Our Bodies, Our Selves

Dear Editor,
   On the subject of equal rights to marry, I recently read this quote from George W. Bush: "The sacred institution of marriage should not be redefined by a few activist judges. All Americans have a right to be heard in this debate."
   The word "sacred" is the problem here. Why are any judges defining what is "sacred" under the law over all Americans? What ever happened to the separation of church and state? What ever happened to "Liberty and Justice for All"?
   I am sickened by the fact that Christian morality dictates the law over my body and my life. I don't feel the need to worship or to submit myself to the authority of a husband or god; I don't believe in things that can't be seen, heard, or felt, and I don't want to be ruled by people who do.
