Default OT - In Defense of Religious Marriage

I don't know what Bible you're looking at but the King James version has
virtually no connection to the passages you cite, or, your citings are so
completely out of context that they are meaningless. For example, your
point C seems to state that virgins shall be executed. If you actually took
the time to look this up you would see that the woman was getting stoned for
*LYING* about being a virgin. The next verse talks about stoning the man if
he cheats on his wife. Etc...

I'm not advocating either side of this issue other than to point out that
your particular post is nothing but a bunch of contrived crap, which I'm
sure is designed to specifically to take a cheap shot at religious
principles in general.

Here is a proposed Constitutional
Amendment codifying marriage entirely on biblical
principles:

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

B. 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)

C. 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)

D. Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be
forbidden. (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh
10:30)

E. Since marriage is for life, neither this
Constitution nor the constitution of any State, nor
any state or federal law, shall be construed to permit
divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9)

F. If a married man dies without children, his brother
shall marry the widow. If he refuses to marry his
brother's 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)

Think about it! Does this sound like the America that you want to live

in?
Do you think that codifying marriage entirely on biblical principles is

a
good idea?
