[One11's signature line]I'm sorry, but the words marriage belong to the Christian religions, as do the words husband (a male) and a wife (a woman), and gay marriage is an infringement of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Need more info on how the words marriage, husband and wife belong to the Christian religions, just send me an IM and I'll be happy to answer you.
I stand for freedom of speech, and tolerance is a two-way street.

The word marriage is by no means tied to Christianity, nor is the idea of people being on married.
The words "husband" and "wife" are not tied to Christianity.
Gay marriage is not an infringement of the 1st amendment. BANNING gay marriage on religious grounds, however, IS.

You've found an amazing theological proof, but this .signature is too small to contain it? SCIENTIST! BURN HIM!!!!

And there's a giant traffic jam forming behind you for some reason. Speed up, moron.
Marriage, from Latin "maritatus", used throughout Roman republic for centuries before Christian Era.
Husband, from the Norse "hus bondi" meaning head of the household (literally "house dweller", hence the ancient equivalent of "the occupant"), introduced into English by pagan Norsemen.
Wife, from the old High German "wib" or possibly Norse "vif", another pagan word and found in various forms throughout pagan Europe long before its adoption of Christianity.
And it would break the first ammendment to limit these words to religiously sanctioned uses.
So, fail on all counts.
Your religion cannot copyright words, you certainly can't copyright words that exist before your religion.
People are documented as married(pharohs, kings, conquerors) before the Torah appeared. You know the Torah? That book that came way before your first Christian Bible. No? Your Old Testament?
Dictionary definition:
Use marriage in a Sentence
Read it, learn it, live it.
