Sorry, but God has a couple of other marriage-related policies that take priority over the unclean things that creep at the bottom of the sea.
[list=1][*]Marriage in the United States shall consist of a union between one man and one (or more) women. (
Gen 29:17-28;
II Sam 3:2-5).
[*]Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines, in addition to his wife or wives. (
II Sam 5:13;
I Kings 11:3;
II Chron 11:21)
[*]A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (
Deut 22:13-21).
[*]Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden. (
Gen 24:3;
Num 25:1-9;
Ezra 9:12;
Neh 10:30)
[*]Since marriage is for life, neither this Constitution nor the constitution of any State, nor any state or federal law, shall be
construed to permit divorce. (
Deut 22:19;
Mark 10:9)
[*]If a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the widow. If he refuses to marry his brother's widow or deliberately does not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe, and be otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law. (
Gen. 38:6-10;
Deut 25:5-10)
[*]If there are no acceptable men in your town, you may get your dad drunk and have sex with him tag-teaming with any sisters you may have. (
Gen 19:31-36)[/list=1]
I look forward to seeing the best minds of the GOP come up with tenable Constitutional language enshrining these principles, and I look forward also to Ty's re-write that accomplishes them without the ambiguity that often results when the GOP leadership doesn't want to admit what its real agenda is.
