Laws function in order to maintain order in society (e.g. no murder) and to allow society to continue to exist (e.g. taxes). <BR/><BR/>Furthermore, if marriage is something defined in the Torah, that has no real bearing on order in society or its continued existence - then the laws of the State of California have no business Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10275443.post-547616135084982362008-11-11T17:21:00.000+02:002008-11-11T17:21:00.000+02:00occidentalisraeli:I hear what you are saying.On th...occidentalisraeli:<BR/><BR/>I hear what you are saying.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand laws can and should be based on moral principles. I think that everybody can agree with that. The question is: Do moral principles from the Torah supersede any man-made moral system? The answer is yes! The Torah dictates is what God desires. The morality of the Torah is eternal and not a passing Hollywood fad.Cosmic Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13880746347107372827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10275443.post-34089504648408676802008-11-11T00:45:00.000+02:002008-11-11T00:45:00.000+02:00That is a religious reason for not participating i...That is a religious reason for not participating in homosexual relations. It is not a reason for the government to tell citizens of a country that is not supposed to legislate religion what to do, based on religious reasoning.<BR/><BR/>It would seem that you define marriage as a religious institution - in that case, the US government has no business being involved in any kind of marriage at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10275443.post-71414517406431824182008-11-10T17:14:00.000+02:002008-11-10T17:14:00.000+02:00Jack,"After the doings of the land of Egypt, where...Jack,<BR/><BR/>"After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do; and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do; neither shall ye walk in their statutes" (Leviticus 18:3). The Rambam (Laws of Forbidden Relations ch. 21) considers such marriages among the "doings of the land of Egypt".
