No, but if "You (bleep) my wife--I kill you" is no longer allowed, what alternative is there? IMHO, a big part of the problem is that marriage is often seen as being a creation of government and/or religion, and thus being amenable to their terms. Conservatives need to take up the argument that since neither government nor religion created marriage, neither can change its fundamental nature. It is what it is.
I guess I’m not getting where you are coming from. To me, the religious element in marriage is all I care about, a piece of paper from the gubberment doesn’t make someone married. The only way I can see that I might be forced to recognize something that my faith teaches is impossible, like “gay marriage”, is if the gubberment is involved.
Revenging yourself violently upon anyone for any reason is illegal, isn’t it? Or am I very possibly missing something?
