Some slippery slopes are really slippery.
The logical implication of a believe does not always work itself out in the real world, but it often does. The logic behind the argument for same-marriage leads to the acceptance also of polygamy. But does this logic work out in reality?
Rod Dreher points out how the prophecies that it does are already coming true.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
With six you get egg rolls.
ReplyDeleteI do not understand why polygamy is more offensive to Christians than gay marriage. Polygamy was established in the Old Testament, and God accepted it enough to at least bless various kings with many wives (if you take that part literally). The purpose of polygamy is the production of children. So what's the big deal?
