Vote against Oklahoma House Bill 1125
Vote against Oklahoma House Bill 1125
The Issue
Here is a copy we hand delivered to our State Representatives:
Hail, Representatives of the Oklahoma House of Representatives:
I, Dastur Adam Daniels, am the head clergy and administer of the legally filed Church known as the Dakhma of Angra Mainyu. Mobed Kelsey Daniels and I are both legally ordained and filed ministers at the Oklahoma County Court House. Our church has successfully performed a public wedding ceremony with a wedding license that is legally binding on file at the Oklahoma County Court House as well. Purpose of this letter is to show the church’s opposition to OK HB 1125. The Bill in question and those who wrote this where obliviously unaware of our presence and our ability to legally act as ordained clergy members when it comes to marriage law. (Included with this letter is our Church’s business license, copy of my minister’s credentials, copy of the wedding license.)
This Bill speaks of common law marriage, as it currently stands in the State of Oklahoma; common law marriage is not recognized and shows this bill to be illegal. Another issue with this Bill is only allowing filed clergy to perform a wedding ceremony and only they have the power to execute this legally binding license upheld by the State of Oklahoma. This shows bigotry and an attempt to force the free government and citizens of Oklahoma to accept the beginnings of power transfer into a theocracy, which is unconstitutional. Finally, HB 1125 is specifically aimed at the Homosexual community; this community is a community of US citizens and residents of Oklahoma. As of October 6, 2014 same sex marriages became legal. Trying to pass laws to supersede established laws to create a legal discrimination is illegal and unconstitutional.
In conclusion, I ask that you, honorable Representatives of The House of Representatives of Oklahoma to stop this bigoted attempt to legally discriminate against members of our community. These same members include homosexuals, atheists, and others deemed less than human by the Christian community because of perceived laws of God. Laws created by zealots that were codified hundreds to thousands of years ago should hold zero merit in today’s government that must uphold the separation of Church and State. As I know you love your freedom, allowing this Bill any progress will go against our Constitution and will give the Church power over the Government and our citizens. Think back on the bloody history both the Roman Catholic Church and Nation of Islam, and ask yourself if you would like to allow such a regime to rule over yourselves, your loved ones, and your neighbors.
Sincere Regards,
Dastur Adam Daniels
