But who knows, it's my word against his, in other words yet another court case.
Well, you won't tell us with you, because you seem to think you don't have to justify your point of view
Millions more would agree with me
What's that supposed to mean? Or are you reduced to snide backbiting remarks now?
Not any more than anyone should have to justify their religious beliefs, not.
Seeing as the new legislation wouldn't affect or concern them at all, I doubt they give much of a shit.
It means that you appear to be diametrically opposed to any legislation that "undermines" the value of marriage, or are otherwise completely close-minded to the concept that cohabitating couples should have the same rights and responsibilities as other couples.
And as for snide remarks, I suggest you look at your own efforts for the last few days.
2. This is a legal procedure I fail to see what this has to do with a religion
3. Except they'd all have to go sign opt-out forms wouldn't they.
4. "undermines" right, like civil ceremonies that mean that marriage has nothing to do with God wouldn't be undermining things from my perspective would it.
1. We obviously disagree about that point.
2. Marriage has far more significance than just a simple legal procedure.
A death sentence is a simple legal procedure. A divorce is a simple legal procedure. Authorising euthanasia would be a simple legal procedure. Do you think they are meaningless too?
3. Er... no they wouldn't. Unless they are in a long term relationship with each other and they wanted to opt out.
4. You don't have to be religious to be pro-marriage and to want to protect marriage from procedures that would undermine it. And I haven't said this- Kentish did.
