That's what people don't seem to understand — I've been accused of supporting the homosexual agenda
because I assert that marriage is not properly within the authority of the State (certainly not the FedGov). Indeed, putting that authority into the State's hands is the best way for it to play into the homosexual agenda
, because once you establish that it's a legal )State) issue, they'll throw out all religious-argument and use their authority to define it [marriage] as they see fit.
I have been screaming it for ages.
It is about infiltrating the Church via the Gov.
Just exchange a few words to confuse the rubes.
Ah, our founding fathers expected and stated that 'we the people' are government, not a bunch of overpaid lawyers dressing up in black robes, claiming supremacy. This bunch is messing in God's territory if they think they can decide perverts have rights to 'marry'.
That works fine under Sharia law, but it is still an authority making a legal definition of marriage.
If individuals and Mosques, and Mormons, and gay goat churches all decide for themselves what legal marriage is, then the marriage war is lost, besides, government or a common authority always has to have laws dealing with marriage, it always has.
Right, but marriage outside of A Church isn't ANY Church's business.
and there are others who are not religious , there are others who marry and have different religions like my wife and get a justice of the peace there are many , many examples of this and yet you can say you’ve been accused of supporting the homosexuals agenda but you only seem to look at marriage through your eyes.
Even the founding fathers used judges to marry, were they wrong too and maybe you are accused of supporting the homo agenda is because what you say is helping to support the homo agenda just like those said let them have civil unions etc
One sad reason the lunk-headed federal government gets involved in these things is people on the Right who don't like what others are doing try to use the federal government to force what they think on others. And as we all know that sword cuts both ways and eventually cuts all of us out of our God-given liberties.
Individual and states' rights and freedoms are the cornerstone of the freest constitutional republic the world has ever seen. Hard to keep it (as Benjamin Franklin once implied) because freedom doesn't always go our way, but in the long run, a free society is the healthiest and happiest on earth. (Besides, we can always move to another state (like we are right now) that lines up closer to our values.)
The state recognizes marriage to protect children. It's not about adults at all. Things like SS confused the issue.
Thats like saying the feds should not tax income. One can argue these things all they want but it is pissing in the wind. Marriage status affects taxes and thus it IS a fed and state issue whether we like it or not.
