So then you assert that the breakdown of the marriage/traditional family is a problem, yet you believe there is no problem with breaking down the marriage/traditional marriage because times have changed? Shouldn't we look more at the problems first? Or more importantly, resolve these problems?

Where did I assert that? When I mentioned that "marriage is not what it used to be?" It isn't. And that is just a prevelant in religious couples as it is in non-religious couples. The reasons behind it may be different in some cases. But just because a couple is married before God does not make them a better couple or a better family.
Since my nana raised me and my sisters and that isn't a traditional family, should we give up the word family? How about single parents?

And are you saying that anyone who is religious is a nut? If some alien religon makes up a word that is important to them, and attaches a ceremony to it, isn't it their right to be annoyed when they land on Earth and humans want to change the ceremony? How about the very definition of the word?

No, I said religious nuts. That is quite different.
So which religious ceremony should be considered a marriage? Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Wiccan, Voodoo, Muslim, Morman, Hindu, Christian, Satanist......I think you get the point.
And how has it been changed? And to what? A Catholic ceremony is still a Catholic ceremony. A Jewish one is still a Jewish one. They don't take anything away from each other. And neither does a civil ceremony.
And what definition of the word? The dictionary? The legal? Mine? Yours? The scientific? A religious one? Which religious one?
