Liberals scolded us on the subject of being tolerant not to help make us better people, but to give themselves more elbow room to alter society until liberals were sufficiently insinuated into positions of power. Now liberals can be intolerant towards those who are not liberal and it doesn’t matter.

The same could be said for free speech or allowing divergent opinions. With liberals, it was never about improving society. It was always about giving liberalism sufficient power so as to become entrenched.

Marriage is a covenant and not a contract. It was instituted by God and not by man. As an institution, it is not in the realm of government, because government cannot enter into a covenant nor can government regulate it.

Because government has grown hostile to marriage as God defines it, in order to protect that sacred institution, we must now remove the power to regulate and define marriage from government. Then people can conduct their private affairs as they see fit, and they cannot get government to impose their private relationships on people who reject them.

If we must have separation of Church and State, we must also separate functions of the Church from functions of the State. We now should see that was a mistake to get the State involved in marriage. Let us quickly repair this error by repealing all state power regarding marriage.

For now, for the time being.
