The end of civil marriage is the ultimate goal of this whole gay marriage thing
you want to do it for them....
As I wrote on previously, the state can get out of the ‘marriage business’ totally, leaving it up to the churches to take care of records and such, for its own members. The government merely collects a tax on each marriage, that is essentially what a ‘marriage certificate’ is, a receipt for a fee paid to the county records clerk. A civil ‘marriage ceremony’ consists of, basically the clerk saying, “Do you two want to get married?” If both answer ‘yes’ then he says, “Okay, you’re married. That will be $100.”
The churches once kept records of the ‘real’ marriages back in the day, and they can do so again. With the government of the state or county out of the picture, the issue goes away politically and religiously. Hetero-marriages would still be performed in churches or wherever, by ordained ministers. Any other kind would simply be ‘recognized union’ by the state...................
