Bible Rules For Marriage

I found this on an old floppy disk and don’t recall the author or when this was written.
Religious Hypocrisy- Certain politicians are working diligently to prevent marriage between two people of the same sex. However, it seems to me that despite creating laws based on religion (which is unconstitutional in the first place), there seems to be deep hypocrisy about what scriptures of the bible they choose to ask the rest of us to live by If you take what the scripture of the bible says then you would also have to abide by the following rules:

1. Marriage in the United States of America shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5.)
2. Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)
3. A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)
4. Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh 10:30)
5. Since marriage is for life, neither the US Constitution nor any state law shall permit divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9-12)
6. If a married man dies without children, his brother must marry the widow. If the brother refuses to marry the widow, or deliberately does not give her children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law. (Gen. 38:6-10;Deut 25:5-10)
7. 7) In lieu of marriage (if there are no acceptable men to be found), a woman shall get her father drunk and have sex with him.(Gen 19:31-36)

Think about how many things the bible tells Christians they should do and then take a moment to question why people think that it is not only the word of God (not the word of men inspired by God) and that it should be taken literally. It seems the dark ages when certain ultraconservative Christian groups were about political greed and power are not over.
