Let's start a religion and call it sasema...

[Fridays Child]

...wherein the institution of same sex marriage is revered. Anyone who either wishes to be a partner in a same sex marriage or who supports same sex marriage can join. One rule: all unions between consenting adults are holy. Specifically, marriage would not be defined as a union only between a man and a woman or even as a union only between two people.

If the fundies insist on inserting religion into civil matters, let's turn religion on its head.

1. Actually this is not a bad idea...

because it takes away their power......and that my friend is what it is all about...

8. Yes, because it neutralizes their argument, in a way.

In Christianity, marriage is a sacrament, right? So, it's a sacrament in sasema, as well. And it's not good to mess with anything that a given religion considers holy. They don't have to like it or agree with it but they have to respect it--in theory, anyway. Regardless, it sort of exposes the arbitrary nature of their "rules."

7. LOL! Yes. A place where a visit from Buster would always be welcome.

3. Well, I say a marriage is a union between two people...

No sexual act between consenting adults is immoral provided it does not break a promise made to another. If a couple wants to engage in swinging, great. If both parties value sexual fidelity, that is their decision.

4. Although, to be fair, many denominations already feel that way.

Liberal Christian Churches, Unitarians, lots of Reform Judaism congregations, etc. I've been to gay and lesbian weddings in churches, even though the state don't recognize 'em.

I'm not a member of any organized religion (unless you're one of those asshats who tries to insist atheism is a "religion") but I do think it's fair to point that fact out. If you want a faith that accepts and reveres same sex unions between consenting adults, you don't need to start a new one- they do exist.
