Dear Andrea Mitchell, Marriage is NOT a Sacrament

[HockeyMom]

13. Having spent 12 horrible years in Catholic School

I think I learned enough about what a sacrament is. We also had to take Comparative Religion in HS. I learned through that not ALL religions believe in sacraments. The Catholic Church in Rome started the concept of Sacraments, none of the other religions have them.

CIVIL marriage is certainly not a a sacrament, but a LEGAL CONTRACT. The US government does not perform sacraments. This infurates me that every straight couples who marries must be receiving the SACRAMENT of "Marriage", according to far too many ignorant citizens in this country, apparently, including Andrea Mitchell. STUFF IT, Andrea, as a straight, non-religious, married woman of 38 years. You, or anybody else, cannot make my marriage into something religous, if we don't WANT it to be so.

This is just like saying the USA is "Christian Nation". No we are not, and not all married couples in this country are in the holy, sacred, sacrament of marriage. If people cannot understand this basic concept, no wonder they don't have to approve Civil Marriage for gay couples.
