Or, are you claiming there was always gov't and without gov't there is no marriage?
Where was marriage defined before government decided to bundle a set of contract law protections and responsibilities together and call it "marriage?"
You're a nut. You make Ron Paul supporters look sane.
I replied to a post where you rambled on about what GOVERNMENT should do, should legislate, etc. I asked, pointedly, where was marriage defined before gov't got involved. You'd attacked Ron Paul whose debate position is churches, rather than gov't, should be defining marriage. But--oops--in your reply you admit it was defined in a religious context before gov't got involved. You've endorsed Paul's position!
You've been hoisted by your own petard and don't even know it.
