Then we agree on something. So why did you ask: "So what societal benefit would ensue by government sanction of your domestic arrangement?" “No, I do not want the government in the business of societal benefit.”

For the sake of playing along, I will say, "No, I do not want the government in the business of societal benefit." I hold that position because government has done a colossally bad job of it every time it tries. However, there are instances where government is necessary -- infrastructure, legal system, etc. Those things that the PEOPLE can do -- charity for the poor, for instance -- the government should not be involved. Happy now? Actually, I don’t see where you’re going with it.

So I will answer your question. I know of no societal benefit nor harm that would come from gov't recognition of gay marriage. Now you answer my question.

To a limited extent I have learned to do that with the New Testament Greek. However, I have not managed Hebrew yet. Still, it is valuable to go to the Hebrew for particular words.

It is not a question of EQUALITY, but of AUTHORITY. That authority is not even based on merit. Have you never thought yourself more qualified to be the boss than your boss is? Does that mean you should usurp the authority that was given to him as your boss? Neither should you usurp the authority given to your husband.

> Part of loving someone is respecting them.

Certainly. I respect my wife, and consult her frequently. She is extremely intelligent, and I appreciate her opinions. But the authority and the responsibility are mine.

Regardless of the law, they still do their thing unimpeeded. I always talk with them when they come down and we get along fine. It does cause a lot of problems for some owners though. They just won't have anything to do with them because of who they are. Me, it's not my place regardless my beliefs on the matter. Crap, Mama fell at work and got hurt. Got to go.
