"New Jersey laws, unlike that of many other states, does not prohibit same sex marriage. In fact, they are silent on the topic. So the marriage laws seem to, in a sense, be aimed at man-woman couples. That's probably the only thing the legislature was thinking about when the statutes were written." Because it isn't explicitly forbidden, it's acceptable? In other words, if our ancestors weren't sufficiently depraved of mind to have envisioned this possibility, we have to live with it? (Sounds like the people who say Jesus must have been OK with abortion and homosexuality since he didn't speak directly against them.)

I was thinking of that stupid argument exactly.
"Well, Jesus never mentioned necrophilia, so it must be okay, right?"
Like a small kid who smears jam all over the walls, with the excuse "You said not to smear peanut butter all over the walls so I thought jam was okay!"
