“Because we’ve given Government dominion over marriage, it can make of marriage what it wants. And right now, it’s making it an abomination.
Statists and homosexualists love that many are conditioned to think that marriage is just a collection of rights from the state, that can be granted, enforced, severed and resumed as long as the state gives its permission. They know if marriage is merely viewed as a contract that applies between any people the gov’t deems, then there is no real reason not to accept impossibilities like “gay marriage”.

PRECISELY! I for one refuse to let the sacrament of marriage be so defiled. If it is not honored and revered as it should be, then take it out of the hands of Government altogether. Reserve it for the church, who will treat it as the gift from God that it is.
Leaving marriage in the hands of the Government is like leaving your sermons in the hands of the Government.
They can have a civil union with their godless Government; it is NOT marriage, however. And since the Government refuses to accept the Biblical foundations of marriage, then it should have no say in deciding if the joining of two people is, in fact, a marriage.
If it cannot recognize what a marriage is, then how can it have power to recognize a marriage?
Thank you for your eloquent post!
