    Marriage predates all modern religions. I see no reason to cede it to tyrannical puritans.

      Right because marriage isn’t about religion, it’s about property. It’s about who owns what and who gets what when someone dies. One could point out the historical aspect of men literally owning their wives, and some people (assholes) certainly still want that, but these days it’s all about money. Marriage is a way for rich people to make sure they get to hold onto their partners wealth, even in the event of a divorce or death. It’s a tool of capitol, forced on the rest of us by the leaching class. We certainly don’t need it to love each other. No war but class war.
