The exclusion of closely related couples with no rational justification required by the US Constitution...
....Im an atheist and Matrimony is from Latin Matrimonium which predates Christianity. Latin root of the word Mater, MOTHER. Its biology not religion that dictates only women give birth and only a man is responsible for her doing so.
The Code of Hammurabi limited marriage to men and women. Its biology, not religion that limited marriage to men and women. And Matrimony is from Latin Matrimonium that predated Christianity. The root of the word Mater, MOTHER. Only a man can make a woman a mother.
This enduring, elaborate institution of marriage didn't come into existence and evolve because people were engaging in sex. It did so because when men and women engage in sex, a child is frequently the result.

Matrimony | Definition of Matrimony at Dictionary.comOrigin of matrimony
1250–1300; Middle English < Latin mātrimōnium wedlock. See matri-, -mony
So absolutely nothing?
Ok when are you going to present an argument against SSM?
Are you are that the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights that creates a strict separation between religion and the secular government? Jefferson and madison were adamant that religion and law must be kept absolutely separate for social stability and both secular and religious freedom of all people. The Free Exercise Clause of the 1st mandates equal religious freedom for all people and not just religious freedom for your branch of Christianity.
God was never part of the US government and sin is not part of our laws, so take your plagiarized bronze aged myths back where they came from.

It may be from an older word in another language but in English the word matrimony comes after Christianity
Not that it is relevant because being able to procreate is not a requirement of marriage.

Marriage has never been about procreation, despite your claims. It was a political and financial merger for many years. What is it going to take for you to understand that procreation and marriage are separate? One does not require the other.
A man did not have to be married to women to make her a mother. You are vainly grasping at straws in your entire argument.

Marriage is all about procreation and through this joy in our posterity through all history..
Thats the dawn of civilization through the 20th century marriage. 21st century American marriage has nothing to do with procreation and is instead all ablut helping gays feel better about their homosexuality.
I presented my arguement and instead of refuting it you suggested I take it to the supreme court. I suspect because you cant refute it.
To God it is. Entrance into the Kingdom of God requires obedience and repentance so that the Atonement of Christ will have power to forgive us before the judgments seat of the Father. Marriage is only between a man and a woman.
Well thats because the English language comes after Christianity. And no one claimed it was a requirement other than in ancient Mesopotamia where the husband got a refund of the price he paid for his wife if she doesnt produce a child.
Marriage is all about procreation and through this joy in our posterity through all history. This was established in a covenant between God and Adam and Eve. Anything outside the bounds of this covenant is a sin. In some places, marriages were arranged. But, not all places. Just in the upper elites of societies. Everyone else still saw marriage as an opportunity to have joy in their posterity. Marriage in covenant with God is the glue that holds a society together. Not governments.
...but now not only is religion banished, but so is God. We now are teetering on anarchy...
...even our Constitution is hanging by a thread as demented socialist/communists want to fundamentally change America....
...we see Democrats calling Republicans fascists, racists, homophobes, less than human, deplorables and worse. There is no civility....
....all because liberals want to exclude God from everything....
...the founding fathers did not want God excluded from our country....
If the projections of the 1st Amendment, among others, only applied to the federal government then states and cities could also infringe on our rights and we would still not have secular and legal protections. As we all live in a state that oversight was corrected in the Incorpoation Doctrine of the 14th Amendment that applied all of those protections o to states, counties and local government, including public school boards.Actually it created the separation between the FEDERAL government and religion. In our nations early history, 6 states out of the original 13 had established religions.
Incorporation Doctrine | Wex Legal Dictionary / Encyclopedia | LII / Legal Information InstituteThe incorporation doctrine is a constitutional doctrine through which the first ten amendments of the United States Constitution (known as the Bill of Rights) are made applicable to the states through the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Prior to the doctrine's (and the Fourteenth Amendment's) existence, the Bill of Rights applied only to the Federal Government and to federal court cases. States and state courts could choose to adopt similar laws, but were under no obligation to do so.
After the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Supreme Court favored a process called “selective incorporation.” Under selective incorporation, the Supreme Court would incorporate certain parts of certain amendments, rather than incorporating an entire amendment at once.
As a note, the Ninth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment have not been incorporated, and it is unlikely that they ever will be. The text of the Tenth Amendment directly interacts with state law, and the Supreme Court rarely relies upon the Ninth Amendment when deciding cases.
For all gays and liberals who are Godless and lost in their beliefs and understanding of God, true. For the rest of us, it's about following God and making the marriage covenant with God having joy in our posterity along with our spouses.
I cannot be lost in god because there is absolutely not to support that any god has ever existed. The Bible is the work of man, so logically it cannot also be claimed to be proof of god without committing the archetypal circular logic fallacy. The Bible is no more proof of God than Harry Potter books are proof of Demetor and werewolves.
Your god is an incompetent, illogical, gaslighting genocidal bastard that makes Charles Mason look rational and compassionate.
Biology limited marriage to men and women, not religion.

Then challenge it in court.
Marriage is a human construct which has absolutely zero to do with biology..
