So is animal sacrifice, and stoning.

I'll believe it when I see God perform a marriage.

nice!
divorce, even *eternal* temple marriage divorce is allowed, so that must also be ordained of god--interesting.

how about marriages performed in the church of satan?

which god

most societies practiced a form of marriage, no matter what gods they believed in... no matter how many gods they believed in...no matter if they even believed in gods

and why?

mainly because of property rights.... to legitimise an 'heir' and to denote succession
even in the bible this is the main reason... note the marked difference between 'wives' and 'concubines'... although they served the same purpose to the male

Are you allowed to prove things with fairy tales during this debate as well?

TBMs love to cite that god married Adam and Steve; therefore.....

Do you get to claim that talking animals are abundant based on the story of the three little pigs?

"That's just something people made up to make themselves feel special."

That applies to most any religious claim.

how did god ordain it? by placing his hands on its head?

MORmON god certainly crapped on marriage when he told Pervert joe to start collecting wives.

OH, to add, I think Betty "America's best Christian" Bowers does a good job of dealing with this question!

Yeah, it's been done to death here, but it is fun to watch every once in a while.

Demonstrate empirically that a god exists, then we can talk about what that god does or doesn't ordain.

I'd change the subject if I didn't want to talk about that statement.

No response.

Re: response to tbm claim "marriage is ordained of god"?

I think monoagamous (SP) relationships are the best for individuals & for society in general.

teaching ppl to learn & grow, to think of other(s) more than self, to learn to overcome/resolve problems-conflicts is by far a better example to children-grandchildren.

divorce hurts others; it's a cheap way out.

I'm NOT defending hurtful (physically or emotionally) relationships.

I am saying that more growth can come from stable relationships if not marriages.
