Knight13 – I guess you missed my previous post. Holy Matrimony is about building a family unit. Secular marriage is about legal rights. Any talk about providing benefits to induce such behaviour is simply fabricated justification. In fact, when I got married, my taxes went up! Marriage penalty, it’s called.
Regarding the democracy complaint: Um, we don’t live in a democracy. We live in a Republic. We don’t vote directly. We elect representatives to do most of that. Democracy just makes a mess. The more democratic our Republic becomes, the more of a mess it becomes. That’s why certain populist junk gets overturned. It’s our safeguard against mob rule.
