As far as homo marriage goes, my church won't recognize it. I'll leave that to the Anglicans and Henry the VIII's descendants.
government cannot “get out of it”
who do certain benefits go to is a big thing since the government is the largest employer in the country
Since there is no government church in America, your argument is to end marriage as humans know it and just let everyone create their own definitions, which of course, the government will still have to recognize as it has throughout history.
Marriage has always had a legal definition whether it was from the Greeks or Romans or Sharia law or Catholic law for a while, or tribal law, or whatever, marriage and families and death and divorce lead to the need for law.
>> I think government should get out of marriage and leave it to the churches
I completely agree.
I don’t use the term “traditional marriage.” I use “marriage.” Homosexuals can’t do it. That is not marriage. It may be a union of some sort, but it is not, and cannot be, marriage.
