The Constitution isn't Caesar's, it is the people's.

Marriage from a legal aspect is nothing more than a contract. Should one dude not be allowed to sell his house to another dude? Why then can he not legally give half of his stuff to another dude and sign a contract stating such?

I'll be the first to agree that Roy Moore loves the spotlight. Wanting attention is about the same thing as having lots of hubris.

However, on the issue of forcing the legalizing gay marriage in Alabama I agree with him wholeheartedly. Judge Moore is honoring the law, not necessarily the US District Judge.

Moore's quote in Yellowhammer today:
�There�s nothing in the US Constitution that authorizes the Supreme Court of the United States or any federal court anywhere to misinterpret the word marriage to include something outside that,� Moore said recently. �Whether it�s about the equal protection clause, the due process clause, or the full faith and credit clause, they�re making these things up and they�re ruling on social matters� quote to me the Constitutional provision that gives the United States government the power to redefine marriage? You can�t find it.�

Our US Constitution is LIMITED in power and scope, reserving the rest of the power and decision making to the states. Alabama clearly voiced its wishes in 2006 by statewide referendum: 81% voted to define marriage as between one man and one woman.

When Federal judges step outside of their scope and authority, it takes leadership that respects the US Constitution and Alabama Constitution to stand up, stand firm, and cause trouble.

God designed marriage as one man and one woman and He alone instituted the covenant of marriage. Governments the world over have accepted this as right. With the rise of the Progressive Movement we can see their work at sanitizing things of God from our culture. Redefining marriage is simply another part of that plan.

I'll be the first to agree that "marriage" has already been dealt mighty blows and all one has to do is look at the issues of adultery, infidelity, divorce, broken homes, absent fathers and etc... Marriage for many is not sacred. But for many, including myself, the redefining of marriage to be between homosexual couples is wrong and should not be allowed.

Those without a Biblical Worldview will most likely see zero wrong with gay marriage and may even opine that "religious" talk has no place in the issue at all. I'd expect nothing else.

Our nation was founded upon Honor, Virtue and Goodness as well as Liberty. It has always been inherently understood that we have freedom and liberty to pursue those ideals that are also honorable, virtuous and good. Pursuits that are outside of those ideals have been typically without the fullness of Liberty. Example: Making money and even greed are allowable pursuits, until it crosses the threshold into wrong doing. Gay marriage is similar: People have the liberty to pursue their own sexual identity but there is nothing honorable, virtuous or good about gay marriage and it crosses the threshold into wrong doing. That's my opinion, your mileage may vary.

Let me ask you this. Where did the concept of marriage come from? Is it not in essence biblical in its origin? Does the definition of marriage biblically defined specify that it is between a man and a woman? Was marriage not originally a Christian process that was later sanctioned by governments around the world?

My point is this. Marriage from its root is a Christian practice that the federal government chose to observe. I don't really give a flying fuk what gays do.....as long as it does not affect others. That is the basis for every law in this country. You can do whatever you want as long as it does not interfere with the rights of others as defined in our constitution.

I don't care if gays have a federally recognized coupling that allows them tax benefits, etc. What I do care about is the government ruling that their rights are more important than mine. Which is exactly what is happening. Marriage is mine as a Christian. It is not the governments to define.

You guys are way way to hung up on a word. Marriage isn't biblical. It existed before the bible.

Marriage is not yours as a Christian. That is an ignorant, uneducated stament. Marriage existed long before Christ. By your way of thought, Jews, Muslims, Hindus or or non believers couldn't marry.
