- "I propose that the government should get out of the business of marrying people and, instead, only give legal status to civil unions."
- "While a case can be made for intelligent design, I can’t figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all, it doesn’t prove there’s a God. If anything, intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature."
- "If marriage really is a sacred institution, then why is the government controlling it, especially in a nation that affirms separation of church and state?"
