Christians, how do you feel about the Christian coalition fighting the CA gay marriage ruling?

Marriage started by religious people thousands of years ago. Legislature saw a profit in it and decided to regulate it and charge people. It is NOT a civil definition. Marriage was defined from the beginning between a man and a woman. Now gay people want the tax relief and other benefits that married people get. Call it a civil union then. But don't tell churches they are mandated to have gays marry in the church. That's is what the Christians don't want being mandated to do what the law says. Funny how separation of Church and State is good one way but not the other.
