>>> From your numerous posts stated that marriage and religion are not separate, it seems as though you obviously care. I was merely pointing out a FACT that proved you wrong. The above statement (fact or not) does not refute what I said in my post.

That marriage and religion are intertwined is not a concern, it's a fact. And after your inability to prove otherwise, I've simply stopped caring about debating the point.

>>> If the will of the people were the only reason law existed, we might still have bans against interacial marriage.

Not likely.

>>> USSC overturned those bans against the "will of the people"...and it will happen that way again soon.

Really? Was there a nation vote on interracial marriage that I'm unaware of?

>>> Protection from the tyranny of the majority counts.

Defending our social and religious institutions counts.

>>> So long tyranny, hello equality.

I'm sure lots of folks in California felt that way last May.

while they may be intertwined for some, legal marriage has no religions requirement,


That's the fact.

Marriage does have a definition...the union of a man and a woman. Equally available to all.

"In other words...NO."


Speak incorrectly for others often?
