Defense of Marriage Act = illegal

OK, finally … after the dishonesty of 1996, and Clinton’s failure of spine as reflected in his signing of DOMA, rather than issuing a VETO!

If these DOMA characters really wanted to “defend marriage”, they would have declared marriage a religious function and  declared the terms “marriage, married” and any related terms, as they appear in Federal Law,to now refer to Civil Unions Licensed by the States.

A marriage would hence forth be a ceremony officiated over by a religious figure and subject to the laws of the religious institution officiating (Hence, Catholics could not get divorced, Jews would require Rabbinical ‘Get’, etc).

They would also make it clear that Religious marriages are fully subject to religious tribunals, and are outside the jurisdiction of the Civil Courts.  Qualification for any State decreed, or provided, benefits would be available to those joined through Civil Unions, or any Religious marriages, providing they are licensed.  Thus, one can ‘marry’ without filing for a license – but they would have no Federal legal standing.

Failure to adhere to a Religious judgment would be deemed a ‘breech of contract’ and prosecuted in Civil Court by either the religious institution, or respective parties.  Civil Divorce Laws do NOT apply in religious marriages … and cannot be applied in any civil action.

The DOMA people will therefore get what they claim they seek, a declaration that marriage is a Divine Act.

Of course, because the DOMA people are hypocrites and have only harm as their goal, they will reject this.

Saint Paul’s Joke establishes here is no Biblical basis for the rejection of Gay Unions – but there is a clear and explicit basis to reject bi-sexual activities or any act of deception (“passing” or being “in the closet”).

Saint Paul’s Joke also establishes – chapter and verse – that the average Christian violates Romans 2:26 and therefore violates the basis for their religious salvation.

But DOMA people are happy with going to Hell – they just want to take everyone else with them.
