Long time since last post, but received this and had to put it up...

Ok, so for those of you who know, and for those who don't, I'm currently serving as the chair of the Spokane County Young Democrats. As such I am Also a member of the Executive Board of the Spokane County Democratic Central Committee. So, what does this mean? Well I aside form a lot of time out of my schedule, it also includes receiving a few interesting emails here and there from fellow members of the SCDCC Exec board. One regarding same sex equal rights just had to be posted, and as such, here it is... and for those of you who don't know me very well, I post this very much in the vein of sarcasm.

The subject of "biblical marriage" came up recently at home - and my
Father in law ( the presbiterian minister) sent me this to "clirify"
the true biblical position. He collected it a long time ago. It's an
oldie, but still worth reminding folks of.

Subject: Draft of a Constitutional Amendment to Defend Biblical Marriage

As certain politicians work diligently to prevent marriage between two
people of the same sex, others of us have been busy drafting a
Constitutional Amendment codifying all marriages entirely on biblical
principles. After all, God wouldn't want us to "pick and choose" which
of the Scriptures we elevate to civil law and which we choose to
ignore:

Draft of a Constitutional Amendment to Defend Biblical Marriage:

* Marriage in the United States of America 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, 2Cor 6:14)

* Since marriage is for life, neither the US Constitution nor any state
law shall permit divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9-12)

* If a married man dies without children, his brother must marry the
widow. If the brother refuses to marry the 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 to be found), a
woman shall get her father drunk and have sex with him. (Gen 19:31-36)

I hope this helps to clarify the finer details of the Government's
righteous struggle against the infidels and heathens among us."
