Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . .

CONGRESS?

Do we still HAVE one of these?

I don’t understand how they can rule on this as marriage a religious matter, ordained by God.

Are you married?

did you not a get a license to marry from the state in which the nuptials took place.

Government is hip deep in the marriage business, regardless of who ordained it.

I like to pretend that the rule of law might still matter. If not, there’s always the Second Amendment.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

but tradition is not inerrant and authoritative like the Bible is.

You haven't talked with Catholics in the religion forum, have you? ;)

I’m well aware of other groups, like Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Islam, Catholicism, Buddhists, Hindus, and you name it ... it doesn’t mean that what they say and teach is in accordance with the Bible, though ... :-) ...
