Marital Status
Choose an option that best describes your marital status (The Married icon is for access to the Marriage Ministry forum which is available to those who are married, defined as a legal union between one man and one woman).

Marriage is another invention of religion - is certainly not a biological necessity - and is not even consistent in the bible - where polygamy was the rule BCE. THere are very few species in which pairs stay together for life - and it doesn't even happen often in humans as well.
THere is NOTHING that says that christians invented it - they did not. BUT in a christian forum - a marriage is between a man and a woman because that is what christianity specifies it to be. That does not make them right - but then they do not accept reality anyway!
WHY would it surprise YOU that in a Religious forum - they would define something the way their RELIGION defines it.? Religion has been and always will be a basis for discrimination - if you do not accept their position -= they are ANTI - YOU!
To be frank I wasn't expecting anything regarding anybody's marital status. I posted that here because I was rather bemused by the fact that you see stuff openly in Christian forums, when they scream persecution constantly.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
