When you argue for a return to “the Biblical definition of marriage”


…you are either grossly and disgustingly misinformed about your own holy book or you are an unbelievably cruel and vile human being.

When you argue for a return to “the Biblical definition of marriage” you are arguing for forcing victims of rape to marry their rapist (Deuteronomy 22:28-29), stoning non-virgin women to death if their husband demands it (Deuteronomy 22: 20-21), forcing slaves (yup!  slaves!)  to marry each other – oh, but YOU get to keep the wife and kids when you let the man go (Exodus 21:4), selling your daughter into slavery, and giving her master the opportunity to marry her (Exodus 22: 7-8), forcing widows to marry and be impregnated by their brother-in-law (Gen. 38:6-10), and encouraging men to leave their wife and family to follow Jesus (Mark 10:28-30).


So… I guess you’re right.  These modern-day “perversions” of allowing people to have consensual sex with whomever they choose, allowing people to marry whomever they choose, and divorce if they want or need to really undermines the institution of Biblical marriage.  ~JJ

    Given some of the “BIBLICAL MARRIAGE!!!” advocates’ stances on things other than equal marriage, I fully believe that...

About

Avatar I'm JJ. Female. If you hang out with me you'll get thoughts on atheism, secular parenting, ethics, feminism and politics (liberal, pro-choice) and occasionally excerpts from conversations with my 8-year-old son (there's a link below for most of the conversations and parenting posts). I don't accept anonymous asks, but if you request a private response, I will oblige. Also, because I get asked a lot, my url comes from the phrase "Teach children HOW to think, not WHAT to think." That's my parenting philosophy in a nutshell.
