The institution of marri...OK, this is just UNWISE. The institution of marriage is a religious institution. In our history, the STATE had nothing to do with marriage. The STATE did not define marriage OR issue licenses to marry. <br /><br />Marriage is an individual and church matter. <br /><br />What we have here is a majority trying to religiously define marriage to a minority (homosexuals) - and a minority (homosexuals) moving to redefine marriage to the majority (heterosexuals)... BOTH going through the STATE to force their views on the "other side".<br /><br />The wiser choice is to go back to our history. Remove the power of marriage licenses from the State and return those to the church and the individual. That way, everyone has their own liberty and the STATE cannot be used as a vehicle for homosexual activism.<br /><br />Remove from homosexuals and every other minority group the power of the STATE to control personal decisions.<br /><br />This makes no sense to even engage in this battle. The STATE becomes the biggest DANGER and THREAT to religious conservatives JUST by stepping into the ring. Rather than fight these opponents - disarm them. Take the Libertarian position and remove marriage licenses from the purview of the STATE.<br /><br />Begin to see that the REAL BATTLE is the battle of the religious right against hte STATE.<br /><br />It's an extreme error to believe that homosexuals are using the STATE to advance their agenda.<br /><br />Actually, the STATE is using homosexuals to advance the power of the STATE.<br /><br />So, I say, examine the Libertarian view and use the CONSTITUTION to TAKE AWAY FROM THE STATE all power to advance ANY AGENDA against ourselves, families, children, churches,and homes.<br /><br />Stop giving the STATE the power that belongs to individuals and the church. STATISM is the greatest danger and threat to ALL of our liberties.Laura Lee - Grace Explosionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002267385228111639noreply@blogger.com
