You make my point, that the Federal Government has no business being involved in marriage at all, since it has always been a religious ceremony.

What has changed?

Whether marriage was created by religion or not doesn't really matter.

All legal adults should be able to marry who they want in a free country. Not all marriages are religious in nature. Marriage is a legal contract.

Then I suggest you hire a cadre of lobbyists and storm Congress to change those laws.
We'll wait.

Is that too much for you to grasp?

The phrase "separation of church and state" is not in the Constitution. Maybe it's too much for you to grasp?

Deny it all you wish. Marriage was created by religion and is the reason there is so much backlash about allowing freaks of nature to be considered a breeding couple, under the eyes of GOD, to create the next generation of life.

It really doesn't matter since marriage is a fundamental right.
