marriage isn’t just a catholic institution- Jews had practiced it for many years before- My points were that government ripped the act and sanctity of marriageo ut of God’s hands (irregardless of which religion practiced the ceremonies) and bastardized it to being a meaningless business proposal ie: propogating to create new generations of tax payers to support future government
The govenrment was the one not allowing unproductive marriages (It’s true that religiosu institutions didn’;t allow it iether- but the arguments are that ‘God and Christians are hatefuly because ‘they don’t allow gay peopel to marry’ when hte reality is that it was a government issue- a secualr issue- a financial issue- nothign to do with religion- so supporters of gay marriage don’t even have hteir facts right and are directign hteir hatred towards Christiansd hwne hte reality is that the laws agaisnt gay marriage had to do with secular reasons, not religious
As my post indicated, Catholics and marriage control only came along recently, and only in a part of the world, and they only managed to totally impose their law over marriage in their area of control in 1563.
Everybody on earth had marriage long before Christianity.
