See what I said about having to endure Rabbi's denialism?
Its like watching a train wreck. I...I just can't look away.
Does he really think we can't read the law just because he denies what it says? What's the pay off for him? He's just burning through credibility like he's feeding books to a bonfire.
I don't get it. Its not like the law is magically going to change just because he closes his eyes.
Burning through credibility=kicking our asses.
Face it. You've got nothing on this thread but misstatements, errors of logic, errors of fact, half truths, falsehoods and deflection.
You have thoroughly lost the argument. Time to pack it in.
Feel free to point out where I have been wrong once- or that you have been right.
Here is the dialogue you and I had- highlighted where you were wrong- and don't have the moral integrity to admit it.
Rabbi: The state has an interest in stable marriages that produce future citizens.
Me: Wisconsin law actually requires that some couples prove that they cannot produce any children together before they will allow them to legally marry.
Where is the state interest there in a 'stable marriage that produces future citizens'?
Rabbi: Bullshit. There is no such law in Wisconsin.
Me:
Wis. Stat. §765.03(1) (permitting first cousins to marry if “the female has attained the age of 55 years
or where either party, at the time of application for a marriage license, submits an affidavit
signed by a physician stating either party is permanently sterile”).
Me:
States which allow First cousin marriages under specific circumstances:
Arizona- if both are 65 or older, or one is unable to reproduce.
Illinois- if both are 50 or older, or one is unable to reproduce.
Indiana- if both are at least 65.
Maine- if couple obtains a physician's certificate of genetic counseling.
Utah- if both are 65 or older, or if both are 55 or older and one is unable to reproduce.
Wisconsin- if the woman is 55 or older, or one is unable to reproduce
So we have 5 states which allow marriage between couples- but only if they are unable to reproduce.
Rabbi: One aberrant case isnt proof of anything.
So how many times are you flat out wrong in this series of posts?
a) You claimed that a law in Wisconsin forbidding marriage to some couples unless they were infertile was BS
b) You claimed one aberrant case was not proof- so I provided you with 5
c) You claimed
The state has an interest in stable marriages that produce future citizens- and have not once addressed the 5 state laws which provide for marriage only if no future citizens can be produced. The State could have forbidden those marriages- but instead chooses to allow those marriages only if they NEVER produce 'future citizens'- what distinguishes those couples from same gender couples?
