It has all been legal in the USA at one time or another.
  1. polygamy in Utah
  2. bestiality - currently in Washington State
  3. prepubescent marriage - Through out the south

Courting is still more or less legal.

Last year someone died in Washington State from a rupture caused by a horse.
It was in the news and the article stated that it was legal there so long as there was NO PROOF that the animal did not like it.

If polygamy is based on love, respect, and consent - it can work within certain parameters.

In my opinion - sex is a PRIVATE issue.

When it is in the public's face - it loses it's personal value.
At that point in infringes on the personal values of others just like smoking in public does.

That effects the rights of others who do not wish to be exposed to second hand desires.

By your thinking then, an atheist shouldn't be able to get married. And yet they do. They go down to the courthouse and have a Judge perform the ceremony--so your assertion that it's only a religious thing has sprung a serious leak. We have already made provisions for marriage in a non-religious way, and so I go back to saying that what happens between two consenting adults is not something for the state to interfere with.

This is laughable if it weren't so sad. You've openly admitted to having no principles. As long as you can pretend it doesn't exist, you're fine with it.

What a sad and pathetic little man you are.

If I don't like something, I won't tolerate it. Period.

But these things don't bother me, therefore I see no reason to be ashamed of them or have laws against them.

If something bothers you then fight back like a man. Stop being a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*).

Go forth and "A" sexually multiple ....

You are mistaking me for a mindless dweeb which in itself is YOUR ERROR!

What I am saying is that what is going on behind closed doors is nothing I am privee to ...

if you know what is going on - then you are in THAT mix which has become a problem ...

You can't even begin to put that stuff on me ... I have been fighting this fight for several decades.

A big part of this problem stems from the rejection of the Bible teaching us that
... woman is NOT to teach nor usurp authority over man ...

That is the breakdown of a valued societal structure which is ALSO why Islam hates us ...

Are you going to cry now like a little baby?


I'm just saying, either fight or take it in the ass. There's only two types of people. The giver and the reciver. Which one are you?


Sometimes even the best of us got to be recivers, but you seem to be trying to break a record of it.

I don't care if people agree or disagree with me, but I can't stand it when people want to have an opinion but aren't willing to shank or get shanked for it.

In the real world that does not apply ...
with that attitude - you will be back in prison quickly.

It seems absurd now, but there was a man and woman who were taken to jail for being married, and of different ethnic backgrounds. Actually, I should further clarify and say the law was geared more towards whites intermingling with other races.

I don't particularly care either way for gay marriage, but I know that just because I don't agree with it, doesn't mean I'm going to try and force people to accept my way of life.

spoken like an adult , I tend to agree with you , I say let them enjoy the benifits of marriage lol !!!

I agree with everything you have said in this thread....

Im an atheist, me and my wife went down to Vegas and actually got married by the same guy that married off Britney Spears and that one idiot she married for like a day before she divorced him.

My marriage is every bit as legal as those who are full blown religious and get married in a highly religious ceremony.

Did I also mention that we had a daughter who was 4 years old at the time who we clearly had out of wedlock *gasp* lol.

So far we haven't been struck by lightning, no tragic events have happened in our lives and no dark clouds are following us around. LOL.

Marriage is no longer a religious thing. That is a very good thing in my opinion.
