God created man.
God created woman.
God created the union between them.
God , and God alone, as creator of humans, defines their relationships, and the union is called marriage.
You have the privilege, Shawn, of allowing secular humanist socities to define your terms, your morals, and even your religion if you wish.
You can claim to be a Christian and deny the existence of Jesus Christ Himself. There are some people who do that.
But if you are going to conduct a Christian discussion with Christians, then God needs to define our terms, not secular society.

To call a same-sex union a "marraige" implies that it has God's approval, sanction, and all moral/spiritual/
Therefore, since GOd defines marriage as one man and one woman, gay marriage does not exist.
Secular humanist society does not define my terms.
