If you had to choose one as being more natural, polygamy is more natural than homosexual “marriage.”

I want to marry my shoe, and I care not now who knows it!

I though the laws against incest were to prevent mental and other abnormalities. Does incest apply to male/male and female/female “marriage” where there are no offspring? If not brothers and sisters, fathers and sons, and mothers and daughters should be able to “marry.”

What if a person "marries" themselves? What are the tax ramifications, etc? The definition of the word has been obliterated. What is "marriage"? 0, 1, ∞

I honestly can’t come up with a legal argument against it which looks like it would hold water.

Nor can I.

Obvious from the start, polygamy and more significantly, "minor love," are on the way in. As for Christianity, and Judeo-Christian morality generally, it is on the way out.

It even goes beyond incest. How about pedophilia being legal? No child will be safe. And, you had better believe that those kinds of perverts are out there.

Then there is sex with animals. Is that next?

This whole thing is a slippery slope. With this bunch of perverts on the court they will be able to that in the Constitution as well.

Hamilton, Jefferson, Franklin, et.al, are rolling in their graves.

"Nor can I."

The court has basically adopted a nihilist position. How could you even argue against murder using their presuppositions? According to Bill Nye, the Science Guy, we are all just yammering blobs of protoplasm, and any notion of human rights or human dignity is sheer fantasy, religious superstition.

We will not likely allow polygamy again in the USA. The Mormons learned their lesson (Utah didn’t become a state until 1896, only after the LDS church finally banned ploygamy), and even the LGBT community is queasy about the whole idea.

Our pastor advised us that when debating people about homosexual marriage, etc, we simply respond with a question, “What makes anything right or wrong?”

This is true. The Supreme Court of Eminations and Penumbras has not merely redefined "marriage", but has rendered it undefined, leaving the door open for unlimited possibilities. These "judges" are not only judicial activists: they're judicial anarchists.

On what basis can it be denied?
