Leviticus 20:10

And, of course, Ray pointed me toward another honest good-hearted attempt to make the State preserve The Sanctity Of Marriage for us so that we don't have to.

People really ought to mind their own business. If I want to marry my potted bamboo for six weeks, divorce it, and sue it for damages, that's my business (and that of the lawyer who takes the case to separate the Idiot from her Money).

That potted plant was the best thing that ever happened to you, and if you don't realize that now, then you're never going to find another piece of foliage that even comes close.

Well trying explaining that to it. It ran off with the orchid one pot over.

With the (heterosexual) divorce rate at over 50%, and the "sanctity" of marriage turned into a joke by Elvis weddings in Las Vegas, I think that marriage mainly needs protecting from itself.

It's funny how a few gay people can be such a threat to thousands of these bible-thumping idiots.

If I'm following their logic correctly, the best thing I can do is not tell children about marriage at all, lest they eventually get divorced and make Jesus mad at them.

It follows along the same principles as abstinence-only education.

So if we don't teach them about Jesus in the first place, does He still get mad at them if they get divorced later? It seems the best protection is ignorance, the more complete, the better.
