I’ve been reading your pretzel logic for advocating for gay marriage.

Then you can read, but not comprehend - I do NOT support gay marriage as marriage is an institution before God.

IMHO - the government should never have begun recognizing "marriage" as it has been used ever since, by the government, to exert power over the people in ways the government should NOT be allowed to do. If anything, the government need only provide for a legal foundation where two individuals can enter into a contractual agreement.

My promise to my wife, before God, needs no sanction of the government to make it valid. My contractual obligations to a partner, while morally binding, needs no sanction from God to make it valid. God provides sanctions for my breaking a promise made before him. The government provides for sanctions when breaking a contract under its jurisdiction.

The extremist homosexual activists stand up and cheer when they hear your position espoused. Literally. I’ve seen it.

Natural marriage is the bedrock societal, governmental, and economic institution of our entire civilization. Destroy it and the whole edifice falls down. Every time.

Expat wants to eliminate marriage altogether, except in churches which he has no use for anyway.

I wonder why he wants this.
