"It (bigamy) is not protected under religious freedom because states have the right to regulate marriage," said Paul Murphy, spokesman for Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.
The question I have is "why" do states have to right to regulate marriages?
My only answer is, so the state can force a centralized belief onto the citizens.
For christians, marriage is between a man and a woman. If society can break that mold, men can marry men, women can marry women, and men and women can marry multiple partners.
My personal opinion, we need to break the strangle hold Christians have on marriage.
If we have freedom of religion, we also need freedom from religion. Freeing ourselves from the moral bonds chiristians placed on marriage is the first step to freeing our society the strangle hold of religion.
