The point, to spell it out for you, is that calls to remain true to the "Biblical definition of marriage" are irrelevent; we've already gotten away from that long, long ago. What people currently think of as the "Biblical definition of marriage" is really just tradition, and relatively recent tradition at that.

Of course, the point is, it is *some peoples'* tradition. That's fine. But it is not *all peoples'* tradition - nor is it immutable.

re 148: Hallelujah. I wasn't looking forward to being executed. although watching people have to pay one shoe for not marrying their brothers' widows sounds pretty funny. if anyone needs to do that, I have a bunch of shoes I'd be happy to donate.
