Was not so much about saving the world as it was about living in harmony with it and the people on it.
It's about saying that it fine to be a Christian, just as it is fine to not be one. It's about not thinking my way is the only way.
I feel marriage is a promise. A promise to stand together, to trust, to laugh and cry together, to face the future together.
I feel that those who abuse, cheat, etc. are breaking that promise. I also feel it is morally wrong as it breaks the rule of 'just as long as you don't hurt anyone.'
But I don't feel they have the power to make a mockery of marriage, and they certainly don't have the power to make a mockery of *my* marriage.
And neither does any government.
