Hmmm. I only mentioned it because you assigned me some lesser god in the previous post.

A god in that very same post that I claimed did not exist. It was but another way of declaring my belief that you worship a phantom, a non extant entity.

But amidst all the gnashing of teeth, it seems we have found common ground. That would be to allow gays to marry, in as much as the relationship was only between themselves, and did not require any outside employer or government to recognize any monetary or other spousal benefit.

Indeed. If I can conduct commerce and live precisely as I do now, without being forced in any way to pay or otherwise acknowledge what it patently not my identity, then I have no objections. Surely this evil will overcome the rest of the country anyway, but it buys me time that I can use.
