you're still drawing that line...
I'm fine with you sticking to your guns on that singular religious definition of marriage. It's about the only thing the church has that distinguishes marriage in the church vs marriage in non-sectarian society.
But given the evolution of society, don't be surprised when the church (and some already have) start evolving with the rest of society.
If religion is worried about why people are turning less and less to the church, they may want to take a look at their failure to adapt and how it alienates their followers.
People don't need to feel damned if they don't agree with a belief. People need to start living good lives looking out for their fellow man.

Well, you're kinda right in the straight civil union thing. Marriage I still think should involve a celebration of a person's faith and their union should be blessed by their faith in (insert diety here).
As for people leading good lives looking out of their fellow man, religious people do that all the time even though the people they help are of different faith or have no faith at all.
My point is that homosexual marriage crosses the line from civil union to faith based union aka marriage.
