Then what about the animist community? Are animists discriminated against? What about their rights? Animism documentary explores the world of people in love with objects | Calgary Herald

Easily addressed by stating that the law only applies to.... two, consenting, adult humans.


The ridiculous argument to stop two human beings in love from marrying each other, regardless of their gender...is steeped in creating fear and personal revulsion.

Often tried to be justified...by citing the Bible.

Kinda funny when you think about it though, because that same book has some pretty harsh suggestions for lots of things, including those who commit adultery...who should be stoned to death.

So why the hypocrisy and why aren't people so adamant...that this also be the law?

And then there's the issue of states, that have only recently changed the age of consent for girls to marry. The Bible says it's OK for an old man to marry a 12 year old girl and many states have had, until fairly recently...laws that allowed 13 year old girls to marry.

Who in their right minds and claims they're 'good/decent' people...thinks that's even close to being OK?

But then again, that's whence the term 'Cafeteria Christian'...emanated.

Just choose those parts that you like...and ignore the rest.




**And a small plea to any mods that may have their red, 'post deleting pen' poised, I would posit that discussing 'marrying age' is on-topic...when the thread is about 'age prejudice.' So thank you for your consideration.
