Nots, not note (hate autocorrect!)

There is a point here. When marriage is not longer the contract for procreation, but is instead a contract for living together and getting tax benefits, what does it matter what the size or combinations are?

Or if a man marries and divorces a series of women then that’s okay despite the fact that Scripture will define this man as a polygamist.

An adulterer, yes. A polygamist, no.

Who supports all the kids, you, or the taxpayers?

De facto polygamy is already an expensive problem.

That is, unless the man has scriptural grounds for the divorce. Then he is neither adulterer nor polygamist if he remarries.

Okay fine. So is adultery illegal?

Most divorces do not satisfy the standards of Scripture.

For that matter, most marriages these days don’t do that either.

Just make sure you are an NFL player.

Then it’s totally okay!

“...but I look forward to continuing the discussions with you.”

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard this in the past year or so, from Obama’s flying monkeys before Congress.

**I want to marry a horse—who are you to say I cannot be happy?***

Ask the horse! “Horse, you want to marry me?” It will say “Neigh”!

I’m going to marry my cat, Rolleiflex camera, Tomorrow (perpetually), and the flavor of lemons.

Why not?

Your cat will flea, tomorrow never comes (or so I’ve heard), lemons are a bitter harvest, the Rolleiflex can picture it though ;)

Polygamous families will be on welfare so fast it will make your head spin. Many wives equals many kids. It worked fine in a pre-industrial economy. Of course on the other hand we are a dying civilization and our Third World replacements will embrace the concept along with their diet of acorns, insects, dog meat, rice and fish heads.

Hey, as far as the state is concerned all you ever needed for all that to happen is for judges, pols, or the voting majority to go for it.

p>the show "Big love" says more about secularist/liberals than it does the actual practice of polygamy....

Tom Hanks, was the executive producer of the polygamy show “Big Love”. His dad was what we would call a serial monogamist. (Probably adulterer). “Tom would later reveal that, by the age of 10, he'd had "three mothers, five grammar schools and ten houses”.

Don’t use one destructive sin to try to justify another. That’s silly.

If I get divorced, I intend to marry a Fleshlight. Cheaper than a wife, won’t ever leave you, and won’t complain about having a headache.
