whittier christians try to justify legislation and constitutional
amendments that define marriage is between one and one woman they often say
that the reason why they're doing this because they're against the redefinition
of marriage
this of course is quite disingenuous because the fighting marriages between
one man and one woman
is the itself be redefinition of marriage from the beginning of marriage
as a practice he has always included polygamous marriages in its definition
when you look at the many thousands of years that marriage has been practiced
this definition of marriage as being only between one man and one woman is
relatively new seeing marriage is being exclusively monogamous is a very
christian thing to do and the scriptural basis of christian monogamy is somewhat
unclear there's certainly nothing in the old testament that defines marriage as
monogamous there are a ton of characters in the old testament some of whom are
heroes of judaism like abraham who were polygamous polygamy is really mentioned
in the new testament but it's not explicitly for big neither but nowhere
in the old testament or the new testament is marriage explicitly define
jazz monogamous so these laws and amendments to the state constitutions in
the u_s_ borough
people say they are aimed at preventing the redefinition of marriage ironically
outright redefine marriage to say that marriage is between one man and one
woman izzy radical redefinition of marriage so redefinition is not really
what christians are afraid of when you ask a fundamentalist christian what they
think the danger of gay marriages they don't really give an explicit example
data speaking these big generalized platitudes about how changing the
definition of marriage itself is dangerous but the reason why they don't
give specific examples about what harm is going to be done is because the real
harm that they actually fear is being made to feel kiki and christian
fundamentalists have long been under the impression that is something makes them
feel liike it should be for bidding for everyone
