How so? Can you be specific?

Your perception is not synonymous with reality.
Biblically, it does refer to a union of more than two people.

Most leftist loons are.
That "Western experience" has encompassed a lot more than you appear to want to believe.

And then planet Earth got flooded.
No, he means THE definition. Just like we don't let you idiot racists decide what racism is, we don't let you define words either.
IOW, your definition.
Again, that's not what it says, but is rather what you want to believe it says.
Do you have anything besides scripture, remember, I think it was written by humans, and humans change. The Jewish Yahweh of the Old Testament is a very different character than is the God represented by Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
I disagree there, slightly. It's an endorsement of treason.
31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Mat. 25: 31-46

Meh, I do believe you can only commit treason against your own country, and those fuckers had formed a newer, lesser country. It's still fun to call them traitors, though...
It's a choice to be gullible. There's no indication that you have a valid case to make. You've been sold a load of snake oil and are loath to admit it.
Again, you're just making that up to make it say what you want it to say.
I think the Word of God will suffice. Since you do not believe it IS the Word of God we can not discuss it. Believing the Bible is the Word of God is the LEAST common denominator 2 or more people must have to have intelligent discussion and debate.
It's like asking a plumber for advice/explanations/lessons on sailing the seas with a sextant and a compass.
Therefore if you're interested in what human beings have written you need to look no further than any of the thousands of other threads and posts in this Forum for topics of flesh & blood topics and discussions. You do it, I do it, we all do it.
The content of the Bible is spiritually discerned. If you're not born again of the Spirit, you don't get it.
10But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.
14The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment. 16“For who has known the mind of the Lord, so as to instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Cor 2:10-16
So, we have no common ground in this one area.
God had Paul write this to Timothy: “Warn them (the believers) before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen”
2 Tim. 2:14
Not really. If marriage was redefined, that would affect existing marriages.
That has been your history.
Something else that you want to believe. Try reading the Bible without all of your preconceived notions about what's in there. Whoops, sorry, that's not possible for you. is it?
