Your local code must be different because the Indiana Code for marriage doesn't mention anything about Adam and Eve, the Bible, or any such requirement to keep marriage laws biblically acceptable.
My point was that its the same thing, and based on that. Why would they create a law and say "this law is based on the bible: "? Lets not get silly. Law says that marriage is between a man and a woman. The people that founded this country were christians, and for the most part based their laws on those beliefs. Especially marriage.
Stop trying to evangelize your beliefs on others forcefully.
Dude, do not accuse me of that please. In no way do I see what I said above as any sort of "forcing" my beleifs on you. I'm offended by that remark.

I don't hide behind anything. The thought of it makes me physically sick. I can't help that, I'm sorry. I'm not going to tell them they can't do that, or anything else because thats their choice. But I have my right to my opinion and feelings too.
What I dont' get is the whole gay movement thing. I've never had something shoved into my face from so many directions as gay rights. It's one thing to have equal rights, but to market it so that the public will begin to "accept" it feels wrong. We know its there, but we dont' have to be happy about it if we don't want to.
