Again you are ignoring/dodging the point, which is this; The reason we (meaning the culture of the United States) permit and have always permitted non-fertile women to get married, even though it does not accomplish the primary and secular purpose of benefiting society through children, is because of the ubiquitous religious based understanding of the Abraham and Sarah experience from the Bible. This understanding is reflected in our Laws.

Do you have a comment that addresses this point?

You could say "No it isn't", and offer an alternative theory, but going into side issues is of no value in helping us understand what we are seeing.

I already addressed your various points and claims: you cannot pick and choose which of God’s laws you will follow. Nor can you claim one of God’s existing laws justify the absence of a US law. As people pointed out, using Abraham can justify polygamy.

Civil laws and religious laws are separate, regardless of token efforts like Congress recognizing Noahide laws.

Christianity isn’t the United States of America’s official religion. It’s the majority religion of it’s citizens.

I understand you have a hard time separating sins against God, so I’m going to reiterate one can repent to God for homosexual acts.

I don’t agree with the SCOTUS’ judicial activism and support this woman’s stand against it, but that doesn’t mean I agree with your distorted viewpoint.
