Austin...you are among "the few, the proud"...the people who ask the RIGHT questions! Why do we put marriage in the civil sphere at all? (It originated from the ungodly marriage of Church and State and amounts to nothing more than a form of  control over the way individuals "pursue happiness").  We don't want the State meddling in our religious affairs...until it suits our desire to control others to have it that way.
