If marriage were purely a religious act then I'd say to leave the question up to the religions. But that isn't the case. Today people can be married by a Judge and the Judge's religion doesn't matter.

Harami was right, marriage has been stolen from the religions by Government. Marriage, therefore, has become a function of the State just like Incorporating a company is. Given that, it is clearly unconstitutional to deny Marriage as a State function to homosexuals.

Now, if the Catholic church wants to deny baptisms to children of Homosexual parents, so be it. But as soon as the Government starts baptizing people (which it will start doing of we don't get Bush out of office) that will have to change.

yeah, pretty much my position too, except that it doesn't matter if Bush is in office or Satan himself... its the power behind the office thats the problem


Take on the responsibility to be free
