If you cannot see that saying a man ought to be free to make choices in keeping with his conscience is not the same as agreeing with his choices, eh, that's ridiculous.

The civil government is presented with two consenting adults who desire the seal of marriage. The church is presented with two consenting adults who desire the seal of marriage. Both these adults are male. You say, TRT, that the state must hold this an abomination and deny. Upon what grounds? "Why, the Christian Bible, Sir," you say.

"So the State is to decide in accordance with what is revealed in the Bible?"

This line of reasoning, pursued, severely confuses secular and sacred government. And, logically followed to its end, has proven disastrous, if not monstrous, in human history.

I can see that your mind is darkened as you diligently go about your father's work of advocacy for the homosexual. Homosexuals who have plied their grievous depravity BTW, without benefit of supportive legislation since the dawn of time. They were always free to work that which is unseemly and unnatural in this country, but what they craved and demanded was validation. As if social acceptance could relieve the impossible burden of conscience. That validation is something the Church will not render. So, that which could never be granted, the courts forced upon the citizenry beginning with the repeal of DADT. Even then deceit was used to work the system in order for them to receive their hollow victory. Activist judges desecrated nearly 3 centuries of law and disenfranchised the voter with their actions of moral treason.

Your absurd argument does not take into consideration the fact that what the gay crowd demanded could only be had through extortion. And even then could not given until the definition of marriage was perverted into something vile and offensive. But by all means, keep pushing on with your work.
