Marriage & the Bible

Does anyone else find it funny & frustrating that the bible doesn't say anywhere that marriage is ONLY between a man and a women?

In fact, it barely says anything about marriage at all.

No. I don't think it matters because it shouldn't have any affect on public policy.

Abraham had lotsa wives (not to be confused with Lot's wife -- that woman would raise any man's blood pressure).

I think you better go back and read it again. You've missed a few verses.

Would that be the one in Bel and the Dragon or the one in Fourth Maccabees?

I don't believe in god. So the bible has no meaning to me at all and should have absolutely no bearing on how my civil rights are dealt with. For all I care it could say marriage is only between a goat and a priest.

I always thought contemporary Christians were all about the New Testament, which is about love, acceptance, and having Jesus in your everyday personal life. Except when it comes to the rights of people who aren't like you, apparently, when a great many turn to the Old Testament, which is filled with murder, intolerance, smiting, and a great many more unpleasant things. I mean, the Gideons only give out the New Testament most of the time; doesn't that mean anything to anybody?

I bet if Jesus were here, he'd be all for gays marrying. I'm not just saying that either, I'm a Christian who genuinely believes Jesus doesn't care what form love takes as long as it's love.

Two priests are in a Vatican bathroom using the urinals.
One of them looks at the other's p*n*s and notices there's a Nicorette patch on it.

He looks at the other priest and says, 'I believe you're supposed to put that patch on your arm or shoulder, not your d!ck.'

The other one replies, 'Well, it's working just fine. I'm down to two butts a day.'
