It strikes me that this is a civil matter as we don’t live in a theocracy. There is a state’s interest in allowing and encouraging arrangements that produce future citizens and keep the accounting reasonably straight regarding who is related to who. We’ve all grown pretty silly indeed if we forget this basic fact.

We are to some degree modeled on Rome, and while it appears there were gay marriages, it also appears they didn’t go down the road of political correctness. No my friend, if a Roman was butt hurt you can bet there were bruises to show for it.

Whether or not we play soup nazi with baked goods is not a Christian thing really, it is a Libertarian thing, but there are too few of them around to hope to prevail fighting their own battles. They do seem to have a very high opinion of themselves, however, and so it is no wonder if they try to use as dupes people they regard as superstitious. Being a Christian, I am far too used to this drill :(

The real fight is in not blurring the line between Church and State, we don’t want to set the stage for politicians to be able to demand that heretics be brought on as Church leaders.

It’s not “playing Soup Nazi”. That’s a liberal talking point.

You either have free exercise of religion or you don’t have any exercise of religion.
