We Oppose Same Sex Marriage

AS A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND A RESIDENT OF ALABAMA, I'VE NOTICED THAT AS A PART OF THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE IT STATES "ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL."

WE FIND SAME SEX MARRIAGE TO BE MORALLY & RELIGIOUSLY WRONG. FURTHERMORE, ON THE U.S. CURRENCY IT STATES "IN GOD WE TRUST". HOW CAN WE SUPPORT A NATION THAT TRUSTS IN GOD, BUT NOT TRUST IN HIS WORDS?

GENESIS 2:22-24 STATES :
22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman, ' for she was taken out of man."

THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS WAS ONLY WRITTEN TO PROTECT THE POLITICAL RIGHTS OF EACH INDIVIDUAL STATE NOT MORAL ISSUES. SO WHY DOES THE SUPREME COURT INTERFERE WITH RELIGIOUS MATTERS?

SAME SEX COUPLES SHOULD NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS THE NORMAL HUSBAND AND WIFE. HUSBAND: MALE WITH NATURAL GOD GIVEN MALE BODY PARTS. WIFE: FEMALE WITH NATURAL GOD GIVEN BODY PARTS.

Here is what the First Amendment says:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

So in the First Amendment, the founding fathers clarified "freedom of religion", "freedom of speech", "freedom of the press", "freedom of peaceful assembly" and the right "to petition the government for a redress of grievances". Since this article is about religion, let's take the first portion "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".

What exactly are they trying to say here?
One key word that both opponents and proponents throw at each other is "establishment". Some within the legal system go as far as to call the First Amendment "the establishment clause". The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word "establishment" as: "Something established : as a : a settled arrangement; especially : a code of laws". 1 From this we derive the word "Established" which is further defined as: "To institute (as a law) permanently by enactment or agreement". 2

So put back in context, Congress cannot establish a national religion.

Let's go on.

"...or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Again, let's turn to the Merriam-Webster dictionary for a definition of the word "prohibiting": "To forbid by authority" and "to prevent from doing something".3

Okay, so the key concepts here are:
1. The government will NOT establish a national, government run religion.
2. The government CANNOT prevent a person from exercising their religious beliefs

Thus Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
