From your post 31 -
The healthy family is one where a married couple gives birth to children. When single moms or unmarried couples form a family, the family is not as healthy. Marriage exists as a fundamental institution to the family. The rights afforded to married people exist in order to help promote the healthiest form of a family. There are some rights afforded to any family (child tax credit and child support (I think) are two), but some privileges must exclusively remain in the domain of marriage. A family with married and unmarried parents are not entirely equal, for the married family will have a tendency to be healthier. So while some rights are afforded to all families, some must also exist for the promotion of healthy families. From here on out, it starts getting into separation of church and state because questions of unmarried couples and homosexual couples (which certainly aren't Biblical) come up, and a decision must be made as to what level of separation must exist (none, loose, strict, exclusive?). Jesus would love homosexuals, but Jesus wouldn't love laws where our tax dollars end up going to pay for homosexual marriage. Jesus will still love homosexuals (as he will any "sinner"), but Jesus will still be against the promotion of their practices.
Please give support for this assertion.
