The chances of changing anybody's mind on most moral issues is about .001% chance anyway, so arguing any point at all can be concidered a waste of time...just how life is.

First, there is no seperation of church and state...no where in the constitution. Also, you are confusing morality with religious dogma and doctrines. Morality is a completely different entity than the church. Churches are only seen as institutions of morality...their own morality. As far as your l...

Marriage is not a dying tradition, rather people have misinterpreted what marriage is. Marriage is a comittment based on duty. When we get married, we say "I do." rahter than "I feel." What is not understood by much of society at large is that marriage is a comittment to actions and deeds, not words...
