Some good and wise moves in Raleigh --- at the same time they have overridden the Governor's veto of Magistrates refusing to marry gay folks . . .

Even though I have reservations as clergy over such --- I am a Minister and not a Judge. I did a marriage for a divorced man and his bride my first year as a minister in upstate SC.

The other Baptist ministers in the town refused them, but after looking at Jesus' words on divorce, I found it applied to the Jewish custom of legalizing putting a woman on the street when getting tired of her. Jesus views it as "legalized adultery" --- all in the hands of men at a time when women had no legal rights outside her father or husband!

It pays to read the Bible as it is rather than "what we want it to be."
