Discussion for article #235845
Fuck you and your bronze age mythology, Huck.
Don’t like Gay marriage?
Don’t gay marry.
Best ever description of “traditional marriage.”
There has got to be some good jokes in this one… what circuit does God sit on etc…etc…
and is his robe black?
Actually, it can. If you listen to these folks, it already threw his Bronze Age ass out of the classroom.
BANG THAT GAVEL, JUDGE!
I’m sure the mullahs, rabbis and priests on the High Court agree with him…but Huckafuck, a pluralistic society should be able to include more than your narrow world view.
Huck has a good point – the Supreme Court can’t overrule God. That’s why the separation of church and state matters: the Court can’t tell churches to marry same sex couples, but it can tell states and the feds to grant licenses.
Anyhow, it’s not at all clear that there were marriages at the time the Bible was written in 700 BC or so. In fact, the newly discovered Gospel which refers to Mary Magdeline as Jesus’ “wife” depends upon a translation of a term that isn’t exactly equivalent to “wife”. Someday, we won’t have to get involved in these discussions.
How about overruling the false Apostle Paul? Wait…you didn’t know that Saul of Tarses was a false Apostle…man, Huckabee, you really know diddly squat about your own religion.
Huckabee: The Supreme Court ‘Cannot Overrule God’ On Gay Marriage
Memo
To: Huckabee
From: Zeus
Who said anything about God, buster. And I’ll marry Ganymede if I want to. Now piss off ya corpulent bastard before I have Hephaestus blow-torch your fat hillbilly ass.
Does he wear a wig? Like the British?
Zeus defined (by Samuel L. Jackson) in Die Hard: With a Vengeance -
Zeus: Why you keep calling me Jésus? I look Puerto Rican to you?
John McClane: Guy back there called you Jésus.
Zeus: He didn’t say Jésus. He said, “Hey, Zeus!” My name is Zeus.
John McClane: Zeus?
Zeus: Yeah, Zeus! As in, father of Apollo? Mt. Olympus? Don’t fuck with me or I’ll shove a lightning bolt up your ass? Zeus! You got a problem with that?
John McClane: No, I don’t have a problem with that.
You don’t speak Jesus. You speak bigotry and assholish.
That was the best!!!
So, Huckster, you say that SCOTUS can’t overrule God on marriage… hmmmm. Is that the Biblical marriage tradition where women were property and, as a show of status men could have multiple wives – men like Solomon and King David?
Or is the Biblical tradition where if a man’s brother died before the deceased brother’s wife bore him a child, the surviving brother was required to have sex with the widow until she bore a son??? (Remember Onan?)
Or is it the Biblical tradition where women had no rights to property or survivorship – a tradition that continued in many places until about 100 years ago? Marriage was not born out of love but rather was arranged by parents because, again, female children were undesirable and were traded away to a man in a bill of conveyance called a marriage license.
Or is it the fact that in the Bible, there is not one case of a marriage happening in a church/temple?? That’s because marriage wasn’t recognized in the Christian Church until about 1200 A.D. and only recognized it then as a way for priests to marry and the Church could gain wealth and property from the dowries paid to it by the fathers of the brides – until then the Church believed marriage was an earthly institution which wouldn’t be recognized in heaven.
So you see, Huckster, the definition of marriage has changed over the millennia. Even in religious circles what marriage is has changed. But feel free to continue to tell women they are property and sexual things only created for procreating male children.
Huckster, I wanna hear the recording of when God told you same-sex marriage was bad. And no fair citing passages from the Old Testament while ignoring all the others you don’t try to enforce legally, like stoning disobedient sons to death at the edge of town. I want to hear it from Jeebus’ mouth. What’s that? Can’t hear you. Speak up.
I love Huckabee. Best thing we can be doing is to whip the most retrograde elements within the GOP into a spittle-choked frenzy. Remind the rest of the nation just who GOP base is. Shine a big fucking spotlight on 'em.
Go, Huck!
Speaking of disobedient sons…why didn’t Fuckabee stone his son for torturing and killing animals?
