by William Murchison
Marriage isn't just the chief underpinning of society or, for that matter, a raunchy comedy routine. In the minds of easily the great majority of Americans, marriage is an institution reflective of divine intent concerning human relationships and duties.

Why are religious conservatives so determined to set up ethical road-blocks to people that are not like themselves? Why are they so twisted up about legal actions that don't concern them, but that may be of great benefit to others?
What would Jesus do? Like Harry Potter's recently-outed Professor Dumbledore, I think that Jesus would like to know there was a little more love in the world. I think he'd recommend a feast, or maybe even a big gay wedding reception.
