History shows us it would last hundreds of thousands of years. Why?

Apparently it was for you - since you failed to answer the question.

Seeing that human life has not existed for hundreds of thousands of years, I don't see your point.

It doesn't matter, it just unconstitutional not to allow every person to have one, if they want one. How dare one state have a different standard then another. the same with a state's welfare program, they must let everyone benefit, and not define who is poor, and who is not, it's discrimination.

You cited Christianity and it's status under the law - it is a religion which the practice of is protected under the 1st Amendment.

This behavior and the message that you seek a savior as President has always been intriguing.

It was not me that placed an angelic halo above 0bama's head, or portrays him as a god, nope, that would be the looney left.

Is Barack Obama the Messiah?

Some think that he is the anti-christ. I am not one of them, however.

Yes, the practice of Christianity is protected under the 1st Amendment. The 1st Amendment forbids the government from passing laws preventing the practice of religion. It doesn't say anything about laws unrelated to religious practice and their applicability towards adherents of religion.

The 1st Amendment would not prevent the government from passing a law banning Christians from driving, or getting a business license to open a medical clinic, or getting a civil marriage contract, etc. Those are laws that have nothing to do with the practice of religion. The 14th Amendment is what prevents the government from making such laws, not the 1st.

A direct democracy can overrule the 1st Amendment. And Proposition 8 is a state law, not a federal one.

No clue why you're bringing that up.
