We really needed Congress to concentrate all of their energy on this redundancy.

Because now the courts or the IRS could refer to this law in determining that an organization is not “charitable.” The IRS, in reviewing non-profits, can review whether or not an organization’s conduct is “contrary to public policy.” I’m sure that shouldn’t be an issue, here, right?

And while the law says that churches won’t have to perform marriages, it doesn’t provide any other protections, especially for the individual in the public sphere.

Right. How is marriage a government thing now? Oh that's right. Governments wanted to adopt the religious practice because the main purpose of marriage is to raise a family. The government and the people running it loved the idea of a larger tax base.

It’s not a redundancy. It’s calculated.

How so, though?...

So what is causing the concern? Where is it coming from?



Are you serious?? How you really don't get this shouldn't surprise me. AND YET.

Totally clueless and disconnected from reality no matter what the subject, son, is no way to go through life.

You are utterly hopeless. And I say this as a medical professional who has seen too many similar cases of delusion and denial of obvious reality.

Marriage is actually thousands of years old. Marriage linked to the church didn't come about until the 8th century so marriage was never about being together under GOD.

You can dv this all you want but it's a fact not a emotion.

quote:

For much of the early Christian Era, the Church stayed out of weddings and let the state handle the union of man and woman. Finally, sometime after 800 AD, the Church began to perform weddings, and a few centuries later the Catholic Church made marriage one of the sacraments.

To codify it so it doesn't depend upon the Supreme Court.

READ the Bill yourself, Captain Cupcake. And don't omit the fine print.

Within 10 years you'll be fully on board with the idea that people who disagree with homosexuality have no place in our society and should be pushed to its margins, regardless of their tolerance/civility toward it.


Couldn't disagree with you more. I will always respect a person's religious views. I have family that isn't totally on board with me being gay, but we have a great/close relationship anyway.

Until they don’t.

And then you’ll be telling people why it’s a good thing that those people have lost their rights of conscience.

We expect nothing less from a dissembler.

It’s a majority opinion in the United States that gays should be allowed to marry.


They are determined to never adapt and to continue losing winnable elections by remaining immovable on social issues.

But they so would win if these elections were held in 1987.
