This is the problem I have with gay marriage proponents. You agree that the government should not be involved then argue the case that they should. You agreed that the government has no place in marriage and are then go to argue that it's the governments job to protect it.

Well it isn't. The government is not there to protect anyone. There was a time when the police were privatized.
So the Magical Piece of parchment flies around protecting people? No the Government with in the framework of the Constitution does.

Now we have the Unalienable Rights of the Decleration of Independence in the Constitution. The Constitution was formed to define the government and its powers. The Bill of rights including freedom of religion, which is the reason against gay marriage and this ridiculous semantics argument, were added.

I never said they should be involved with religious marriage but civil union that grants x rights and marriage that grants the same rights is the same thing in a legal sense and legality is the realm of Government.

I give up trying to use any sort of reason with you have fun in your anarchy.
