The truth about marriage

Santorum: ‘I’ll die’ to stop same sex marriages | The Raw Story:

This will never make it into the mainstream. But it explains the feelings around same sex marriage. Marriage is a creation of religion. There is no divine authority for it. It is religious intrusion into the civic realm. What we have now is civil unions because of the confusion. We call it marriage but marriage does not exist save as an idea. If we simply accepted that what we call marriages are civil unions and if religion would be gracious enough to make marriage a voluntary act of interpretation, a non legal ceremony, instead of shilling for the state, all might be better and Rick would not have to kill himself needlessly.
