    A liberal view would say Jesus is one of many ways and that the christian view is too closed minded.

    Hmmm! Can of worms here.

    I think there are many paths to Jesus, but Jesus is the only path to God.

    Marriage was an institution ordained by the Lord in the book of Genesis. He did not need government to help Him accomplish His purposes in marriage. Marriage is the foundation of all families, communites and societies. Government is merely an organization to carry out the functions of society. Government basically attracts self serving people, and in no way rests on a foundation of marriage. Government today rests on a collection of greedy individuals.

    What has govenment done with marriage in this nation over 200+ years? It started with a definition similar to that in Scripture, and now has evolved into making same sex marriage the law of the land. How does that work for you as "marriage being the foundation of all government?"

    I'm happy to go with 'no idea what I'm talking about', and I've reached the point I don't care whether Revmitchell thinks my 'liberalism' is showing. Most of the responses I see here seem consistent with what 'liberals' are accused, so it's all pretty meaningless.

    I'm not happy to leave this point unresolved. This should involve a simple explanation of the constitutional structure and ammendment process. I am starting to suspect Revmitchell does not have sufficient constitutional knowledge to provide an explanation.

    Can anyone else assist?
    Do I have an incorrect view of US constitutional change? If so can I have an appropriate explanation, with references to credible sites.

    Yeah, that's fine Mr Mitchell.
    So you know what I'm asking. Can anyone help with an answer?

    You are exactly right. I've made this point before and it should be apparent to anyone who has ever read the Constitution. However, the connies on here don't care about facts when presented by someone outside of their little group, even facts which don't have any bearing on their political views.

    While text is not removed from the U.S. Constitution, state constitutions can have differing rules. For example, the Florida Constitution can have text removed, inserted or deleted. Click here to read it.

    Closing this since there have been reported posts and we are now on page 10 (per forum rules).

    BTW, here is the US Constitution on line in its original form for those who care to read it. We have veered so far from the original intent and practice of US Constitution, it is mind blowing.
