Sorry for the lack of clarity - I was arguing that the pro- position advocated by the author of the article was nonsense based on a scriptural argument. Using the Bible to argue in favor of homosexual marriage is much like taking a good chemistry book and trying to convince someone that the atomic weight of oxygen is vastly different from 16.

Personally, I don't give a fig what the Bible says about marriage, and neither should the courts...the Constitution and not the Bible that governs our civic behavior and processes as a nation. As far as personal beliefs and behaviors, you have the right to believe and behave as you choose, but you do not have the right to let your personal predilections dictate other people's fundamental rights as a citizen...
Absolutely! To argue otherwise would be, in the sage words of Issodhos, letting loose one's inner fascist.
