With same-sex marriage now legal in California, people of faith are renewing a passionate debate over whether homosexuality is sanctioned by God.
Christians, Jews and Muslims on both sides of the issue cite the holy writings of their religions. Some note that the Bible depicts man-lying-with-man as an "abomination," while others say it speaks of God's love for all people created in his image.
Both sides defend their positions with the zeal of the biblical warriors who inhabit their scriptures.

Religious and Civil marriages are not necessarily the same thing.
All persons regardless of gender or sexual orientation should enjoy equal rights under the law. This includes marriage which is primarily a legal contract concerned with the management of property.
Religious marriages follow a different set of customs and it is for each Religion to set the customs and practices that are acceptable under its theology.
