Really? When has anyone in the West practiced polygamy who wasnt a Muslim? Never. Fail of an argument.It's an awful argument that Justices unilaterally rewriting 2000 years of human experience open the door to marriage having any meaning anyone wants? No, that might be one o fhe strongest arguments.
Actually, marriage has been for most of history a transfer of property - the woman - from one family to another. That's why they used to stone women who weren't virgins on their wedding night, just like the bible says.
So the "Appeal to tradition" doesn't hold any water, really Rabbid.
Do you have any arguments against gay marriage other than "God says it's wrong" and "I think it's icky when it's two dudes."
Didn't think so.
Nope. Especially when polygamy has been so prevalent in the past. Clearly, the definition of marriage has changed with the times.
ANd don't count Rabbi out yet. I'm sure he's got several 'irrefutable' arguments that he'll vaguely allude to. But insist he doesn't actually have to show you. Invisible evidence is kind of his thing.
