From a legal standpoint, the federal courts have been overturning state definitions of marriage. This means that legally speaking, they are setting legal precedents that the states have no right or legal authority to define marriage.
So with that legal reasoning established, it seems to me just a matter of time until we have legal polygamy, cousin marriage, brother/sister, and groups of people claiming marriage rights.
This is an important point. If the courts are ruling that states cannot define marriage, then there is no definition of marriage. Which means that polygamy, triads, group marriage will eventually be legally recognized.
The government hardly seriously goes after polygamists nowadays anyways, a lot of these groups also see themselves as not part of the U.S. even though they live within U.S. territory. Go figure, because if a general tea partier is more dangerous then one of these people who blatantly consider themselves not Amerocan, we really are living in Bizarro World.
This is HORRIFYING. From USA Today, so ...
Freedom not Sodom!
There’s freedom in America, the land of the red white and blue;
but there still must be laws, things you just can’t do.
You can’t marry your sister, your brother, or the family pet;
a sheep, or a goat - at least not yet!
That how is it with homosexuality, what the Bible calls sodomy;
men lying with men as with women, is perversity!
That they’re not designed that way, tis easy to perceive,
but yielding to sinful desires, man is soon deceived.
A moral wrong is not a civil right; like the sin itself, that’s confusion;
calling evil good and exchanging light for darkness, is sure delusion!
History tells us where this will lead, from societies now in dust,
When a nation casts off the laws of God, and follows it’s own lusts.
Promoting a sin which sends one to Hell from an early grave,
dishonors God and robs man of the Life He gave.
There’s but one answer: the Risen Jesus gave Himself for our sins;
Repent and believe, then truly follow Him!
