Governments have been recognizing marriages for over a thousand years.
You sound like a libertarian troll who wants to allow same-sex marriage while pretending to oppose it.
If I want to have 10 wifes,why cant I? Why government wont recognize it?! King Solomon had many wifes,and I can have children with all of them.
The libertarian cesspool expands.
As conservative, I want government to have very limited effect on my life,including who I can or can’t Marry.
Newbie, YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE.
Well said.
Yes name calling is the best defense and very mature!
Why should government encourage any type of behavior. Should government encourage for people to buy health insurance,or send their kids to public schools,or buy houses on credit?! I agree that marriage is Godly that’s why its up to Rabbis and priests to marry people. Understand, any time you think the government should encourage /discourage or force some type of behavioral. This power can be used by the Libs to force behavior which you find distasteful to yourself. Fundamentally, Government should stay out of persons affairs UNLESS it significantly effects other people. As of today marriage is just a formality, why is it so hard to understand. Take an atheist do they care to get married, NO! What changes to them if they married,or not- NOTHING. The only people who care about marriage are religious, thus its between them and G-D. If you bring Government into the Holy union they will turn it unholy,as they usually do.
Even if he/she DOES oppose same-sex “marriage,” you can be he/she is a strong advocate of “civil unions.” I’ve heard enough from these types to know this for certain.
