>>>Aside from making sure I don’t marry my sister, or first cousin, I can find no reason for the state to be involved at all.
My priest ordained my marriage. Not my mayor.<<<
Other than preventing you from marrying close relatives or multiple people at the same time or people of the same sex, and handling divorces, all government really does is register marriages, so that the parties of the marriage have proof for legal and tax purposes.
The argument that “government should get out of the marriage business” is false argument becasue government really isn’t in the marriage business any more than it is in the real estate business when it registers property deeds.
they use that sticker slogan to ushh that agenda within our party and use our convention and websites using that sticker slogan.
Remember when in the 20’s the elft wanted beer etc to be banned and used religion to get the right to sign on , well they;re now using noGovt in this to try and infiltrate our message and stance
BINGO!
Now if some say that the courts or judges should not be marrying people and that is the government's involvement in marriage that should be cut off - I'm ok with that because there are plenty of mail-order reverends or captains of ships that will marry for a nominal fee.
“government really isn’t in the marriage business any more than it is in the real estate business when it registers property deeds.”
And that’s precisely the problem. Marriage is a religious practice and yet you think it’s no different than a property deed. The LGBT community agrees with you!
