"Since God created marriage, only he has the authority to change it," the Reverend Duane Motley told marriage-equality opponents at a rally on Tuesday in Albany, N.Y.

Reminds me of the phrase
You can't Box with God.
It's annoying when conservatives pull out this tactic.
And it is a tactic. Never mind that not everyone believes in the bible or is a Christianity, and that our nation has civil marriage and separation between church and state.
(thank you Zeus!)
I guess this means- according to Rev Motely's twisted logic- that atheist's, since they don't believe in God,
have no business marrying.
You are is so much trouble Rick!
HOWEVER, as a resident of NYC, I can tell you that the coup that recently took place in the State Senate here in NY has everyone wondering what is going to happen with the gay marriage bill currently in play. My sense?
It's a matter of when, not if. NY is going to have gay marriage. In my lifetime. And the Rev. Motely's of the world are simply going to have to face to deal with that.
Minds are changing. Here is one worth reading.
