Everything happening right now is intense, so the left has found a new response, they're winning.
- Canada was going to be strict at the border anyway. They made that decision in November of 2024.
- Mexico is standing against the immigrants coming to run away from the dictator in the US.
- The guys going through audit of the nation are unvetted and inexperienced with government regulations. They don't have clearance.
- Sovereign citizenship is part of the constitution, and Trump's plan has already been struck down in court.
- Trump was friends with Epstein so that information won't be released.
- The military is underpowered because of so many people leaving.
- Did you see our cool heat ray!
- Atheists make better christians.
- Trump is a dictator because he's getting rid of all that bureaucratic control.
Ect.
I think those are the fake atheist Christians who are doing that. I think they've infiltrated many churches. For example the Church of England flies the child mutilation chevron symbol and performs wedding ceremonies for gay men who kiss in the church "you may now kiss the husband" 🤢 These people hang out at Reddit r/Christian or r/Christianity
Some of them most certainly are, but I think the problem is that there are also many Christians that have gone along with it because of the feels.
...tell me they don't actually say husband instead of groom...talk about ignorant...
for the record, I don't have a problem with gay marriage, other than the government staying out of it overall, and maybe i'm being pedantic, but Gah, that bothers me...
I used to be pro "marriage equality" for libertarian reasons. I've changed my view on this as I now see marriage as a purely cultural phenomenon that has nothing to do with your rights as an individual or a citizen. Married and unmarried people already have equal rights in society. As an unmarried person myself, I am not oppressed or limited in any way. There is nothing I can't do that only a married person can do, and if there was, then that should be permissible for unmarried people as well. So the whole idea of marriage equality is based on the premise that unmarried people can be discriminated against. Counterexample: if indigenous people have some special ceremony of cultural recognition within their culture, that doesn't mean I am entitled to be part of it. It's a purely cultural institution and those can be arbitrary and exclusive, otherwise nobody could have any culture because all cultures would have to be inclusive of every other culture.
...as far as that goes, i think it's stupid to say, "oh i got married in a church that opposes my marriage, I had to make the government force me to be married there, but i was totes married in the building." retarded and ignorant at best, and just plan mean-spirited at worst.
as far as your example of an indian ceremony goes, no, they shouldn't be forced to let you parcipate, but if you want to perform the ritual yourself among friends and family, you're completely welcome to. they don't have to honor the meaning of it, but if you and your loved ones want to, that should be okay.
...there absolutely is one group i'd exclude from involvement in marriages, though; government. let's face it, marriage contracts are meaningless at this point, anyway.
