I think it depends on how the individual views marriage. Some have expressed in this thread that they view it as purely a legal definition - thus there are no religious and/or moral connection for them. Some people see marriage strictly in a religious sense. Me? I fall somewhere in between. I see the legal and the moral/religious issues, but I tend to favor more towards the moral / religious side.

I was hoping that, Christian-to-Christian, you might shed some light on it for me. If you're tired of explaining yourself, ok.

I think it just depends on how one defines marriage with respect to their religion. You have some religious folks who do not believe in mixed marriages -Catholics and non-Catholics, Christian and Jews.
And yeah, I am getting tired of explaining the same thing I've been saying since page 10 of this thread. I think people keep trying to go at it from different angles hoping to get a different answer.
