Is anyone in the same frame of mind as me that believes that if someone doesn't believe in Christ then they have no business getting married before God just to have a church wedding. I was just talking with my work colleague about it and he said that he doesn't go to church a lot, but has to meet the vicar and attend for a few weeks to, I guess 'prove himself' before he gets married. I said why not get married in a mosque or a synangogue then, why a church, he said he's closer to a Christian that a Jew or a Muslim.
I don't get it nor do I like it. You don't see non muslims getting married in a mosque so why does the church allow it. I think some couples ride the coatails of Christianity sometimes to get what they want and that's a wedding with all the frills because it's deemed traditional. I think marriages where the couple are non believers should have a civil ceremony and not get married and take their vows before God. How can you not believe and take your vows before him but you question his exsistence. I don't believe in the Hindu Gods but you don't see me talking about it would be great to have a Hindi Ceremony.
What are other people's take on this?
