Bill Frist Being An Asshole
Asked whether he supports an amendment that would ban any marriage in the United States except a union of a man and a woman, Frist said: "I very much feel that marriage is a sacrament, and that sacrament should extend and can extend to that legal entity of a union between -- what is traditionally in our Western values has been defined -- as between a man and a woman. So I would support the amendment."
So, Bill...if marriage is a sacrament, are you suggesting that the institution of marriage is, first and foremost, a religious one?
In that event, one can only conclude that in order to maintain proper seperation of church and state, the US must immediately cease to recognize the legal institution of marriage, rather than give preferential treatment to those engaged in a specifically religious union associated with a specific faith.
For, and the Constitution can get quite explicit regarding this subject, you do not get to force your religious views on me, nor do I get to do the same do you.
The latter of which is too bad, a good sacrifice to Quetzalcoatl is just what we need today, to turn things around.
Nevertheless.
