Avi K.,
“it should be further clarified that gentile women in the news are not over on anything.”
1) You have pretty big shoulders to say that they are not being over on ANYTHING.
2) Even if that were the case, What about 2 Men and what about Jewish women. Everyone here knows that the reform, conservative and even the OO were big promoters of this (I have seen the comments of the honchos of the OO movement, this is not a matter of debate).
3) The tragedy of the Decision was not about anyone being over, the same people who are now going to be over on mishkav zachor were doing so before the Court’s decision The issue is that the with this decision the millennial old definition of marriage and the family unit has been changed. That is huge, regardless if it is two gentile women or unfortunately two Jewish men.
4) This redefinition of what is marriage, what is a family unit and what is the societal norm has a profound negative impact on the morals of society.
Before long, and I am sure it is already on the agenda, any loopholes to the law that exist for religion will be done away with and this “right” will be used to harm people and groups that practice traditional religion.
The US was founded, and the constitution was written, to protect people’s right to practice their religion. These agitators have come along and created a new right which they now use to replace what was a basic right guaranteed by the constitution.
Separation of Church and state does not mean one cannot practice religion, it means that he government cannot interfere in how someone practices religion. It is meant as a protection of that right of individuals. I guarantee that this new law will be used to usurp the rights of people practicing religion and will result in many breaches in the real separation of church and state.
