But they are entirely different animals, are they not?
Calling the legalistic, bureaucratic bond "marriage" is putting a relgious term at the mercy of temporal whim.
If this licensed affair were tied to the religious, then we wouldn't have to deal with its perversion into "gay" marriage. TRUE "MARRIAGE" IS MAN AND WOMAN, no matter what your legal definition says.

Logical fallacy. They have different origins and serve different purposes, getting rid of legal marriage won’t ‘give’ it back to the Church, since it never took it ‘away’ from the Church. It will only serve to promote gays and polygamists and further lead to the degradation of society.
And we should keep marriage between a man and a woman -LEGALLY. If we do away with legal marriage then the gays have won.
