No, marriage is by definition the legally or formally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship. It's older and broader than Christianity or any modern religion.

Also same sex marriages are nothing new. Emperor Nero was wedded twice to other men. Besides ancient Rome, there historical knowledge of such marriages in ancient Greece and other parts of Europe, ancient Mesopotamia, and in some regions of China.

Modern religions defined sex and marriage to themselves as only means of procreation and enforced such ideas throughout the middle ages but that's all they did and thankfully in modern ages we went back to separate church and state and civil marriage has nothing to do with a god or a religion but rather recognition by the state and society of a union partnership and the family basis.

I still honestly don't understand why the government, whether it be Federal or State needs to concern themselves with marriage in the first place. Allow people to marry whoever they want - end of story. But no, make it complicated ig.

what part dont you understand? are you 10? there are some people in the government who like religion, they dont realize the book was written by people and was altered to fit the times and so they have misconstrued beliefs, how hard is that to understand? pick up a book.

No I understand why they do it perfectly, the part I don't understand is why they feel the need to in the first place. What I'm getting at is I see no need for the government to stick it's nose into personal matters such as marriage. It simply shouldn't be their concern, unless that is, they're trying to use it as a political talking point to gain backing and / or votes to their parties. Like I said, simply let people marry who they want. End of story.

its because of the word "precedent" see, biden and the gang are under HUGE pressure to convert to a communist society ( see world economic forum for more details) so the goal is to have as much power as possible

Marriage by defination is the union of man and woman under god. Why the fuck would anyone want that when they are gay/bi/trans/lgbtq/wtf by defination what they do is a sin to god. Now i dont believe any of that crap or in marriage for that matter does it mean im not allowed to talk about it and have a civil discussion about the topic. (edit before someone takes this wrong i mean crap as in the god stuff not lgbtq+ i have nothing against what anyone does in their own time.) Now im all for letting people do what they want and all should be free to marry whom ever they want but to try and condemn someone for sticking to their beliefs and voting against something is also not right (again people should be able to freely think and do what they want...within reason and as long as it dont hurt anyone else...) now the real question is why did you go off topic to bash my response that was on topic when you contributed jack to the conversation in doing so.

Ah so you do care. Gotcha. :)

But you're right: i could've contributed to the op but didn't. So here goes...

I'm actually glad not all Republicans voted the same way. As a foreigner, it sometimes sounds as if the party is just a conglomerate blob or cult that consistently (1) votes against my beliefs and vice versa. Glad to hear they're actually individuals who have an opinion on things. :)


(1): @Nothereed are a thread with their bulletin points. It's almost comical how i disagree with them on EVERYTHING

republicans don't have a brain and do not humanize them under any circumstance.
