No need to debate your religion at all

Post #135,821 by boxley 1/14/04 10:17:48 PM Reply	No need to debate your religion at all just wanted to make my point that marriage is a religious ceremony not a state function and most christian sects require kids. No more no less my point supports doc that marriage in the main requires children being tended by the birth mother and impregnating father in a family structure. Having kids outside of that structure is harmful to the kids. Your comment that marriage has nothing to do with kids is your opinion but not the opinion of the major christian faiths in america, or muslim or moonies for that matter. Marriage is a religious function not a state function so your comment that parenting is not part of marriage is refuted by the major religions. You are wrong thanx, bill same old crap, con artists ripping off fools. Ah, hell, Catholic Church it start off that way. They All do. Jesus probably had three walnut shells one pea, then he's dead and can't be questioned, Gabriel Dupre questions, help? [link\|mailto:pappas@catholic.org\|email pappas at catholic.org]

I also do not recall saying the exact statement "parenting is not part of marriage" I believe I said it did not have to be, not that it wasn't. If I said either of these exact statements, exactly as you presented them, please show me where. I don't consider myself wrong on this issue, it's how I believe and my opinion on it, therefore it isn't right or wrong, it's right or wrong for me. Thanks.
