<<<< I see marriage as a contract between two consenting adults. Beyond that, let your religion (if any) define it for you; don’t use your religion to define it for everyone else >>>>>
What an idiot. What about three consenting adults? A consenting adult and a consenting child? How do we know exactly what consent is? Lawyers and academics can define anything in anyway.
Then government forces the rest of us to accept their abnormal behavior as normal.
There was the Supreme Court case of Reynolds vs. the United States, where polygamy, incest, and neglect of children were all ruled illegal regardless of marriage license or state sanctioning of the actions, and they specifically defined the ruling as a means of keeping a common rule for everyone to follow. Only problem is that nowadays, people speak so loudly against the idea of common law, when having a common law actually makes society somewhat decent.
