It wouldn't bother me in the least if the government got completely out of the marriage business.

As far as I am concerned the Holy Bible says nothing about going to the state department and getting a license.
The feds have thrown that in the lake and we the people have swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.
Signing that paper gives gov.org the right interfer at a later date, just like birth certificates and social security numbers give them the right to meddle in your childrens affairs.
If gov.org makes sodomy the equal of a man and a woman being married then all bible believers should refuse to obtain a license and go back to a more biblical approach to marriage.
Before you know it the BALS (barnyard animal lover society) will want a license to marry their goat. And our gov.org in the finite wisdom will grant them one.
