“Marriage has always been defined in the Judeo/Christian world, in America, marriage has always been defined as between a man and a woman, and it has always been limited to that, it has never been open to individual definition.”
That’s true. But in many faiths, a piece of paper from the state doesn’t necessarily mean two people are really married, even if they are a man and a woman.
“Now that libertarianism/leftism has led to a splintering, and breakdown of American culture...”
I would say that is a result of relying on gubberment to protect, administer, and define things like charity, education and the institution of marriage.

Not sure what the purpose of that post was, a church can have it’s own internal rules about not recognizing a marriage within their church, but they cannot tell the people involved that they are not married outside of that particular churches confines, a church also cannot change marriage from a man and woman, and supersede government laws in regards to limits on marriage, such as in age, number of partners, etc.
If anything, it proves that you can’t let individual churches define legal marriage, because today that would mean absolute chaos and every definition possible under the sun, which of course means that the word marriage would become useless. Someone could say “married” and we would not know anything about what that word meant, 1 person? 12? how many sexes?, animals?
As far as government growth, it seems to parallel a libertarian/liberal imposition of immorality, immigration and libber/liberal social deconstruction of our culture and community.
