Sorry, I don't believe in your God, and I would not want anything to do with a celestial dictator, even if such a being were to be proven to exist.  For an absurdly lengthy amount of reasons, I will not go into here.

Also, US Law, doesn't care about your God, either,  It has no power here (and really, has no power anywhere, but...not really the point), if you wish to live in a theocracy, where such things are a reality, there are still plenty of them worldwide.  But the US, is not among them.  You can choose to force your views on others, and be jailed, or fined or whatever.  Or you can learn to control your own life, and let others control theirs.

Also, Marriage (or some form thereof), pre-dates every currently existing religion.  So, you can't lay claim to that, either.

And I don't care about US Law, nor do I really care about your opinion, honestly.

PS.  Just so we're clear here, maybe you don't realize this, but a very major part of the reason for people leaving England and murdering millions of Native American's (a whole other issue), was to escape the Church's influence in England, and to create a place where people of all faiths could co-exist.  Not to create another theocracy where the wishes of the religious majority (or minority) would overrule another persons rights.

Nobody was talking about a theocracy.

That's ok, you don't have to care about my opinion, but if you live in the US, you kinda do have to care about US Law.  As Davis has found out.  Your statement on 'absolute morales' and your willingness to overlook secular Governmental rule indicate a desire for a theocracy.  Whether you understand the word or not, isn't really relevant.
