It's all moot anyway.
There are many Christian churches that support, sanction and perform same sex marriages. (My own main-stream church is one of them.)
The Reformed Jewish sect (the largest sect of Jews in the U.S.) and the Conservative branch of Judaism both support and sanction and perform same sex marriages (the only Jews that are anti-gay are those in the Orthodox faith).
There are also many religious scholars and ancient religion scholars who have shown that some of the anti-gay statements in the Bible are the result of mistranslation (often INTENTIONAL mistranslation due to political agendas at the time).
King James was actually fighting a gay brother who was a student of fortune-telling for his throne at the time the King James translation was being written. Think any of those scriptures about homosexuals and/or witches, fortune tellers, soothsayers, etc. had any hidden agendas? LOL
It's all so so so silly.
