One Brow - How would you feel about dissolving "marriage" as civil terminology, and the gov't recognizing ALL domestic partnerships as CIVIL UNIONs? Marriage could be the province of churches - whatever church. Much like baptism. Fair, right?
That would be fair, certainly.
The gay judge in San Francisco just held, indirectly, that congress' passage of this law is "unconstitutional," eh, Mo? And Eric wants (or at least wanted) to argue that there are no "pragmatic" concerns with respect to the judge's rulin. Go figure, eh?
Until you attach some number, the concern is hypothetical, not pragmatic.
I think your idea to make marriage now only available to RELIGIOUS people instead of everyone is fabulous! I've seen you post this quite a few times, and although some hateful atheists responded, you defiantly stood strong with your position of love: take away the rights of not only homosexuals, but non-religious as well.
As an atheist, let me assure you that even if the government only recognize unions and left marriage to the churches, I would still call my ceremony a marriage, and it would not be that hard to make it a marriage.
Does anybody else have the suspicion that this guy and Hopper are the same "dood"?
No, I'm Hopper. Don't you know anything?
