Cailean,
Do you not feel that freedom for gays to "marry" may not simply result in some of them then shouting "discrimination!" when the Church refuses them.
Let's face it, loads of non-Christian heterosexuals marry in church because it "looks nice."
I do agree that secular law should remain apart, and that the non believer, (as he/she/it always has), should do as he/she/it feels, but I wonder if this doesnt open yet another door toward more Christian liberalism which the Church, (certainly in this country), is very guilty of......
Sometimes I feel that we should voice our views, and not shrink back under a volley of "NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT!!!" shouted in our ears.
What do you say?
