved in civil unions and leave the rest to the Church. However, that is not what the SSM lobby wants. Ultimately it is not about civil unions for them. It is about forcing the Church, through the law, to approve of their unions—to have the Church bestow the blessing of God upon their union and call it a true marriage.
They can start with the tax forms. No more Married Filing Jointly/Separately categories.

This is about human biology, PLUS a group of people who wish to pervert everything they can lay their dirty grimy hands on and degrade the rest of the human race down to their slimy (Can you say - perverted) level of life.
