:::It's rather simple, actually. If you allow gay marriage, then what reason is there not to allow any other type of marriage?  Now, you probably will simply dismiss the question as a "slippery slope" argument and never, ever provide a serious answer.  It's okay.  It won't be the first time I've run into gay marriage advocates who refuse to answer that question, but it is an important question to answer.  In fact, I suspect you already know the answer to the question, just as everyone who opposes gay marriage does.  You just refuse to answer it because it would embarrass you and undermine your position.  The fact is that if you allow gay marriage, there is absolutely no reason to bar any other type of marriage no matter how extreme.  Bigamy and polygamy will be first, of course.  (In fact, the Netherlands has already started down that road after legalizing gay marriage.[http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/301])  Then you will move into "unthinkable" territory: people with animals (which people have already tried[http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2006/01/01/1136050339590.html]), adults with kids (as is commonplace in Middle Eastern and Eastern societies), etc.  But don't worry.  I'm sure you can work out deciphering God's will when you meet Him face-to-face and impotently try to explain yourself.

::Iduan, you're citing a religious scripture to support a discriminatory law (Which is expressly forbidden by the 1st amendment in the Bill of Rights) that has been translated and reinterpreted thousands upon thousands of times in human history, putting into question whether today's Bible differs from that of the one from the Biblical times. As for Jinx's retort, clarification is appreciated on the magical connection between homosexuality and polygamy/bestiality/etc. --[[User:TomRobinson|TomRobinson]] 13:41, 7 June 2010 (EDT)
