How did people in parts of the world without the bible come to start marrying, then? What is the government if it isn’t “the will of the people”? OK, I got my slap in… who’s next? [/QUOTE] And since when is what’s “biblically ordained” subject to the will of the people? Pat seems a little confused. ---
