How is the state certification of a marriage contract devaluing the marriage sacrament?

By inviting Caesar to pass judgment on the "validity" of Abram and Sarai's Marriage, you have just whored unto Caesar that which belongs solely to the Family, the Church, and to God.

C'mon, OP. Be serious. The State is not passing "judgment" on the marriage union by restricting itself to acknowledging as valid only the union of an unrelated man and woman.

How is that "passing judgment"?

If you wish to have the State honor the primacy of the marriage contract (as part of the Family's claim to autonomy and sovereignty), you must start by recognizing the union of the Founders.

Please be more consistent. Does marriage belong to God, the church, or the family. Up till now you've been seemingly arguing that God and God alone has sole ownership. Are you incorrect in this post or in all your previous ones?
