<p>You guys need to stop playing the religion card with marriage. “Marriage” has been around for tens of thousands of years. Before Christianity and Judaism. It was around even during times of paganism. So don’t give me this talk about marriage is tied to religion.</p>
<p>Churches don’t give marriage certificates. Governments do, so your argument about civil unions is severely flawed.</p>
<p>Second, you definitely do not have to be religious to get married. Are we to suddenly tell the 1 billion Chinese that they can’t marry because they are atheist? Oh wait, at least they have some guts for simply stating that gay marriage would be against tradition and that gays shouldn’t have equal rights. </p>
<p>But you guys hide behind this veil of religion, always trying to tie marriage with religion simply because your parents and family members have marriage ceremonies performed by priests and in churches. Get over yourself.</p>
<p>But wait… You social conservatives simply will not admit that because if you do, you’ll know that you nothing more than bigots hiding behind religion.</p>
