God isn't Perfect

“Hello. I suppose some introductions are in order, though really, you know who I am. I'd tell you my name, but that changes so often it's hard to keep track of it. I have gone by Set, Loki, Lucifer, Satan, and dozens of others. But my title has always been the same.

To all those who wish to protect the sanctity of marriage: the ball is in your court

I have heard many who are opposed to gay marriage say that homosexuals should work to improve civil unions and leave marriage alone. They feel that rather than mess with something they consider to be sacred, homosexuals should make civil unions more equal.
