Government regulation of marriage is really just church dogma,
legitimized at the point of a government gun. That is how we got to
outlawing gay marriage in the first place.

I agree with ths completely.

Why? You think marriages should be conducted by lawyers?
There's +1100 gov laws that take marital status into consideration.
You want that all changed, as Greg appears to want?
That's just radical libertarianism.
The only question at hand now in DOMA is whether it violates equal
protection. Of course it does. It was discriminatory and
unconstitutional from the getgo. Nothing new either. Laws and actions
denying equal protection to blacks, women, Japanese-Americans come to
mind. Those were also corrected.
