MARRIAGE & RELIGION: J.A. Browning

[J.A. Browning is "an ex-Roman Catholic, old fashioned grandmother raising six grandchildren, who believes in the rights of all taxpayers in this government."]

If two people want to enter into a business contract there are procedures regarding what is necessary. lf that contract is for a 'civil/state union' of two people there are laws regarding it. However, the term marriage should not be applied to the 'civil/state union contract'. This country is founded on a premise that there is separation of church and state. lf the term marriage is used it implies a religious conotation of a union of two people and the state should not be involved. The terms need to be separated as is the state and the church. Thereby allowing any two people to enter into a 'civil/state union contract' not a marriage, which has absolutly nothing to do with any religious group or church (which often prevent the use of common sense). It is time to completely separate in everyway of any terms or suggestions that link church and state.
