And to think, fifty years ago the Hippie movement, in an attempt to destroy middle class values, declared marriage DEAD! Old hat! Outdated! After all, if you really loved someone a marriage license was not needed! It was ONLY a piece of paper!
SEX! DRUGS! ROCK AND ROLL! Tune in, Turn on, Drop out, was the motto of the day!
Today, those old hippies and their kids have discovered that marriage is the most important thing two people can engage in to prove their love, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE GAY!
The only way that the hippies were right is that a piece of paper is unnecessary to declare a man and woman married; after all, marriage existed among illiterate crowds in ancient times.
That was because God declared marriage to exist in the hearts and souls of mankind, not on any piece of paper.
But now, you’re absolutely right. The idea that God declares marriage to exist has been replaced with what the state says is marriage.
Which puts homosexuals in somewhat of a comical position: that the government can tell them what to do with their bodies. The very position that homosexuals argued against to achieve their supposed freedoms.
