See, this is what you failed to understand. You ceded the premise of the argument in the first place. THAT is why you’ve lost.

The Constitution is silent on the issue of marriage. That was by design. The Founders never dreamed that it would become an issue for the Feds. But by and large conservatives demanded it do so.

Well, you got what you wanted. Don’t like it much, do you.

I’m glad to hear that. Lots of folks around here don’t.

Have a pleasant day.

Once this showed up, it was obvious the Age of Tolerance was over; they were now out for blood:

“Tolerance is over”

Sounds good to me.

Sorry, you have the independent and the dependent variables confused. People will enter into any type of relationship that pleases them. In some societies one or more of the parties may be in the relationship against their will. Some relationships produce children. Only some of these relationships qualify as “marriage” as God defines it.

Some, but not all of these relationships are the building blocks of society. We see communities where a woman has 6 children by 5 different men, that the children grow up more often in poverty, dependence and even prison. I would reject that such relationships are any sort of foundation to a society that we would want.

Beginning with interest in eugenics by progressives, states have attempted to regulate private relationships and to impose restrictions on who can marry.

Having said that, notice that no state attempts to restrict the conception of children. At the very moment that young people must apply for a license to marry, their friends are cohabiting and conceiving children without fear of being arrested. Few “hippie communes” with feral children were ever raided by police.

No law is going to stop random copulation by drunk youth, and the resulting conceptions. People who insist that government has a role in marriage are fooling themselves and being enablers for State power that it never should have had.

Yes, the homosexual lobby and their anti-Christian secularist/communist/democrat party allies are out to destroy all aspects of Christianity and what is has provided for Western Civilization; and to destroy the family structure as well. I heard much talk about Indiana’s passing the legislation that makes religious belief a legitimate legal defense on my long drive yesterday.

It is interesting that the homosexual lobby and its allies was apparently already prepared with their smear campaign against Governor Mike Pence and the state of Indiana. They, especially the Democrapts must really be scared of Pence having a chance of winning the Republican nomination.

Please note that the Indiana bill does NOT mention homosexuals or any group, only that one’s personal religious beliefs are grounds for defense in a lawsuit. An American Indian tribe’s lawsuit to get to use Peyote in its religious worship is the bases for this law and it is based upon the Religious Restoration Act, backed by Chuck Shumer, passed by a Dem controlled House and Senate and signed into law by Bill Clinton. And Obama voted for an identical law when he was an Illinois state senator, a law that is still in effect in Illinois.

Yep, we Christians, regardless of “modifier” we may use, are the target of the anti-Christians.

Got news for you, Americans are ARMED to the teeth. More likely a revolt would happen instead.

If they shove any harder, they will have to use a D8 Cat. Anyway, I will believe it when I see it.
