Let the government determine those rights,        not a church.               The spiritual union belongs to the church, and that's completely        separate from the legal aspect.                                          --- MultiMail/Win v0.52        * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/700)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/14 153/7715 154/110 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 610 700 810       SEEN-BY: 218/840 860 880 900 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 206 317 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 700 705 266/512 291/111 292/854 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 218/700 229/426           |
