God invented marriage, not man. God designated marriage, not as a contractual agreement, but as a covenant. Governments may be able to regulate contracts, but a covenant is based on the laws of God and not man. Thus marriage is an institution outside of the bounds of government.

It is time to get government out of the marriage business and to return it to the private sphere. The problem for me today is that people who want to call themselves “married” against God’s law (as I read it) are willing to use the State to force me to recognize that marriage, which I cannot do. The want to have the State’s public education system indoctrinate my children that homosexual marriage is “normal”. They want to force me to subsidize the homosexual marriage in the tax code just like the godly marriage is subsidized, and they will use state agencies to punish me for "discrimination" if I decline to accept their status in any
way.

If the State must force me to acknowledge its power to declare two men to be "married", then I must support efforts to remove that power from the State. If people who don't want God defining their personal morality demand a separation of church and State then let us also have separation of marriage and State as well. If
those people don't want any displays of the Ten Commandments in government buildings, they cannot hide behind the Commandments that protect marriage when it comes to "marriage" that God cannot and will not sanction.

I read the teaser on this blog and it caught my attention. Everywhere we look, another judge is either staying or overturning laws passed by duly elected representatives and signed into law by duly-elected governors or approved by a vote of the people.

Is this what our representative republic is all about? A few men and women sitting in a courtroom somewhere over-riding the will of the majority? As the piece says, if according to the 10th Amendment ““rights and powers” not specifically itemized in the Constitution are held by the people collectively or by the states: by what rights to judges overturn the will of the people?
