Gay marriage is currently threatening the fundamental unit of society, the family.<BR/><BR/>article6blog.com mentions, "You know what - throughout history, the church has established marriage, and in this country and some others, the government simply chose to put its imprimatur on it - because it was the very foundation of society. This is really more about politics sticking its nose in religion’s business."Officer Leeroyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16660912739308505050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14002035.post-59927188637185913332008-06-28T12:48:00.000-07:002008-06-28T12:48:00.000-07:00Yep, it's ironic... Still, the word polygamy is: <BR/><BR/>“from L.L. polygamia, from Late Gk. polygamia "polygamy," from polygamos "often married," from polys "many" + gamos "marriage" (see gamete). Not etymologically restricted to marriage of one man and multiple women (technically polygyny), but often used as if it were.”<BR/>( polygamy. (n.d.). Online Etymology Dictionary. Retrieved June 28, 2008, from Dictionary.com website: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/polygamy.)<BR/><BR/>At least the Mormon definition did not disallow marriage entirely. This is what California has done. There is no more marriage in California law... That's the only way gays and married folks can be equal under the law. Why? Because gay folks can't get married, can't be husband and wife.paulbenedicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06708124992338283169noreply@blogger.com
