How was it stupid? Laws that protected marriage actually benefitted the state as healthy marriages lead to more growth and less welfare.
Laws that advocated for the moral well being of a state resulted in an great American culture - the likes of which we will never see again.
Repealing these shacking up laws and repealing laws against homosexuality have directly resulted in same sex marriage laws that have been FORCED by illegal court orders on us Americans.
“Going to Hell” has nothing to do with the issue. We are weaker and less economically stable as a nation since we abandoned these common sense laws.

Get rid of all the Great Society and all of the other poverty pimp programs then. People will instinctively return to the family for support. I don't need some law that "advocates" for some moral well-being. This is just as bad as Carrie Nation demonizing alcohol.

You sound like a liberal, from whom 90% of our modern excess of laws have come.
