What France has done is to create a sort of civil registry that takes on many of the responsibilities and legal bindings of marriage without involving the church. It allows marriage to remain defined as it had been in the past, while providing state sanction for other arrangements, even, apparently, for just friends.

Does it ever seem to anyone else that perhaps the bounds of healthy Christian principals are being pushed for the sole purpose of seeing how far they CAN be pushed? Like some sort of sick game for the Libs? I'm saddened by this decision, but almost want to recluse into a corner and ignore the world when I see where this is leading us. I would also like to point out that in the Good Book, incest, bestiality, sacraficing your children, and HOMOSEXUALITY are all listed together as "Wickedness" and "Detestable" (Leviticus ch. 18). Those are followed immediately in ch. 19 by "Do not lie" and "Do not steal". Hmmm, sound like a familiar argument many of us have used?
