From a theological perspective, marriage primarily involves a covenant-keeping relationship of mutual self-giving that reflects God’s love for us. The evidence we’ve considered here indicates that marriage is only secondarily—and not necessarily at all—about having biological children. Same-sex couples’ inability to procreate does not exclude them from fulfilling the Bible’s basis for marriage.

Some of the assless chap-wearing wide stance members of Patnet that doth protest too much probably will disagree, of course.

Same-sex couples have been getting married for thousands of years.

Across any nation and any culture it boils down to a man and woman
who get married and produce a "blood" offspring to carry the family name. This is has been true for thousands of years. Else we would all be Bastards... But we are not.

Its all about the family and 'Blood Ties"... So called "Gay Marriage" does not produce a blood relative.

African countries women are allowed to take wives of their own.

Nope... you are confusing Polygamy in Africa ... the man is the husband vs women being wives. The wives do not take another wife in such African tribal practice.

BTW, they are also slavers.. i guess we should do all the wrong things they are also doing.

Genesis 19:1-13.

The wicked men of Sodom attempted a homosexual rape of two messengers from God who had come to visit Lot. As a result of this and other widespread wickedness, God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah in a storm of fire and brimstone.

You wont believe this, but one of my tenants are lesbians. They make a lot of money, and pay rent on time. I had the hots for one of them, she is so sexy I saw her in my dreams. Just my luck, she had the hots for my wife.
What a waste.

Romans 1:25-27

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-- who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

@thomaswong.1986, maybe you should engage "The Professor" in a debate about God's role in the destruction of 9/11. The Professor asked where did all the people go, perhaps you can argue they were all "raptured up."

So why would we allow post-menopausal women to get married then? What about men over 39, who increasingly have defective sperm as time goes on? What about intersex people?

Most of the gays are economically better off than the average straight person. This probably doesn't help the jealousy of the assless chap types.

"Kevane (2004) estimates that approximately 5–10 percent of the women in Africa are involved in woman-to-woman marriages. Traditionally, woman marriage has served as an avenue through which women exercise social influence and patronage in societies where inheritance and succession pass through the male line. In such societies, woman marriage makes it possible for women to gain social status as the head of the household."

Such marriages have not traditionally been considered lesbian marriage, because the relationship is not necessarily sexual, but they are definitely female-female marriages. South Africa is currently the only African country where male couples can get married.

As for Paul, by his own account he was a persecutor of the early Christians, and even after his "conversion" he continued to disagree with most of them. He wrote that women must not speak out above men (sorry, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, but Paul didn't want you running for President or even Governor), or cut their hair short, etc. If you quote Paul as an authority without following all of what he wrote, then you're a hypocrite. If you quote Paul and follow all of what he wrote, then you're rejecting the original disciples with whom he disagreed. The Roman Empire permitted freedom of religion until Constantine decided to impose Christianity, and the early Christians disagreed about many things; then Constantine locked their leaders in a room and refused to let them out until they conformed to one uniform doctrine; they agreed, and the early church rose and fell in that moment, as it rose to power but fell in every other way.

Bible prohibits sodomy and warns against it.
Bible also prohibits murder, gluttony and greed.

It's an old document made to guide folks through life, to help them. Most people ignore quite a few things on that list these days.

Bible prohibits....

many things, mostly other religions, also wealth disparity including especially debt, but the first story on Forthood's list reflects his fapping obsession. The actual story was about inhospitality, the rape of guests, and had nothing to do with marriage, but Forthood and Bop69 have only one thing on their stunted minds; the two of them should really get a room.

Yes, and whenever I meet a woman in any aspect of life, business, social, court appearance, hospital, etc., I make sure she is not currently menstruating. And if she is, I make sure she touches no one until she brings two doves or two young pigeons to be sacrificed for her uncleanliness as god intended. Personally, I prefer doves, but pigeons are much more common in most places.

25“ ‘When a woman has a discharge of blood for many days at a time other than her monthly period or has a discharge that continues beyond her period, she will be unclean as long as she has the discharge, just as in the days of her period. 26Any bed she lies on while her discharge continues will be unclean, as is her bed during her monthly period, and anything she sits on will be unclean, as during her period. 27Anyone who touches them will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

28“ ‘When she is cleansed from her discharge, she must count off seven days, and after that she will be ceremonially clean. 29On the eighth day she must take two doves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 30The priest is to sacrifice one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement for her before the Lord for the uncleanness of her discharge.

- Leviticus

Pregnancy over 50 is far more common than you think all over and around the world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy_over_age_50

Bare foot and pregnant... been going on for a long time..

Elizabeth Greenhill, born 1615, who had 39 children with her husband William Greenhill, gave birth to her last child, future London surgeon Thomas Greenhill, in 1669 at the age of 54, having conceived naturally.

Completely irrelevant to my point -- I said "post-menopausal women" -- by definition, this extremely small percentage of the population you're talking about would not be post-menopausal if it's a natural birth or they are not procreating themselves because they are using IVF and many are using donor eggs typically. In any case, pregnancy over 50 is *exactly* as common as I think it is, according to that shitty Wikipedia article.

Infertile people should also not be able to get married according to this flawed thinking, of course.

A lot of laws we have are laws to prevent the evils of the bible.....killing a disobedient son, stoning an adulteress to death, persecuting gays, burning witches at the stake, slavery. These can only be described as evil. We need common sense secular laws to prevent this evil.

There is no "common sense". Bible and the teachings of Christ gives a life meaning and creates common sense for a common man to follow in this world. It teaches a man to live a good life, a better life. A greater goal to strive for.

When we go to church they don't talk about stoning anyone or persecuting someone. Don't base your perception of the church on something you see in the movies, it's not like that.
