Debate:Should the federal government have the power to define marriage? (view source)
Revision as of 03:25, March 10, 2009

The government should not have the power to define marriage. Marriage should not be taken into consideration when filling taxes, suing for wrongful death, inheritance, hospital visitation, or immigration. The laws against polygamy, polyandry, adultery should removed from the books. The government should instead limit itself to enforcing contracts between (two or more) people. Once the government says "you two people get this benefit because you are married", it is in the business of defining marriage. --[[User:Rutm|Rutm]] 15:15, 21 May 2008 (EDT)

That's God's job not the government's. I think the government should not be in the business of issuing marriage licenses either. Marriage is a holy sacrament between the husband, the wife, and God. The Bible says, "Do not give what is holy unto the dogs"--[[User:TedM|TedM]] 23:25, 9 March 2009 (EDT)
