As I grew up and began identifying myself as a feminist, there were plenty of issues that continued to make me question marriage: the father 'giving' the bride away, women taking their husband's last name, the white dress, the vows promising to 'obey' the groom. And that only covers the wedding.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn't believe and doesn't seek the faith.
