We talk about freedom from or with religious worship. We hear talk that our ancestors, as protestants, fled Europe to escape from the clutches of church controlled governments, to worship or not as they wished. It is clear that they wanted our government to be shed of religious driven government because the constitution says so. Of course nobody teaches –or reads it anymore.
We may desire to elect one who follows our moral code, but that is part of elections. Heaven knows our government is full of thieves. But that is our fault because we vote them into office because of this and that, stuff that we believe that is not true.
A current example is -Same – Sex Marriage contracts. News tells us this law is about moral issues. Yet that is not true. The current case in the Supreme Court is about contract law.
The question revolves around a law that prevents legally married gay couples from receiving spousal benefits from the federal government such as retirement pay, tax return benefits and health coverage, the same as a man and woman legally married receive.The issue is not a moral one although we make it so. It is one of a legal partnership, same as the boy-girl marriage contract is a legal partnership that receives benefits.
