I agree, If "Marriage" is a religious issue, then " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". If it is a CIVIL issue, then the Gov has no right legalizing discrimination.

But this issue goes beyond this and does confuse me.

What we have is a small group of religious fanatics trying to force the Gov to legislate their personal opinion of what ALL Churches can and can't do. You would think that the general RELIGIOUS community would be up in arms! That the Gov should step in and tell them what ceremonies they can or can't provide to their individual flocks.

So we break this wall down. We not only allow, but force the Gov to legislate what ALL religions are or are not allowed to do and to whom.

And the Churches want this?

What am I missing?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
