Or anyone else who doesn't wish to prescribe to one particular religion/faith?
""The president will announce his support for a constitutional amendment to protect the sanctity of marriage," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. Bush was to make the announcement in the White House Roosevelt Room at 10:45 a.m. EST."
For instance I was married in a County Courthouse last summer and guess what? "god" was not mentioned in the service once, not once. It was a beautiful Secular wedding in a fabulous courtyard with no "god" present.
Did that protect the "Sanctity of Marriage"? Not if we're using the same definition for "Sanctity" it isn't.
======================================= Main Entry: sanc·ti·ty Pronunciation: 'sa(k)-t&-tE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -ties Etymology: Middle English saunctite, from Middle French saincteté, from Latin sanctitat-, sanctitas, from sanctus sacred 1 : holiness of life and character : GODLINESS 2 a : the quality or state of being holy or sacred : INVIOLABILITY b plural : sacred objects, obligations, or rights =======================================
Not a terribly Secular word, is it?
So is this a tricky ploy to invalidate/attack the non-Religious regardless of sexual preferences?
Personally I find it improbable that the "final" constitutional amendments wouldn't address those godless troglodytes that call themselves "married" when "god" wasn't in the ceremony.
