More useful info on "traditional marriage."

Victory Through Lexicography?

Critics of same-sex marriage often argue that its defenders are guilty of seeking to “redefine” marriage.

It is true that the term “marriage” has traditionally been applied, for the most part, to heterosexual unions specifically (though often polygamous ones, a fact such critics persistently pretend to overlook). But it is also true that the term “marriage” has traditionally been applied exclusively to relationships in which the husband held legal authority over the wife – relationships in which the wife was not only subordinated to her husband but actually absorbed into his legal identity.

If we are going to appeal to traditional usage to deny that same-sex partnerships are genuine marriages, then by the same argument we will have to deny that relationships between legal equals can count as marriages. In the traditional meaning of “marriage,” then, there are no married couples in the United States today.

Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. He outdid his father, David, who had 8+ wives and a number of concubines. His mother was Bathsheba, who committed adultery with David, and David then sent her husband to the front lines to be killed. We haven't even gotten into the incest and fratricide yet.

Ain't traditional marriage grand?

I seriously want to punch MS Excel in the nose. This is increasingly my reaction with every.single.interaction I have with it after the last 2 upgrades. Why did they have to take all the intuitive functional aspects of gui-based spreadsheets AWAY?!!!!

I'm trying to move most of mine to google docs, but for some, I just can't.

Point me in the direction of something that needs smashing.

Yay Liese, for fighting the good fight!

Indeed

We could use a couple extra wives and concubines around here. I'm going to talk to DH about a more traditional marriage later. I'll let you know how it goes.

ION, I spilled BBQ sauce on my shirt.

Yeah. But I think my hypothetical dog will be a pug.

ALso claiming the founding fathers were Christian.

Weren't something like 90-95% of them, though?

A bunch of them were Deists, but I disremember the percentages....

Well, weren't the Deists? Which I would call Chrsitian, but I think some of the more evangelical churches use the word christian only to refer to their religion. I have met people who think Catholics are not Christian.
