An old man could marry his son so there wouldn’t be any inheritance tax.

"Bravo!"

.

"Who am I to judge?"

I will marry my toaster. We’ve known each other a long time.

That is indeed shocking if you have "known" your toaster in the Biblical sense (I hope you had the sense to at least unplug it first!)

“why four people of opposite sexes could not marry,”

I thought there were only two sexes, Male and Female.
Are queers a different sex than normal people?
Eunich’s like the Obama could be considered a different
sex I guess.

If I want to marry my car and my favorite coffee mug, shouldn’t I be able to?

Of course not! Not at the same time! That would be bigamy, silly!

You will surely get burned in any divorce decree.

It would be discrimination to not allow bigamists to marry more than once./s

Maybe we can allow them to marry more than once, just not at the same time. Then one can be a bigamist without actually committing bigamy.

(Dear God, I should have been a lawyer.)

“The possibilities are endless! /sarcasm”

I don’t see that as sarcasm at all. I see most things as things they will try to push.

....as long as it’s a traditional two slice toaster. We won’t have any of those 4 or 6 slice toaster marriages here! That’s a bridge too far.

Once a marriage is legally defined as being anything other than one man and one woman, there does not exist any legal framework to deny any other combination of genders, persons, and species from entering into a “marriage”.

That is because the standard for having a marriage becomes whatever someone define as love or what makes them happy.

Who can define that for another person?

One the legal standard of one man and one woman equals a marriage is breached, there can be no standard. Every possible standard, ie a marriage is only between two people, two humans, etc, can be successfully challenged and overturned.

This is the red line that society cannot cross without irreversible and unintended consequences.

And it is not up to 3% of the population to dictate to the rest of us what our standard of marriage is to be.

The goal was never gender-deranged marriage.

The goal was always simply the destruction of marriage.

No, the goal was always simply the destruction of Christianity, and with it, Western Civilization.

You broke the code.

The goal is to destroy the exceptionalism of America, which is its Christianity based culture.

The destruction of marriage leads to the destruction of the Christian church in America through hate speech codes, robbing America of any moral power it has to effect the cause of good in the world.

There it is. Alito has made it clear that ruling in favor of gay marriage is effectively a ruling in favor of poly.

I think Alito threw down a much bigger guantlet than that. It won't be just polygamous marriages, there will be no stopping a re-definition of what a "minor" is in order to enable adult/child sexual relationships, for example.

Alito wisely sees where the slippery slope is headed. My guess based on reading all the transcripts is that "gay marriage" is going to pass the USSC with at least 5 votes. Roberts may be the 6th.

This country is morally corrupt. What used to be right (the sanctity and dignity of human life and a marriage blessed by God) is now wrong and whatever makes us feel sexually good is now right.

Jeremiah Wright may have been correct after all: God D*** America.

I've stated it differently, but we're in effect saying the same thing.

The goal has always been the destruction of the Church in America and the elimination of moral absolutes so that what has been traditionally abhorrent behavior becomes the norm.

Again, same thing.

Gay marriage is just a weigh station along the way.
