Yeah, you know who you are. All you radical pro-gay activists who want to limit the rights of heterosexuals, who think that gays are automatically better than heterosexuals. You know who you are, don’t pretend! All you people who say things like “heterosexuals shouldn’t be allowed to marry” or “we should fence off all the heterosexuals” or “heterosexuality is a mental disorder”. All of you people should go fuck yourselves with rusty razor blades.

All three of you.

On the entire fucking planet.

Sure, heterophobes are a serious problem that we should address and they richly deserve this pitting. But you’re ignoring the far more pressing issue of the oppression, discrimination, bigotry and persecution now faced by Christians in the USA.

Government should not be marrying people. Let marriage be a private function of churches, synagogues, and casinos and the problem goes away.

Really? But me and the government of Costa Rica were going to tie the knot this weekend! It’s a modest affair, just my family and a few banana republics in attendance.

For “Stand Your Ground” to apply, can you shoot Santa once he’s trespassing in your house, or does he have to be threatening you with presents?

You have to check for witnesses (don’t want any) and then accuse him of attacking you.

Presents? No, no, no, hes distributing material goods to families in need. He’s threatening you with _socialism_!

I’m too lazy to read 5 posts after half a bottle of cheap rum (thank you, stupid bitch); how did this end up with shooting witnesses? I wanna go back to complaining about the persecution complex of retarded monkey SHITBAGS who have “right to life” in the same way that Terry Schiavo does. I mean, technically there’s _some_ brain activity…

And this is why we must fight efforts to curb global warming. We need to melt that ice cap in order to drop Santa’s Chemical Weapons Workshop into the Arctic Ocean, thus removing the threat.

Personally, I can’t wait to see what kind of slogans the poor, persecuted Christians come up with this year. Last year’s “Santa judges, but Jesus saves!” was particularly funny to me.

Santa does have those Claws . . .

Back to the OP, I believe in the Biblical example of marriage.

Abraham: 3 wive, multiple concubines  
Jacob: 4 wives  
Moses: 2 wives  
Gideon: “Many wives”  
David: 5 named wives plus “more wives and concubines” for at least 22.  
Solomon: 700 wives 300 concubines
