I'm suggesting that the government not be brought into the "marriage" business at all. IF marriage is religious, then let it be a religious ceremony.
Marriage is BOTH. Two separate entities, one religious one legal.
I'm not at all surprised to see that a troll who has been pushing things like euthanasia for years will also push same-sex "marriage."
Governments have been involved in marriage for nearly a thousand years and from a practical standpoint they MUST be involved if for no other reason than divorce is a civil matter when it comes to child custody and property.
Liberaltarians like you have recently adopted the "get government out of marriage" talking point so that you can help accomplish the left's agenda without appearing to do so. The end result is the same and that is that people like you WANT sodomites to be allowed to "marry" each other.
Free Republic is a CONSERVATIVE forum, not some libertarian cesspool. The GOP was FOUNDED with two goals, to end slavery and to insure that marriage was between ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN.
Free Republic is a pro-family site. And that includes one man, one woman marriage. If you want to push for some other kind of unnatural family (which wouldn’t be a family at all) you’re not welcome here, so get the hell off FR!!
Can’t make it any plainer than that.
