Please quote where she has claimed to have all of the answers. Please quote where she has "constantly cited religion and god as defenders of her position", which was your claim before you devolved into snarky one-liners.

Why does it have to be in a form of a commandment? Jesus here described the marriage design in detail. If God intended for gay marriages, Jesus would not have excluded them here:


And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who madethem at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Matthew 19:4-6

So, you object to "if he didn't say it it must be ok" but "If he didn't say it it must NOT be ok" is reasonable?

This doesn't say a man can't have more than one wife.

It also does not say it is the only way it can work.

So, do not divorce your spouse if Matthew 19:4-6 applies to you.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Viz is the go-to guy for both.

It says "wife". Hint: that's not plural.
