Objectively speaking

As we all full well know, there is much talk in the news and everywhere else imaginable regarding the new law on gay marriage.  The all powerful and all arrogant US supreme court has decided that it can redefine marriage as being between two consenting adults, regardless of gender.
My first thought on this is this.  Why does the political entity known as the US law system think they have any say as to what defines marriage?  No human institution has this right.  God had defined marriage, clearly, as being between a man and a woman, and that settles it.
Secondly, whatever the US government says about marriage is really irrelevant.  Scripture and church tradition have always defined marriage as a sacrament between one man and one woman.  As the people of God, we don't care what the US government says in this regard.  God has spoken.
If the government tries to force is to endorse gay marriage, we will get out of the civil marriage business.  People are free to do whatever they choose. But gay marriage will always be wrong and the church will never endorse it or bless it.  We will simply recognize marriage as a sacrament between one man and one woman, only.
The answer is very simple.  The government should not be defining morality.
