Where are you now, people who claim marriage as sacred?

I've read every word in this thread.

All I have to say about gays is, "To each, his own".

BUT...

I dare anyone to show me in the Constitution the words,"Seperation of Church and State".

They aren't there. That idea was never intended to be there.

What WAS put into the Cosntitution is one of the original articles included in "The Bill of Rights" that stated that the government shall make no laws considering the establishment or preference for a state sponsored religion.
PERIOD!!!

It has the intention of preventing government from influencing any religious belief or lack of the same, but it does NOT intend to prevent religion from influencing the government. In fact, Jefferson wrote that with the amount of liberty being built into the new nation, religious influence and ethical standards would have to be imposed on the government to keep them from becoming corrupted.

With the acceptance of the incorrect interpratation of the church/state Constitutional article by the high courts of this land, the corruption of politicians has been guaranteed.

Take the reason to be ethical away from man, and he he will forget the basic difference between right and wrong, as we see so evident in the world today.

Argue with that if you are able.
