A recent poll has 40% of folks thinking marriage comes from man and thus the state. Many more have been conditioned to think that marriage is whatever the state says it can be, it comes on little pieces of paper that say so.

Which the homosexualists and statists love, because no way would so many buy into the impossibility of “gay marriage” without the disaster the state has made of the institution in recent times. Once the state got involved, at least in the modern era, marriage was at the whim of whatever most folks think it happens to be at the time, at least as far as the state is concerned. Generally the more one looks to their faith, the less likely it is for them to buy into things like “gay marriage.”

There are places in the bible that talk of Marriage as second best to chastity. Should we take that seriously and shun those that get married??

If you choose to get married then great for you. I personally don’t think that the government should be in the business of saying who gets married. The government (men) should not be dictating jack sh!t, when it comes to religious affairs. So my take is that Government dictating marriage is bad, dumb asses wanting to marry other dumb asses is bad.

Look, they are the same in many aspects.
