you seem very intelligent. But intelligence and law interpretation do nothing.
Do you really think, considering what we have seen the last 10 years, if a Church only married men/women, that the Feds would crush that quick as a denial “of Civil Rights”? Or whatever legal “fairness” phrase they come up with.
Christians don’t like to face a simple fact. At some time, it all comes down to has the hardest fist and who is willing to use it. Laws are cute and are for the decent and civil minded. Power laughs at laws, especially once they see no one willing to stop them.
I understand and tend to agree sort of, which is why I have been advocating for STATES to start standing up to the Feds for a long long time. But they don’t have the stones to do it, too busy listening to “Legal Advisors” instead of doing what is right.
