EPIC RAP BATTLES OF PHILOSOPHICAL IDEAS

STATE-ISSUED TAX STATUS AND LEGAL DOCUMENT FOR NEXT OF KIN

vs.

THE LORD

Which takes precedence while dating when divorcing while still "legally" married? The State-issued certificate, or The Lord?

If the State-issued certificate has the authority to prevent potential partners from dating hopefuls, how does official State-sanctioned next of kin and tax status affect your decision? Would you consider dating someone who has had their marriage certified in a different American state than the one in which you reside? Why or why not?

If [in the eyes of The] Lord supersedes the State-issued certificate, how does the issuance of a different, State-issued certificate backing out the claims of the first change your mind about The Lord's authority? For why should the State wield power and authority over Heavenly Father? Or is there a sort of social-contract between the two which should be given deference?

For those who still believe in the archaic idea of an absolute morality (while demonstratively never adhering to its tenants), does it depend entirely upon how marriage is personally defined by the potential partner? Does either the State or The Lord allow for such justifications (keeping in mind the State no longer considers adultery cause for prosecution nor divorce)? Perhaps the reason is the ever-present, "That's just how I feel." If so, please please please relate a detailed basis for your feeling if it is not covered in one of the three scenarios above.

Surely there is some logic I have missed, so I implore you to help me understand. Thank you!
