Fox contributor Pastor Robert Jeffress during Friday’s “The O’Reilly Factor” likened gay marriage to incest while arguing that the Supreme Court shouldn’t make gay marriage a civil right.
“If you expand the definition of marriage to two men and two women, why stop there?” Jeffress said. “If it’s an absolute constitutional right, why can’t 16-year-olds get married? Why can’t polygamists get married? Why can’t siblings get married? Where do you stop? It opens up a Pandora’s box of societal-wide chaos.”
Jeffress, who signed a brief asking the Supreme Court to uphold state bans on same-sex marriage, also agreed with host Bill O’Reilly’s comments that Christians were under attack in America.
“I believe that if the Supreme Court, as expected, enshrines gay marriage as a constitutional right, I believe it’s truly going to be, to use your phrase, ‘open season’ on Christians and those who believe in traditional marriage,” Jeffress said. “Once you make gay marriage a civil right then anyone who opposes it is guilty of a civil rights violation.”

Because virtually no incestuous relationship can be considered anything but abusive in some manner shape or form. Then there is the issue of how problematic the genetics involved would be. There’s a lot of very secular reasons why incestuous marriages would be problematic. Just look at the royal families of Europe up until fairly recently.
“If you expand the definition of marriage to two men and two women, why stop there?” Jeffress said. “If it’s an absolute constitutional right, why can’t 16-year-olds get married? Why can’t polygamists get married? Why can’t siblings get married? Where do you stop? It opens up a Pandora’s box of societal-wide chaos.”
Isn’t it amazing that the only people who come up with these kinds of perverse scenarios are the ones who claim to be opposed to them?
Projection is a very revealing thing.
Oh, those zany Baptists!
Until these goons understand and accept the basic precepts that under gird civil society, there is no hope convincing them. But they live by their interpretations of a book written before mankind understood why it rains.
If we allow a man to marry a woman, why not a brother and a sister? See how that game is played, twit?
If a man can divorce his wife, why can’t he also kill her?
