I've been thinking about the pending Constitutional Ammendment that will effectively make it illegal for people of the same sex to get married, on a federal level. I do not understand how they intend to do this and get around that pesky equality clause, but I found some bible passages pertaining to marriage since these asshats intend to thump the bible when promoting this ammendment.
This is my first diary... so please, follow me to the "Extended Body" box.
Here are some bible references pertaining to marriage that Bill Frist, Santorum, Hastert, and the other tight ass thumpers should consider when creating a law based on biblical principals:
Marriage shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. (Genesis 29:17-28)
Marriage shall not impede the man's right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives. (II Samuel 5:13; II Chronicles 11:21)
A marriage shall be considered valid if and only if the bride was a virgin at the time of the marriage ceremony. If the wife was not a virgin, she must be put to death. (Deuteronomy 22:13)
Marriage of a believer and a nonbeliever is strictly forbidden. (Genesis 24:3)
If a married man dies and leaves no children, his brother must marry the widow. He must then impregnate her so that she might bring up children in the dead brother's name. (Genesis 38:6-10; Deuteronomy 25:5-10)
If a man is caught forcing a virgin woman to have intercourse with him, he may pay her father and she will be his wife. She shall have no say in this matter. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)
A man my kidnap a female of his choice to be his wife. (Judges 21.20-23)
A father may give, by contest, his daughter to the winner to be his wife. (Josh 15.16-17)
If a man dislikes his new bride and her parent's cannot prove her virginity, she is to be stoned to death. (Dt 22.13-21)
A man may take his Aunt to be his wife. ( Exodus 6:20)
Kind of makes you wonder why this group of fat white men wants to use the bible as the 'guiding light' of how to legislate marriage.
So, who wants to marry their Auntie or stone to death the 9 year old that broke her hymen on her bicycle?
