“No they can’t, that church “cannot tell the people involved that they are not married outside of that particular churches confines” I didn’t mean the building, I meant outside of the denomination,”

A faith can consider folks married or not no matter where the folks involved consider themselves to be.

“America recognizes their marriage”

America could recognize the moon as being made of blue cheese; it still wouldn’t be.

“Government has never changed on the man woman rule of marriage.”

Yes it has, in certain places and times. If the state happily coincided in it’s definition of marriage with actual marriage at all times folks would be much less likely to accept impossibilities like “gay marriage”.

“Once something is recognized by law as “marriage”, then it would exist, and would be so defined, the word marriage will mean whatever the definition is.”

“Gay marriage”, as recognized and defined by law, cannnot exist, no matter the punishments gubberment can inflict. The folks walking around who are the same sex who have pieces of paper from the state saying that they are married are not married and can never be married.

“The Mormons had an army, and they still could not legalize polygamy in America, and were driven outside of the states, now the homosexuals and the Muslims have the libertarians to fight for them.”

A group of people who consider themselves married without a piece of paper from the state saying they are married are just as married as if they had a piece of paper from the gov’t saying they are married to multiple partners, which is to say not married at all.
