 Really? Now, you know you have been having mental lapses here. I have proven several before. And the one you did just the other when you said you forgot what Ryan had said on channel 6, just moments after you heard him say it.

 

So, I forgot it for a moment.   Wasn't worth thinking about long enough to recall at the time.   But for the record here it is.

Lyin Ryan mentioned that for thousands of years marriage has been defined as between one man and one woman.

 

He ignores all the multiple wives in the Bible.   A Google search can come up with 40 cases.   Solomon was said to have 700 or 1000 if you count concubines.

 

He ignores all the multiple wives in Islamic countries.

It's been common since the founding in 1610 and common to date.

 

He ignores all the multiple wives in Sub-saharan Africa.

These people have had multiple wives since pre-history and do so yet today.   Well before Islam penetrated that area.   And now even in, so-called, Christian nations.

 

He ignores the multiple wives in early China.

It was common among the ruling class.

 

He ignores the multiple wives of Romney's ancestors.

Mitt's great grand father had 5.   The youngest died in 1947, a few months after Mitt was born.

What's your point?  It must be important?

The "for thousands of years" bit, I believe - in Ryan's case, is related to the teachings of Jesus regarding marriage as outlined in the New Testament.  (Which supposedly occured a couople thousand years ago).  (I understand Ryan is a strict Catholic)

 

I'm copying this from another source for expediacy:
"And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
He answered them, "What did Moses command you?"
They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away."
And Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.'  'Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."

And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. And He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
Mark 10:2-11 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2010:2-11&version=47)

So, obviously, before you can ask for a divorce, you have to be married, since divorce is the negation of marriage. Jesus defined marriage as a male and a female leaving their parents, and joining together to become one flesh.

 

Pretty clear to me.  He evidently didn't say "males" and "females" (plural).

So, when we write something adressing the women in certain men's lives, without any exemptions or exceptions or exclusions being cited; that means all women in that person's life are included, right? Wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, etc, etc....because what was written has no such exceptions; right?


Uh, oh! Looks like she's sucking up some wind for defense now, since she never commented after my post during her normal hatred evening speak. What is she thinking?

 

Mallcontent!: Oh, God, did I really post that all women in BB's life are sluts? No, I really didn't leave myself open to that, did I? Did I really relate daughter, sister, etc., in my diatribe?

 

Did I?

 

Ha! BB has every post saved........
