Marriage has been denigrated, reduced to a mere piece of paper. I am married and I consider that my marriage certificate is now worthless.
Let's say that in order to earn a university degree you need to go to a bricks and mortar establishment for 4 years, study the subject, take quizzes and a formal examination to be awarded the degree. You and many others did this and are proud to put that degree up on your wall for all to see. It has a value.
Now the ignorant among us decide this is too restricting, discriminatory and has to change. They force the government to take over the issuance of degrees and reduce the requirements so that now someone can get a degree by life experience and work experience, never attend the actual university, do it all online and have no way for the university to determine if that person actually did the work, but so long as he passes the required tests he gets a degree.
And let's assume that this person then applies for a job using the degree as a qualification.
The lazy guy is happy he has a degree and expects it to give him all the benefits of the more formal one. What do you think the first guy thinks? Does it devalue his degree? Is his piece of paper now better than it was? or is it now just a piece of paper with little or no value?
Marriage was a religious event, it had a biblical meaning and was precious to most people who entered into it. In many cases it did not need to be written down or recorded, it was a covenant between the couple and their god. In our more modern times we wanted to regulate marriage, control it, make money off it and of course we did this, forcing people who wanted to have their marriage recognized to apply for a marriage certificate, issued by the government.
Then it was decided to allow marriage to take place outside of the church, and people could get a marriage certificate without any religious participation or contact. I am sure that you would not see any difference and in general most people accepted that.
So now the q***rs want to get into the act, and they are going all out for e******y but instead of going for just the civil certificate, they want the whole pie. They want the religious paper too, never mind that any church that had not lost its soul would deny them such a sacrilege. Any person who thinks this is wrong (and I not only think it wrong I think it is a filthy perversion of the sacrament of marriage) is railed against, attacked, taken to court, forced into bankruptcy maybe, businesses destroyed and lives ruined.
But you think this is OK and so long as you are not personally affected you can sit back and laugh.
You are an enabler and share culpability with the sin that is ongoing. A moral sin and a religious sin and one that will result in the value of marriage, the stability marriage offers, the propagation of family values, the good it does to family life and the protections and guidance of the children all going down the tubes, into the filthy Democrat swamp where you might be happy to wallow but I, Sir, am most definitely not.
I oppose your moral filth and that of the q***rs amongst us with all my being and I am definitely affected by what I see happening around me and I despair for my kids and grandkids.
It may be that you asked this question ironically ... (

These buffoons want e******y, well we want e******y too. I want to be able to adopt one of their kid,s. What did you say, they can't give you any? Than how can we be equal? They want to adopt our kid's but we have no recourse. You see that's why there is marriage and than there is a union. In a marriage you can procreat in a union you can't. Now let them tell us how we can be equal.
