Guess what? You got me wrong here. I said "some day" and not "soon." Personally, I believe the "soon" came from your own beliefs, but that will lead to the same useless debate, so I'll drop that. My comment was that in the time between "soon" and "some day" we need to come up with a less divisive solution which doesn't threaten us with open floodgates for religious groups which consider this some kind of "mandate" or "sanction" to impose their other ideas on the country as a whole.
