[FortyTwo]

Yes, I'm very aware thats how your novel goes. However marriage pre-dates the creation of Christianity. These facts raise my questions regarding Christianity governing a practice that pre-dates it.

Furthermore; why should another American of an alternative religion to your own submit to your own legislated beliefs regarding the practice of marriage.

To be honest; they shouldn't. Marriage should be available to all that desire it. Irrespective of Race, Beliefs and Sexuality.

It won't affect you anyway; how does your neighbours relationship affect your own? It doesn't. Be a cool Christian and let them do their thing.
