why do you want to take away freedom and power from you and your Church and give it to the government?

I haven't argued for any such thing. My church has rights that are guaranteed by the 1st Amendment. A Constitutional amendment defining marriage as a heterosexual institution will free my church from having to fight that part of the homosexual agenda by guaranteeing the proper definition of marriage!

Why don't you understand, your church already HAS the power to exclude homosexuals from marriage, and the US Constitution was not meant to be abused in such a manner!
