First comes love, then comes ???
At the same time that gays and lesbians are practically begging for the right to get married, the census reports that heterosexuals are avoiding marriage like the plague. Fewer than one in every four households has a married couple with children in it.
Folks are just shacking up these days. And those that do get married tend to be wealthier and better educated than those that don't. (Maybe not both at the same time. See Britney Spears.)
One senior fellow at the Brookings Institute says that marriage has almost become a luxury item for the elites. Like a Hummer? Frankly, if the family values crowd is concerned about the state of marriage, it should come out in favor of gay marriage, if only to goose the bottom line.

And can we include you, Rev. Riley, in that "family values crowd," or are you advocating that unmarried couple just shack up?
What a silly question! Reverend Feel Good most certainly does support unmarried couples living together as husband and wife. Remember: "Jesus loved people more than rules," dude. Sheesh!
gee, was it adam & eve or adam & steve?

Praise God! We have a brand new catechumen in Ray. Will you be sending out invitations to your baptism, Ray?
