JACKSON, Mississippi, September 22, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — A group of polygamists and a “machinist” who claims to want to marry his computer are challenging homosexual “marriage” in Mississippi. Chris Sevier and others filed a federal lawsuit reasoning that same-sex “marriage” is part of the religion of secular humanism, and since it is of a religious nature, the state has no right to recognize it over other faith-based “marriages” such as polygamy, zoophilia, and machinism. The belief that two men or two women can have a marriage is a religious leap of faith, the plaintiffs argue. Therefore, government sanctioning it goes against the Constitution’s Establishment clause. “Gay marriage is not secular,” Sevier said. “Just like polygamy, zoophilia, machinism, and other forms of perspective marriage are also not secular. All forms of parody marriage are equally part of the religion of secular humanism.” By sanctioning same-sex “marriage,” the suit says, the courts overstepped their constitutional bounds by favoring one religious view over another. Either homosexual “marriage” is unconstitutional and the state has no right to recognize it, or homosexual “marriage” should be accepted along with other marriage beliefs, such as polygamy.

Not seeing the issue...if everyone is a consenting adult...why the frick not? Clearly animals and kids cannot consent but outside of that if 4 people want to shack...why does it matter?

The world didn't end when gays were allowed to marry.

Polygamy is more legit than same-sex marriage.

It has a history going back centuries.

To be honest, why not? Really I think all contracts between consenting parties should be legal. Land of the Free, right?

Why not just skip the marriage thing and all live together? That way they are not breaking any man made laws.

It amuses me that all the small government conservatives here want the government to regulate consenting adults do amongst themselves...

Sorry but it's needed. You really want one guy claiming 6 wives, not to mention 22 kids between the six wives, on his income tax so he can get a refund paid by you and me?

You realize you just made the conservative version of the argument that we need to regulate large sodas because the government subsidizes healthcare, right?

It amuses me that you make a post like yours.

How is a consent agreed upon?
Who is capable of consent?
What constitutes an adult?

The current answers to All 3 of those questions are regulated by government.
How else do we come to consensus than to "worry"/argue about the meaning of those things.
