which coincidentally is exactly what Islam allows...not that I wish to detract from your main point.
Polygamy is an entirely seperate issue from homosexuality and pedophilia.
Just for reference, the Bible cites many instances of men having more than one wife. Abraham and Jacob each had two, Solomon had hundreds. Homosexuality, on the other hand, is condemned throughout the Bible, without exception.
Really? How many times do you think homosexuality is actually mentioned in over 37,000 verses in the Bible?
Abraham had only one wife-Sarah. She was his half-sister.
He also had sex with his wife's slavewoman Hagar. He also had childen by his many concubines.
Yet another person who has not read the whole Bible and just parrots what he is told.
What right? There is no "Right" to get married and add your gay lover to your health insurance plan ... where is that right documented and guaranteed?
Show me this right?
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Why are you using the argument that anyone who does not agree with gay marriage must also promote genocide?
By the way you do know that Indians used genocide against other Indian tribes don't you? They would raid other tribes, kill the men and take the children and women as slaves.
How Biblical. That's almost what YAHWEH commanded his people to do.
Except they were ordered to kill the boy children as well as the adult women who were not virgins, but to keep all the young virgin girls for themselves. (plus YAHWEH demanded his share of the human booty).
How about the Roman Empire? They thrived for centuries despite allowing gay marriage. When Christianity took hold in the Roman Empire, same sex marriage was banned (in 342 by the Theodosian Code) - followed shortly by the demise of Roman society.
Followed by 1000 years of the Dark Ages where the Church of Rome spread it's State religion by forcing people to convert, tortured "heretics", burnt down libraries full of priceless knowledge etc etc etc.
As opposed to the Ancient Greek Civilization which lasted over a 1000 years and spread science, the arts, philosophy, sports and of course Democracy throughput the Mediterranean and Europoean regions and is considered the foundation of Western Civilization.
Proof of Americas Values are slowly going down the drain..

I think it's proof that American is getting some decent moral values.
