woodfaceFound this remark somewhere on lj: "Marriage is defined by God, not by Man."
I really suggest that said persons who use this type of banner look up the actual history of marriage (which I should do myself too). Sure, church made it their own but marriage is not something typical to christianity. The evolutions in marriage in christianity have shifted as well. I think this is very much a thing made by man and not by god.
Yes, I'm still here and kinda too nervous to do anything. EEEEEEEEEEEE!

And if one of the first events described there involving human beings in any way is a marriage, and it's pretty much described as "hey, let's make this smart critter and then make him a wife," well, that constitutes God making marriage.
I'm so not saying I agree with that view. But understanding it isn't as hard as we sometimes think.
