Comments
We have a Creator, who formed the universe from nothing. He gave us a set of laws (10 Commandments) to live by and He expects us to follow them or there will be His judgement at some time. We are His, just as everything in the universe is His. Genesis 2:24 defines Gods marriage plan as between one man and one woman. Men made the decision on Obergfell v. Hodges, which is not according to Gods plan. Men are temporary and fallible. This proposed change in Virginia is not following God's law and is an abomination in His eyes. Nothing but misery can come from like marrying like. It is a sin just to propose this change. This is a creation of the fallen one.
Richard Altice proves in his statement that we need to repeal this amendment based on that fact that it is a personal religious rule and NOT a universal rule.
You should not force your religious beliefs on someone else. Period. Putting an EXTREME religious belief in a constitutional amendment is an insult to all my fellow veteran's that have fought against religious extremists in other countries.
