The purpose of gay ‘marriage’ is to destroy Christianity.

First, get ‘marriage’ as a state-sanctioned label.
Second, find a church that won’t ‘marry’ a gay couple.
Third, take that church to court for breaking the law.

You’re right. And by removing the government from the marriage business, it becomes a completely private, religious thing, and as far gone as we are in this country, any attempt to force churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, etc. to offer a religious ceremony to anyone would obviously be a violation of the freedom of religion that even this Supreme Court would overturn.

Let’s face it... Marriage, as defined by Jews and Christians, has been absent from our legal system for 50 years. What we have is serial polygamy. The benefits of marriage for raising healthy children are beyond question. However, the law has been violating these principles for so long that there’s no way to put horse back in the barn.

The only thing we can do is to make marriage a completely private, religious affair, and to rebuild the concept of marriage as a lifelong commitment that one man and one woman make to each other. Then, perhaps after we’ve rebuilt that idea (after several generations, perhaps) there will be sufficient cultural support to reintroduce the civil aspects of marriage.

I’m in a rush and not developing my ideas very well, I know, but let’s not just assume it’s a crazy idea.
