What's more disturbing to imagine is the postings of court cases themselves as new religious laws disguised as just that -- secular laws. When before we all knew what adultery was, I suppose some new age law, with religious connotations, will take its place. No need for that stuffy old "husband" or "wife" terminology. That's just a vestige of the patriarchy. The goddess is afoot, and we've smashed the patriarchy, right? Will adultery cease to exist? Just because a law is not present on a school room wall, doesn't mean that its absence isn't a religious law. If one's religion says that the word 'adultery' is meaningless, that's still religious doctrine. I present you the empty spot on the schoolroom wall with the "no such law available" implication as being "a religious law."

But I will tell you one thing: mothers will still have to raise children in demolished homes because of adultery, no matter how hard the state works to abolish the natural law of matrimony. Fathers will still abandon their natural responsibilities. Adultery and abuse will still break up natural families. But the law will become less and less helpful as an instrument in our country for assisting natural families by requiring personal responsibility. That empty place on the school walls where the 10 commandments used to be and the new "no such rule by fiat of the goddess" religious law will still tell children: there is no such thing as natural marriage.
