Reply #80: She just provided a sound argument for why Prop 8 is unconstitutional [View All]

If it truly is about religious semantics than there is no power invested in our government that can enforce or define the word marriage for them. It has to be left to the individual church whether to perform a marriage ceremony or whether it should be called a civil union or a marriage.

By Rick Warren's logic then, the attempt to define marriage as between a man and a women is an attempt to establish a uniform law that violates the religious freedom of people of faith who do not choose to follow that definition. If this is true, and the proponents of prop 8 made statements in public indicating this, then there has to be a lawyer somewhere with the interpretative, rhetorical, and fact-finding skills to establish this firmly within a court of law.
