Anonymous Sec's Argues Semi-Topless

Sure, B.O.S.  Pull the thread attempting to render me bare-breasted.  But by using dogma that yokes unilaterally, you're pulling at the collar.  You'll find no joy there.  You're not addressing my arguments.  Instead you're echoing those politicians who planted firmly on the courthouse step and said that interracial marriage was not God's will because it says so in the Bible.

In all of your missives, you stand steadfast in what you believe to be God's side in the issue.  I defend your right to do so.  Yet you have glossed over the civil aspect of the issue and your responsibility in that as well.  Do you recognize that you don't live exclusively in the religious realm?  You are garnering rights and freedoms from the civil aspect of life and proclaiming your religious belief to deny your neighbor those rights which you enjoy.  As dearly as you hold your religious responsibility, you should hold your civic one, particularly when it comes to your neighbors, whom you love so.

If you agree that church and state are separate, as you seem to, then how can your religious beliefs hold dominion over your civil ones?  Or your civil ones hold dominion over your religious ones, for that matter.  Civilly, same-sex marriage has nothing to do with you other than your responsibility to guarantee to another citizen a right which you can enjoy.

The Bible may guide your spiritual life, but it does not in all things, otherwise you would be just as steadfastly trying to legislate against divorce, capital punishment, the Bush Administration, and zippers.  You, as the founding fathers did, see the need for modern realities to compel fundamental thinking to change.  Why is it that marriage between two adults who love each other is the line in the sand that cannot be crossed?

Okay, so I could go off on a huge argument about the Bible being the word of God interpreted through the congenitally limited understanding of man interpreted from a foreign language by men who had vested interests in what is said, but I won't.  And I also won't go into what slight insult I take from the two separate Gods argument.  And I won't point out that you say you're not holier than thou but proclaim that God is on your side.

I won't do that (much) because you have a right to believe as such.

Let's just hope some enterprising height bigot doesn't manage to get on the California Ballot next time a proposition to amend the constitution to say that men cannot consort with women taller than they.
