Congrats Michael Sam!

[Ms Tree]

Well the "Sinner thing" refers to the biblical approach. My point is it seems that based upon the comments here that many of the so called Christians missed the part about foregiveness in Sunday School. Notice how quiet it got when I challenged people on THEIR misadventures.

A lot (not all, not most) of people who quote scripture or what ever to condemn others seem to always miss the part about their own issues.

No scripture can argue with your godless argument that you don't matter.

 

[AdAstraPerAspera]

Leave it to a libtard to concoct an argument using pure fantasy.

 

Still looking in that mirror of vanity, huh? Funny but what you accuse Signals with, is what you are doing. I guess it's OK because nobody knows the troubles you've seen.

But continue to entertain me, by all means because you got me pegged! Bwhahaha!

 
 
oops I touched a nerve.

 

[Ms Tree]

Kind of weird when wen someone starts to refer to themselves in 3rd person.

How does Michael Sams impact the sanctity of marriage?
 
Especially if the one spewing the venom is now on wife $4
 
Can somebody explain ow that works?
 
Anyone! Bueller? Bueller?

 

[Ms Tree]

Who is on wife number 4?

 

[SparrowHawk]

Who is on wife number 4?

 
 
 
NOT ME! 
 
Just making a point regarding finger pointers who are in no position to point fingers

 

[Ms Tree]

I did not figure it was you. That's why I am asking. Is one of these guys on this board on number 4?

 

[signals]

Oh goody, The Gruesome Twosome Lovers are dancing to their own song!
 

oops I touched a nerve.

You must be referring to Falala. No nerve hit here. My skin is thick. But go right ahead and say whatever makes you feel better about yourself.
 

Kind of weird when wen someone starts to refer to themselves in 3rd person.

When wen is weird in itself. It proves your intelligence or lack thereof.

That is great that you two lovers decided to tag team me. If it's a match of wits, you don't have a brain between you both.

They cant have it both way.  I understand their frustration but they need to embrace it and get behind the idea.  Marriage is between two people (currently) and it does not matter what to people as long as they consent.

How do the "mates" plan on consummation?

 

[eolesen]

How do the "mates" plan on consummation?

From a practical matter, that's really only required by the Catholic Church.

From a legal standpoint, a few states in the US still have consummation on the books as a requirement for a marriage to be held as valid; in practice, the only time it probably ever comes up as an issue is when dissolving the marriage, since consummation (or lack therefore of) is one of the limited grounds which can trigger an annulment vs. a divorce.

 

[Ms Tree]

Wait. Back up a second. There were actually laws on the books regarding consuming a marriage? I'm going to have to look that crap up when I have time later.

Yep. There were, and still are. Not sure how current the list below is, but as you can see, they're mostly in the Southern States where the Tea Party controls things:

AS, CO, CT, DE, ID, IL, MI, MN, MT, OH, SC, VT, WI

There are other states who list consummation as grounds for an annulment, but they don't explicitly require it for the marriage to be considered valid.
