And the next step should be a complete separation [View all]

[nadinbrzezinski]

of marriage from the churches, synagogues and other religious institutions, including the FSM.

You want to marry... no matter what your sexual orientation... the one the state will recognize... at city hall. or at home with a JUDGE or other representative of the STATE. What in other places around the world is called a civil marriage, not what passes for one here. And if you want to be married in a church, synagogue, what have you... fine... AFTER the state marries you... and the religious marriage has zero standing before the state. Nor are clergy any longer authorized by the state to marry you.

This also means a complete separation of this civil function from the religious function.

I expect a lot of buts, but before you do, the reason why church members still do it is because county judges did not get often to isolated towns during the frontier years... methinks we have breached that problem, just a thought.

Oh and before screams come, read how this works in OTHER COUNTRIES with a real tough separation of church and state.

Please.

Oh and state rights is code for suppression of civil rights.
