Isn't government you and I?
Why can't we sanction marriage?
Do you understand Natural Law?
Natural Law has always been applicable in the state-sanctioning of marriage. Why isn't Natural Law applicable here?
Do you realize the Founding Fathers ALL believed in the application of Natural Law?
Have you been zotted/banned before and now rejoined FR under a new name?
Will you answer all these questions honestly?
It is you and I, and all in this thread, and - unfortunately - that gay couple in Maine. It is all of us. And we all have equal voice - that is how the system was set up.
Why can't we sanction marriage?
We can, as long as that sanctioning is kept in line with the Biblical foundation on which it is based. Once Government moves away from that, then it is no longer marriage. It is a Government-recognized union, it is a party, it may be some pronouncement - but it is NOT marriage. Even if Government tries to call it the same.
Do you understand Natural Law?
Yes I do.

Does Natural Law allow gay marriage? No? Then why can Government call and sanction gay marriage, "marriage"? What Government is sanctioning is NOT marriage in any way as defined in Natural Law. Thus I refuse to cede the word marriage, and all it encompasses, to Government.
Do you realize the Founding Fathers ALL believed in the application of Natural Law?
Yes, as do I. And I do not believe they would condone or accept gay marriage at all. They would call it abhorrent and evil, and NOT marriage as God intended. It would not be marriage.
Have you been zotted/banned before and now rejoined FR under a new name?
Nope. Been lurking for about 6 months before I joined.
Will you answer all these questions honestly?
Already did. Now will you answer some of mine?
1. Why should Government get to dictate what is marriage?
2. Why should a marriage only be proper if Government accepts it?
3. Should the church accept a marriage of a gay couple, just because the Government says that marriage consists of gay couples?
4. Why should we leave an institution to the hands of Government if Government will misuse and pervert that institution?
Will you answer all these questions honestly?
