And if it removes its recognition of marriage, it will be seen as having ABOLISHED marriage.

Really? Since the Government is legally prohibited from recognizing a religion, is all religion abolished?

If the Government refuses to recognize the sacrament of communion, then communion is abolished?

What the Government recognizes affects the existence of our religious beliefs, and impacts the reality of your relation with God?

Whatever is not permitted, is prohibited.

Huh. So the 9th and 10th Amendments don't exist. Thanks for deciding the Constitution no longer exists.

You did not notice the article on how "Jesus" cannot be mentioned in public prayer, did you? The First Amendment actually says, "Congress shall make no law" not government generally. Twelve of thirteen states had an established church when they joined the union. That has been twisted into a PROHIBITION on Jesus in public in this country. I'm not the one who decided the Constitution doesn't exist, sorry. When I said, "Whatever is not permitted, is prohibited" I was giving an example of the mindset of our overlords and their enablers. Americans used to believe that statement applied to the government, not the people.

Frankly, if Michigan passed a law against public celebration of Communion, I think most people really would believe that it had been abolished in Michigan.
