New Jersey congress may have a better idea...
...which is to satisfy a court order allowing same-sex commitments to have the same benefits of marriage commitments without calling it "marriage." Finally, someone is recognizing tha a Christian marriage is different from a Mormon marriage or an Islamic marriage.

Homosexual acts are condemned in the Christian Bible and religious groups who support, endorse, and perform ceremonies for such people are in violation of the Bible.
...Read the article for yourself. Same-sex couples are engaging in sinful behavior if they are being intimate and why would they want to make such a public commitment, if they were remaining celibate? Why do they want the approval of the church, or Christianity, or any other religious entity? Don't they just want the tax breaks associated with marriage? Give them the tax breaks, but don't condone the sinful behavior.
