This begins with marriage, which Veith explains in-depth as he describes both the husband and wife’s role in loving and serving one another. Veith expresses, “The purpose of vocation, remember, is to love and serve thy neighbor.…

All Americans should have the same rights, including the right to marry the person of their choice. If men and women are equal under the law, why does it matter how they choose to pair off? Everyone’s rights should be just as important, instead of picking and choosing which ones are more important. Different things are important to different people, and everyone wants to be happy.…
“Religion and faith are separate entities” is indeed a true statement. The dictionary defines religion as an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods. And it defines faith as a strong belief or trust in someone or something.

In this time period, there were still judgments and stereotypes against interracial couples and their children.
