Therefore we should not have accepted our "thirty pieces of silver" in exchange for control over marriage. As soon as we let Caesar define marriage it was inevitable that polygamy, polyandry, bestiality, pedophilia and all manner of perversion sanctioned by the state were sure to follow.

These abominations occur with or without marriage, now we will be forced to accept them rather than having these acts being crimes.

Perverts vote too and form a powerful lobby for they have a powerful backer.

I repeat, we should have followed the Word.

Your view of government is one whereas it seems to me that you have no belief at all in ‘representative government’. You speak as if laws regarding marriage where negotiated between government and the people and not that the people were represented in the making of the law. You speak of receiving ‘thirty pieces of silver’, which again is a view of government whereas you see no ‘right to representation’ at all but instead see government as being a series of negotiations.

Follow the word all that you want but it still doesn’t relieve you of your responsibilities of managing the affairs of community and survival in the world. Governments will always be the means of engaging these issues in a responsible manner.

Your view is to withdraw because you seem to have some delusion that if you use government for good (such as defining marriage and promoting it) that you are then opening the door for the bad (perversion and corruption and crime). I though believe that it is your withdrawal that is what brought upon these problems to begin with. It is your libertarian philosophy that teaches to not judge evil as evil and to just keep your religion to yourself (do not try to promote or legislate it) that allows corruption to spread in our country today.
