"I think looking at the judicial responses, the definition of marriage is not going to "owned" by any one single religion. "It is a forgone conclusion that if this ever gets to the SCOTUS, there is only one way it will go.   Schelli 14 months ago

No doubt. 'Religion' speaks to all religions. I have no illusions about the fact people do not look deeply enough into the fabric to see which threads lead to persecution.   Skylight 14 months ago

Yes the "defense of marriage" folks are fighting a rather hopeless rear guard(no pun intended) action. It's reminiscent of the 60's when all of those righteous people flailed against integration. The flimsy proposition that folks randomly "choose" to be gay is so readily punctured, that those opposed to gay marriage are doomed to inevitable defeat. If gays are indeed born, not made, then gay marriage is a CIVIL RIGHTS issue. It's equivalent to a segregationist justifying segregation with the argument that "colored" folks choose to be black!   stanleybmanly 14 months ago

How about the union of a man and multiple women?Btw, I found it interesting how little US law cares about whether someone who wants to get married is already married or not.   Globi 14 months ago

Well, I mean, duh. It's about time the courts stepped in and set the neanderthals from the 17th century straight. Equal rights for all; even thoughs you don't agree with.   Schelli 14 months ago

The story of the Garden of Eden is an allegory. It explains how humans fell from a state of innocence to one in which they must suffer during life and eventually die. allegory literary and artistic device in which characters represent an idea or a religious or moral principle The peoples of ancient Mesopotamia* also believed in an earthly paradise named Eden, located somewhere in the east. According to some ancient sources, the four main rivers of the ancient Near East?the Tigris, Euphrates, Halys, and Araxes?flowed out of the garden. Scholars today debate the origin of the word Eden. Some believe it comes from a Sumerian* word meaning "plain." Others say it is from the Persian word heden, meaning "garden." - Myth Encyclopedia - mythology, god, story, names, ancient, tree, world, represent, life, children   Chowfan.Jexebellion 14 months ago

I pay no attention to these articles and rulings. Some judges have ruled the act is constitutional; some have ruled the act unconstitutional. None of it matters until the question is accepted by the Supreme Court and their ruling is made.   charlie95 14 months ago
