Let's ban all Christian Marriage. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 07/08/2010 06:36:13 AM
Marriage is not a right, it is never referred to as such in the Constitution. And now, as secular Americans outnumber believers, join me, sisters in brothers, in passing our law to ban the depraved practice of Christian Marriage from our fair state.

Though there are some among you who, of course, wish to make even the practice of Christianity a crime, such a law would never pass in todays society. They are people, after all, and they have rights, granted right there in the constitution. They are free to do whatever depraved things they wish with other Christians, so long as we don't have to see it.

But there is no right to marriage, and so this should not be granted to them. We will pass our law defining marriage as a contract between two atheists. Allow them their social unions, if they must, but marriage is to be denied them.

Our reasons are simple. Christians teach Christianity to their children. And why would we want that? Christians are well known as teachers of intolerance, aggressors in wars, and destroyers of cultures. We have the "missions" to the Native Americans, the snipers outside of abortion clinics, a laundry list of wars that can be laid at their feet. They even have a doctrine all their own which they go so far as to insist should be obeyed above even the laws of the lands, making them ideal seditionists.

Without the taint of Christian Marriage incorporating strange customs, odd dress, and weird words into what is a government approved socio-economic partnership, we will gain a cessation to their endless cries of judgment and intolerance, and will know that the children will be raised without such horrible influences. True, some children may yet be raised by Christians, but they will do so in the knowledge that their parents are not in full compliance with their own teachings, and so shall this great aggressor and oppressor of peoples finally be confined, so that those who follow its depraved ways will harm no one except each other.

Ignore the cries of those who claim that selecting a certain lifestyle preference for exclusion from what to others is a basic socio-economic institution raises a dangerous precedent. We are the people of the United States of America and we live in a democracy, and we have learned well to fear the teachings of Christ and those who follow him. We will pass this law, and decry any who stand in our way as anti-democratic activists.

It is the will of the people that matters. Right?

That would only be appropriate if Christians wanted to ban secular unions of normal people. - 07/08/2010 11:51:29 AM 1325 Views

A lot of the arguments would seem to justify polygamy and incest too - 08/08/2010 11:51:24 PM 995 Views
And what is wrong with polygamy? *NM* - 09/08/2010 10:36:53 AM 524 Views
Did I say there was anything? - 09/08/2010 11:03:10 AM 1108 Views
Plolygamy and incest are not on the same level of bad. - 09/08/2010 11:00:07 AM 1053 Views

It should be noted again... - 09/08/2010 08:59:32 PM 1102 Views
and how is it not a right? - 09/08/2010 09:19:12 PM 980 Views

and the Constitution dictates nothing about marriage. *NM* - 10/08/2010 11:46:24 PM 501 Views
That means it is up to the people. And they say "No." *NM* - 11/08/2010 03:13:12 PM 506 Views
No, but it does dictate things about rights and discrimination - 12/08/2010 03:48:02 PM 1146 Views
