An Inconvenient Marriage

In our current day, the issue of gay marriage has become a somewhat "hot" topic. I wish to explain why this should've never been. There are many people on both sides of this issue, with well intentioned hearts, that believe they are a crusader for the betterment of humanity. To be honest, i have yet to meet a person that this would be true of.

If you are on the side of same sex marriage, then you are ignoring the biblical and moral context of the issue. The fact that an overt amount of sinful recognition from a national body, can only result in judgment in one way or another. Especially when that national body claims to hold the mantle of almighty God.

If you are on the side of those who wish to discourage same sex marriage, then you are also mistaken in your intentions. While you have a more moralistic outlook on the issue, that in itself is not enough to save the nation from a trap that was sprung long ago.

You see, the problem started when government decided to get involved in marriage to begin with. Why did this happen? Well some well intentioned protestant preachers decided that it would be better to discourage both immoral activity and decrease divorce rates if someone would have to register their marriage with the government. Why this did not work is a simple matter. One, because it is almost impossible to decrease the sinful behavior in ones life without first coming to a divine crossroads with God himself. More specifically, acknowledging that Jesus Christ is your personal savior would be the point at which someone would typically come to a changing faith. For all of the people that got married because the government now said so, but were not christian...the process didn't work so well. To make matters worse, we had an increased divorce rate(over time, both christian and non-christian), and now the government is involved in something that is specifically described as being for God. Marriage is a covonent relationship between a man, a woman and God. There is no denying that. But when you make it a relationship between 2 people, any 2 people and a government, it is no longer marriage...it is apostasy.

So who's fault is it? The preachers that believed they could legislate morality into the hearts of humanity. They failed to recognize that it takes faith first, to change a person.

Where do we need to go from here? We should abandon all marriage law. Why? Because it is always prejudicial in nature. You are either demoralizing homosexuals, and their right to live as they want, or you are demoralizing single people....depending on how you look at it. Why? Because marriage law is what we base tax law and other matters on. It's terribly prejudicial toward single people.

And that leads us to our first step in ending the same sex marriage debate. Abolish all income tax laws. Once you do that, you begin to unravel the advantages of government marriage. Once there is no government marriage, marriage will be based on love and true affection rather than a desire for anything financial or simply to make things easier.
