Yeah, I am staying away from the political discussion too. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Yeah, I've read through the one thread a little bit about the county worker and the marriage licenses. Haven't really dared posting my thoughts. Internet arguments are just the worst... and sometimes I feel like my thoughts on various matters, including this particular one, probably would get me into trouble, which is just another reason for me to stay away!

that is a really bad one: politics and religion both in one nasty knot.

I kind of wish,we would just go back to not having those types of discussions here....

 

[Scott DeWar]

Me too, but they are there and I CAN ignore them, so there is always that.

You could always drop Morrus a line. Feedback is always welcome.

It has been mentioned to him at the early part of the new opening

 

[trappedslider]

Well,I posted my thoughts in the thread announcing the okay to discuss those topics,so I feel a bit better

 

[Dog Moon]

I think it's fine if people want to discuss them as long as they are staying in the threads provided for them to discuss them in. We're touching them here a little bit in our Hivemind thread, but not too much, but if the discussions of the politics/religions start going into other threads and derailing them, then I think that's when they should be removed again. But so far, I have seen no problems with them, so I am fine with them continuing.

See, in my opinion, this is EXACTLY where I think the problem is... that the subject is BOTH political and religious. I swear I remember hearing something once about the separation of church and state.... except in certain things they aren't separate. We have "In God We Trust" on our money. And marriage... is it supposed to be a religious marriage or a government marriage?

Islamically, when two people are married, they are married within the religion and are not married according to the government unless they choose to do that. Thus the government marriage isn't true marriage, doesn't count religiously, so it doesn't matter what kind of people the government is marrying.

*placing pinky toe on the soap box*

I believe it is written that the separation of church and state is to keep the state out of the church due to the governmental meddling of church affairs in England at the time of the 18th century. Now we are falling right into what we were trying to escape from in the first place.

As you said, marriage should be in the church, or mosque, not to be regulated by a tyranee(SP?) like we have now.
