If a person does not want to “help” evolve the specie, I don’t see any right or wrong thing at all.
It simply *IS*. That’s the point I’m getting at.
That’s what I mean by anything goes.
Your preference to evolve is no better than a another’s preference to stop evolving.
Arguing that legal marriage should exist simply because it existed prior to the formation of the union is silly. Many things existed prior to the formation of the Union.
Look, anywhere you give government power is bad and that extends into even the more traditional social concepts. The execution of marriage as it exists today in greater society is ridiculous on its face. And that is primarily a result of the interference of government and it’s rules. Rules that are defined and manipulated by politicians.
Your thinking is ridiculous, goofy, in your efforts to destroy marriage, now you want to pretend that your thought out position is that the people of America will just eliminate marriage, and marriage law and divorce law.
According to your fantasy, we would always have had polygamy and gay marriage, and somehow marriage, families, and divorces would be invisible to society and law.
Stop the silliness.
I said no such things. The tactic to get me to defend something I clearly did not say is not going to work.
I’ve made a clear argument on why government should have no role in what is supposed to be a union of two people before God. Under what circumstances do you believe government enforcement of this union before God complete with subsidizes and tax breaks and special rules is beneficial to marriage? Or do you put a marriage at the justice of the peace on equal footing as that of one before the church?
You are as unclear as can be, it is almost impossible to even figure out what your thinking is it is so silly.
Something about some internal fantasy of yours, but I'm not even sure what the fantasy is.
You can have any private religious "marriage" you want, as long as you don't care about it being recognized by the government and don't openly flaunt the laws against polygamy, for instance, so what is your complaint?
Understanding another point requires intellectual honesty of which you seem to have none. This is the 2nd time you’ve put words on my mouth amd dodged my direct question. Either you are incapable of reading comprehension, incapable of rational discussion, or incapable of responding to a simple question. Which is it?
I can’t make sense of nonsense.
Why would you waste people’s time by making silly statements about not wanting a legal, a society wide recognized relationship called marriage?
America has never had such a thing, and never will, it can’t, that is why all societys have marriage laws, whether it is a democracy, or a tribe, or atheist, or a Monarchy or a place where a religion is the law, like in sharia law, or whatever.
I’ll ask the question again. What is the legitimate role of government with concern to the union of a man and a woman before God?
Contract law.
Would you try to bring your marriage rants into reality and the United States, and politics, especially on this news/activism thread related to an important conservative political battle?
I don’t even know if you are a Muslim, or Mormon, or a member of a gay church, practice Apache marriage, or what, and I’m not interested in your personal religion or church.
Bravo. A person of intellectual honesty. Wouldn’t contract law be just as valid without the “marriage ceremony?”
Since when is a 2 sentence post with a simple question a rant?
And if you don’t care what my religious beliefs are then why did you bring it up? It’s hardly relevant to the subject matter.
Good Lord, do you ever make sense?
Would you try to bring your marriage rants into reality and the United States, and politics, especially on this news/activism thread related to an important conservative political battle?
How about G-d’s or G-dly marriage?
