God made Adam, he saw that he should not be alone and so put him into a deep sleep and took a rib out of him and made Woman. Man And Woman are the match.
If you rely on your religion as the source of your morality, do you also endorse drowning children (Gen. 7:21-22), waging ideological wars of attrition (Deut. 20:16-17), stoning disobedient sons (Deut. 21:18-21), owning slaves (Lev. 25:44-46), keeping virginal war prisoners and massacring the rest (Num. 31:17-18), executing rape victims if they don't cry out (Deut. 22:23-24), and hating our own family (Lk 14:26) in the name of God?
Do you also support revoking equal rights for women because Lev. 27:3-7 says that they are worth less than men?
Besides all that, America is not a theocracy. There are religious groups that believed cripples are criminals being punished for misdeeds on other planets, should we quote dubious ancient scriptures that advocate suppression for the cripples? Unless you can demonstrate why we should follow an ancient book written 2000 years ago, our government will remain secular.

Then should we also illegalize marriage for sterile couples? Why do we need more babies in this world anyway?
QUOTE
That's the way it should work.
Why? Because that's how it happens in nature?

However, they really shouldn't give out Marriage Licenses to gays. The definition of Marriage is: Man and Woman become family.
Argument from tradition. Let's try a little reducto ad absurdism.

The definition of Marriage is: white Man and white Woman become family. Well, if these people of different race really are desperate and want to bond in some sort of way, fine. But they shouldn't use the word "marriage." More like... "Unity" or something; anything but "marriage."
