I am also a "Conservative Christian". I am not condoning nor am I supporting Gay Marriage. I am simply stating that it is none of the federal governments concern. I am for state bans on gay marriage, I live in Texas we passed the ban last November as have many other states.

And If you read my other posts you will see that I support a Federal Ban, but only if the SCOTUS or some other nefarious agent of the Federal Government tries to find some new "Right" to Gay Marriage like MASS. did. I support a ban then because it would be constraining the Federal Government and preventing it from abusing its constitutionally limited power.

The last thing we need is the Federal Government acting like a Divine King legislating what it feels is best. I know you know as well as I do that the federal government is not a holy entity and would do far more evil then any good it might consider.

Ok, I see where you're coming from, but I believe that we're already at the breaking point, as another reply pointed out in the "Full Faith and Credit" clause. I am not enough of a Constitutional scholar to make a call on whether or not that would prevail over the Defense of Marriage Act, but it is worrisome that it is even a possibility.

Read up on how an amendment is passed and becomes part of the US Constitution. It can hardly be described as "the Federal Government acting like a Divine King legislating what it feels is best."

An amendment to the US Constitution is impossible without the over-whelming support of the states, no Federal fiat, no Divine King. Nice hyperbole, but completely inaccurate.
