In the scenario I spoke of they would not be forced to contradict any beliefs they want to cook up. They would however not be able to perform legally binding marriages if they could not fall into line with the state's (as in state at large, not individual state in the union) policy on the matter. I understand various churches pull double duty as polling stations at various points in time -- if they are not willing to let inspectors in then they can not perform that task, no real difference here and there is nothing stopping them from holding a mock poll either.
It is not ideal but you appeared to attempt to conflate alternative but well accepted forms of sexuality with those that are not and indeed are widely illegal in most what might be dubbed progressive countries/places in the world. That is not an especially good place to start.
and where those countries are seen condoning slavery they tend to be penalised, I am not sure where this is going though.
Only 4 times, though to be fair I have met hundreds of people and only killed about 3. I do find it somewhat amusing that you would bring a letter of the law argument where before you are attempting to use higher morality at other points. Considered a career as a lawyer?
