Marriage

Lets have a little history lesson on government roll of marriage. Alabama had a law that basically said interracial marriages was illegal. In 1883 Supreme Court basically said that the Alabama law was unconstitutional because of the 14th amendment. This was a victory and a curse because it allowed government to have a say in marriage. I think it would of been best if government made no laws on social issues particularly marriage and let the people decide how they should live there lives. In Minnesota there is amendment about to be voted on in next election that would allow Minnesota to decide whether or not to have marriage between one man and one woman. There is all ready a law that makes one man and one woman marriage the only marriage. The reason why there is an amendment vote on this issue is because people don't want to have judge rule against it. So, it makes it harder for the Judicial system in Minnesota to make the law illegal. I do agree with principle that marriage should be between one man and one woman but should I regulate my morals on other people? What if thirty years or so from now the majority of people has a different sets of morals that is against my morals and they want to regulate my life because their morals say they have the right to regulate me. I think not. I think that marriage should be left out of the government completely. I don't want to see churches being forced to accept homosexual marriages but I don't want to see the church regulating marriage through government force. A church has the right to accept or reject a particular marriage, for what ever reason. I will stand with any church that will reject unbiblical marriages whether thats homosexual or a non-Christian marrying a Christian but I do draw the line when it comes down to government to decide. Whether or not you believe that marriage should be open or close the government should be out of marriage completely.
