- Interracial? Let's discuss same sex marriage. It's a controversial issue in the US and recently I heard that not only do they want to legalize it, they are demanding the church to accept it as well. Anyway, I presume that argument goes as follows:

Religion gives marriage a spiritual meaning but in the eyes of the law it is a mere contract. For example, if one dies, the other inherits. So with the separation of religion from state, marriage will become nothing more than a binding document. Therefore, if it is nothing more than a contract, then there's no reason why it should be between a man and woman.

If that is true... if they legalize gay marriage on the basis that marriage is just a contract, then why should this contract between two person only? Why not 20? Or 100? Why do they prevent the Mormons (or whatever) and Muslim Americans from having multiple partners?
