Defending Biblical Marriage (?)

[Shattered Soul]

A friend sent this to me (knowing I think that whatever kind of couple wants to get married should be able to), and I thought I'd pass it on to you folks.



Draft of a Constitutional Amendment to Defend Biblical Marriage


As certain politicians work diligently to prevent marriage between
two people of the same sex, others of us have been busy drafting a
Constitutional Amendment codifying all marriages entirely on
Biblical principles. After all, God wouldn't want us to "pick and
choose" which of the Scriptures we elevate to civil law and which we
choose to ignore:


Draft of a Constitutional Amendment to Defend Biblical Marriage:


* Marriage in the United States of America shall consist of a union
between one man and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam
3:2-5.)


* Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in
addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron
11:21)


* A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a
virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut
22:13-21)


* Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden.
(Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30, 2Cor 6:14)


* Since marriage is for life, neither the US Constitution nor any
state law shall permit divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9-12)


* If a married man dies without children, his brother must marry
the widow. If the brother refuses to marry the widow, or deliberately
does not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be
otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law. (Gen.
38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)


* In lieu of marriage (if there are no acceptable men to be found),
a woman shall get her father drunk and have sex with him. (Gen
19:31-36)


I hope this helps to clarify the finer details of the Government's
righteous struggle against the infidels and heathens among us.
