Who says that? -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 13:17 16
- A lot of people say gays already have the right to marry (that is, marry women). -- nm - mara Nov 13, 13:20
- It's the redneck argument. "If they want to get married, they should marry women, like God intended!" -- nm - Mop Nov 13, 13:19 14
  - So much for the idea of a coherent argument -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 13:22 10
    - My point exactly. The "redneck argument" isn't coherent. It's emotional and kneejerk. Anti-gay activists may have good reason for what they do... - Mop Nov 13, 13:27 9
      - its an abombination, says so right cheer inna bible -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 13, 13:32 7
        
        The number of things the Bible puts forward, but current teaching ignore, could fill a book. -- nm - TWuG Nov 13, 13:34 6
        
        That depends. The Bible is in part historical in such that much if it isn't meant to be read in that light anymore -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 13:38 4
        
        So who decides what is historical (and thus no longer meaningful) and what isn't? -- nm - TaurusII Nov 13, 13:45 1

        sure. a lot of the dietary restrictions, for example, make sense for a pre-technological world, from a public health perspective. -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 13:40 1
        
        pretty much all of Leviticus is just a guide to keeping a very small number of people dying off. - Guy Nov 13, 13:51
        
        as a matter of fact, it does fill a book. it's called the Bible... :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 13:34
      - I don't agree with it, but I disagree that it isn't coherent. - TFox Nov 13, 13:30
  - oh ouch, you had to use that word. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 13:22 2
    - What would you prefer? Appalachian-Americans? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 13:26
    - He didn't say redhead -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 13:23
