“You say marriage is only a religious institution. Well, now you’ve got it. No state recognition.”
It sounds great to the already married folks, but it’s a crap deal for us young folks wanting to get married. Especially when we hear it from our older peers who know, “hey, nothing’s going to change for me”. What a pain in the ass.
Um, who are you quoting there? T’ain’t me. Besides, that’s not even my argument. Marriage necessarily has both a religious and a civil component, no matter how it is initiated. The civil component is deeply embedded in common law, and no one person has the authority or even the raw power to single-handedly undo the common law. Our enemies have a temporary tactical advantage, but God controls the playing field, and has it rigged against them. I am not worried.
