Our laws presuppose a sense of what the majority believes is moral, right, and good public policy. And as a people, our concept of right and wrong is formulated largely on a deep, spiritual level. Those who support same-sex “marriage” are no different and repeatedly argue that they have the morally correct position—even routinely presenting spokespeople from the “faith community” to articulate those views.
The truth is, if the government sets up a screening process at the voting booth to weed out those whose vote might be influenced by religion, many of the people pushing to redefine marriage would be among the first tossed out. But not to worry, no such screening process is necessary if we live in a country where the courts can invalidate legislation based on whether it was promoted and passed in part by an electorate with religious convictions.
Is ours such a country? We’ll know once the final decision is rendered in this case, where religion—or at least certain religions—are very noticeably on trial.
