• Marriage shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5)

• Marriage shall not impede a man’s right to take concubines in  addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)

• A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a  virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)

• Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden.  (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30)

• Since marriage is for life, neither this Constitution nor the constitution of any State, nor any state or federal law, shall be construed to permit divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9)

• If a married man dies without children, his brother shall marry the widow. If he refuses to marry his brother’s widow or deliberately does not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law. (Gen 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)

• In lieu of marriage, if there are no acceptable men in your town, it is required that you get your dad drunk and have sex with him (even if he had previously offered you up as a sex toy to men young and old), tag-teaming with any sisters you may have. Of course, this rule applies only if you are female. (Gen 19:31-36)

Now watch Jon Stewart grill potential 2012 Republican Presidential nominee Mike Huckabee about gay marriage:

If I gave Huckabee the benefit of the doubt for his outrageous argument, and maybe take religion out of the equation, it seems like he’s trying to say that allowing gay marriage would lead to no one having children anymore, as if somehow gay people being allowed to wed might force heterosexual couples to stop having children. I’d like to know his reasoning for such a claim.

If the entire population of the world suddenly became homosexual overnight then yeah I could see how it might lead to the extinction of the human species. But that’s just not going to happen. There will be heterosexuals, homosexuals, and bisexuals no matter how we define marriage. So why is it such a big deal?
