Catholics and Mormons file brief in 10th circuit court

[GaryTaylor]

Yes, OK has the right idea. This makes it fair and equal for everyone. Why shouldn’t a brother and sister living together for mutual support be excluded from the same benefits a married couple receive automatically under the law? Why can’t there be plural spouses?

This way OK doesn’t have to deal with any of those questions.

That’s the issue in the nut shell though, so the point of “it being the right idea” then it would set the precedent for future definition. Which is why the brief is framed as general and traditional. Otherwise “any” combination of the social experiment could develop and be defined marriage and become part of the government business. At least that’s how I’m understanding this. I suppose every argument used in the past decade will again come out. Interesting is our progress though isn’t it?

Why is Cruz polling nationwide, he’s a congressman from TX right?

Cruz is a senator from Texas.

The “Gay agenda” is ruining individual denominations -it has severely damaged my Church -hurt the Lutherans at least the evangelical Branch and is now threatening the Methodists

At least the Catholics -conservative Jews and Orthodox have finally said NO -I see no avenue for the Federal Government to enforce the Churches to perform Gay Marriages-

The Clergy needs to say NO-

As for what the individual State does -the members of the individual Churches have to let it go-we have separation of Church and State-

Avoid what is happening to the episcopal Church say NO

Polling is odd, he gets 87% yet when polled Americans support same sex marriage at about 50% if I remember right.
I thought maybe it was a presidential thing. Maybe I’ll look at him deeper tomorrow.

It depends on how the question is asked. I still can’t get past 2008, when my former state of california elected Obama and also passed a constitutional amendment recognizing marriage only between man and woman (the celebrated Prop 8). The “inevitability” has been achieved through courts, rarely at the ballot box. Cultures that celebrate sodomy are rare, and familiarity with Leviticus is not required to understand the role procreation plays in defining human families.
