Say it with me folks. Church, State. Not the same thing at all. Keep them distinct. Mixing them is harmful to both. I see an article like the one yesterday about the Catholic Church’s opposition to gay marriage and I think, well, of course they oppose it, but that’s all the more reason to allow it! Think about it: they oppose gay marriage because their religion opposes gay marriage. There isn’t a civil or secular rationale that would oppose it at all.
Time to write more strongly-worded letters to my government officials.
