Polygamy and the Police State

Well, you missed my whole point my omitting the first half of my sentence:

"Let's face it: IF marriage is about celebrating a relationship of mutual satisfaction and love between adults, there's no reason why it would have to be a man and a woman."

The corollary is that marriage is not just about "celebrating a relationship". It's about creating a family via procreation.

>>It’s about creating a family via procreation.

It’s about the reproductive fitness and survival of a society.

Well, that reminds me — did you ever figure out the relationship between those eunuchs peddling indulgences upon the temple steps and the (police)state-establishment thereof?

>>The corollary is

In Canada - where clergy are imprisoned as result of their failure to articulate a natural rejection of homosexual behavior in non-religious terms?

Queen takes Bishop.

Oops!

[Mrs. Don-o]

Thanks so much for noticing my hat!!

[Mrs. Don-o]

1) Are you LCMS? Hope so! Cool! That's my favorite kind of Lutheran.

2)"In Canada - where clergy are imprisoned as result of their failure to articulate a natural rejection of homosexual behavior in non-religious terms?"

I'm not quite following this. In Canada, people are imprisoned for failing to express their rejection of homosexuality? They are imprisoned for non-religious terms? (Confused pre-coffee look.) Could you explain a bit what you're referring to here?

3) Does this relate to what I said in #21? Or are you thinking of something or somebody else?

Thanks. I'd like to respond better if I could.

I’m speaking in general about the West and that includes Europe and Canada where the power of islam is definitely on the rise.

AFAIK, they have not yet put any biology teachers in jail for teaching reproductive fact.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I have read, mostly in LifeSite News, about Canadian and Swedish preachers being jailed or fined for preaching against the act of sodomy. This is shocking and terrible, and shows disrespect both for Judeo-Christian religious expression, and for the First Amendment rights we so treasure as Americans.

I wonder, would it be a “crime” in these places to teach the short-term and long-term negative social impacts of homosexual practice?

[TArcher]

Canadian and European subjects have never had their rights secured by governance whose specified limited purpose was to do so.

In the USA we are still free, for the time being, to criticize the errors of those who would govern over us.

That difference has always been a burr under the saddle of the USA’s tribal/royal/theocratic FORMER owners.

[I wonder, would it be a “crime” in these places to teach the short-term and long-term negative social impacts of homosexual practice?]

Would it? That is a very good question.
