We need to separate religious fiction from the life ongoing. That means encouraging diversity. Strengthening the institutions that support human interaction. Marriage should be treated with absolute respect. Anybody who enters such a relationship should well understand the high moral stake they are making. Not for a month. Not a year. For all time.

The Church has no single monopoly over such a strict interpretation of the marriage vow. The State should amplify this message and ensure a commitment is a commitment. Forever. In the meantime, it is right and proper that the Church preaches as it will. However, it is not an instrument of the State and it should keep its inner thoughts for those who wish to believe.

The separation of Church and State should be both sublime and absolute. For how else can we ever sift away superstition from reality and use common sense as the arbiter of what is right and good?

The institution of marriage is no longer an instrument of the Church. It has evolved into a secular principle and, hence, the idiocy of blindness is diminished. Let people be the masters of their destinies. That means the Church needs to become involved with the moral imperatives that such communion commands.

We are all here for a mere moment in time and it is up to us to make the very best of what we are given. In harmony with everyone who lifts us towards greater peace and tranquillity.
