OrthodoxPresbyterian, CCWoody, and i represent the Libertarian wing of the Reforned faith...put your visions of hedonism and Ayn Rand aside for a minute.... Our wing of Calvinism holds that the State has no business at all regulating marriage, or relationships between conscenting ADULTS. The institution of marriage is a matter that should be exclusively within the sphere of the Church. As such, it is the Church that recognises or refuses to recoginse any given 'relationship' as a marriage. Before one can discuss the legalisation of any relationship as a marriage, the issue of unwarrented state interference into the realm of the Church must be considered...that would even include the issuance of "Marriage Liscenses", which is nothing more than getting state permission to marry!

I do agree with that statement , it is not the states business. But practically speaking the state will make its decisions relevant..no matter what personal beliefs we hold

I have to weight in here. What, exactly, is "The Libertarian Wing of the Reformed Faith?"

Clearly, you cannot advocate state sanction of polygamy and bestiality. Why not?
