Amen Sister!  I am a devoted Christian who also takes a very libertarian view of government’s role in society.  I came to the same conclusion as you, but you’ve expressed it much better.

I can’t *wait* for you enlightened folks to draft future legislation so a woman can divorce her husband… and his other 2 wives… and still retain her rights, children, and property under community property laws (all across state lines).

Throw out a thousands-year-old tradition spanning civilizations, and that is exactly what you will get. (Suddenly after millenia we somehow just “know better”—yeah, right.)

(It goes like this: “Who says marriage or unions are only between TWO people? Who are *you* to say, if they luv each other?”)

Our side was right all along, wasn’t it, when we said gays wanted to “destroy” what they now snidely call “quote-unquote marriage” and mock religion. In the past, they lied and said that wasn’t so—they just wanted equality. (Read the tone of that article again if you missed that.)

I think some of you actually are praying to a flying spaghetti monster. The only consolation is, if you get your wish, you will be trying to procreate in expensive laboratories, instead of in bed, under a system of government-run health care. That’ll put a little crimp in your family planning, won’t it?

Gee, life will be so complicated in our future science-fiction world…!
