This is a wicked interesting article. Well-reasoned, too.
"The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly held that marriage is one of the most fundamental rights that we have as Americans under our Constitution. It is an expression of our desire to create a social partnership, to live and share life's joys and burdens with the person we love, and to form a lasting bond and a social identity. The Supreme Court has said that marriage is a part of the Constitution's protections of liberty, privacy, freedom of association, and spiritual identification. In short, the right to marry helps us to define ourselves and our place in a community. Without it, there can be no true equality under the law."
Check it out, dudes. Big ups to my bro/cuddly man bear Hutch for sharing it with me today.

There is no lasting life, liberty, or happiness apart from God. Christianity is fundamentally based on Judaism as it carries God's declarations of His laws. Without that basis, there is no basis for faith in Christ and His fulfillment of the Law on our behalf. Marriage was intituted by God for a holy and pure covenant between a man and a woman and Himself. By definition and in God's sight, same sex "marriage" doesn't exist. If you don't believe what God has said about marriage and same sex sexual relations, then any humanistic view is acceptable; however, the eternal question still exists, "What does God think?" The God of perfect love is also the God of perfect judgment upon those who refuse His Lordship of love. He is the final authority and the best grip we have on His perspective is His Word to us, the Holy Bible. Rewrite His opinions all you want but that won't change His precepts, His acceptance criteria, or His determination of your eternal destiny. Fear of God may be out of style in this world, but it's still the basic prerequisite for His kingdom. His wonderful promise is that very soon that's all that will be left. Praise His Wonderful Name.
Addendum: MK, you've convinced me fully that the American Way has come full circle and is now bullshit.
"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." -1 John 5:3 (King James Version)
Society connotes this as an encouragement to discard all the commandments we consider grievous to our own will and independent discretion. American law is now more important than morality (ooops, there's that M profanity word again) as God's standards define it.
