civil marriage is the first step out of confessionalism ad away from the men of cloth of all sides.
it is vital that it happens for the future of our kids.
extremism should be fought at all levels.
should we decide to do so, we would become a country.
all religious extremists should be sidelined by society, and that can happen in a country like France because it is secular.
in Lebanon we are unable too get consensus to implement civil marriage, which allows religious people to control a major part of our life.
religious people role is restricted to matter of the soul and not to meddle in every part of our life.
Any law that does not treat me as a Lebanese and wants to treat me as per my secte (not even my confession) is a step backwards towards abolishing sectarianism.

on the senate and sectarian laws:
- instead of always calling for dialogue conference, rather call for the senate. the senate should be there to represent the sects and religions. starting by creating the senate helps reduce sectarianism in the parliament.
- a non sectarian parliament is the target we should all look for. but to even consider accepting going backwards to more sectarian laws is just falling into the hand of those creating sectarianism.
laws are passed to deal with the future and not the present.
what is the Lebanon we want?
wanting civil marriage to be implemented does not mean 'hate religion'.
under normal civil marriage laws, you can still choose to have your religious marriage ceremony, but the legal marriage is the civil one.
