Oh, like your "rights" come from your god too.
lol
Sure it was. Who told you that? Your god?
Or was it that little black book that I keep referring to?
“The Bible is the word of God"
"How can you be sure it's the word of God?"
"Because the Bible tells us so"
"Why believe the Bible?
"The Bible is infallible"
"How do you know it's infallible?"...

Don't you know that marriage existed long before there were any Hebrews? Use your head...
Love, Sex, and Marriage in Ancient Mesopotamia
https://www.ancient.eu/article/688/love-sex-and-marriage-in-ancient-mesopotamia/
excerpt:
Marriage in ancient Mesopotamia was of vital importance to the society, literally, because it ensured the continuation of the family line and provided social stability. Arranged marriages were the norm, in which the couple had often never met, and there were even bridal auctions where women were sold to the highest bidder, but human relationships in ancient Mesopotamia were just as complex and layered as those today and part of that complexity was the emotion of love. The historian Karen Nemet-Nejat notes, “Like people the world over and throughout time, ancient Mesopotamians fell deeply in love” (132).
So while romantic love did play a part in Mesopotamian marriages, it is true that, according to the customs and expectations of Mesopotamian society, marriage was a legal contract between the father of a girl and another man (the groom, as in the case of the bride auction where the groom paid the girl's father the bride-price) or, more commonly, between two families, which functioned as the foundation of a community. The historian Bertman writes,
This was, no doubt, the `official’ view of marriage and there is no evidence to suggest that a man and woman decided to simply get married on their own (although there is evidence of a couple living together without marrying). Bertman writes, “Every marriage began with a legal contract. Indeed, as Mesopotamian law stated, if a man should marry without having first drawn up and executed a marriage contract, the woman he `marries’ would not be his wife…every marriage began not with a joint decision by two people in love but with a negotiation between representatives of two families” (276). Once the marriage contract was signed in the presence of witnesses, the ceremony could be planned.
The wedding ceremony had to include a feast in order to be considered legitimate. The course of the marriage process had five stages which needed to be observed in order for the couple to be legally married:
The engagement/marriage contract;
Payment of the families of the bride and groom to each other (the dowry and bride-price);
The ceremony/feast;
The bride moving to her father-in-law’s home;
Sexual intercourse between the couple with the bride expected to be a virgin on her wedding night and to become pregnant.
If any one of these steps was not performed, or not performed properly (such as the bride not becoming pregnant), the marriage could be invalidated. In the event the bride turned out not to be a virgin, or could not conceive, the groom could return her to her family. He would have to return her dowry to her family but would get back the bride-price his family had paid.

I'm not aware of anyone that thinks being heterosexual is wrong. Are you?
I don't give you a choice. I fucking tell you what to do and you damn well better do it.
Since you claim to be such a religious scholar, among many other claims you have yet to prove, no one cares what you think. I'll go with God's word over yours.
I do the same to you, cunt.
Another unhinged liberal hysterically screeching about "OUTRIGHT LIES!" over things that are demonstrably true. Literally every single part of the 1st Amendment has been relentlessly attacked by liberals for the last decade or so straight. Take your meds, then debate.

Screech.
Go have your mommy clean the shit out of your diapers, junior.
Lovely random quotes.
Sad little diaper shitter doesn’t comprehend a circular argument.
Please by all means explain how I hate minorities!
