Utah Town's Pro-Family Resolution Sparks Debate
From Cybercast News Service:
The government council in the heavily Mormon town of Kanab, Utah, is under attack for a resolution it passed in January that defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman, "ordained of God." (emphasis added)My Comments:
[Full Story]
You'll have to read the whole story to find out which part of the resolution is most controversial: the part about "ordained of God"; or the part defining marriage as including one man and only one woman.

But the resolution doesn't say a marriage is "one man and only one woman"
Under this resolution you could have multiple marriages of "one man and one woman". So you wouldn't be married to Jane and Joan, you would be married to Jane and married to Joan.
(Did that make sense?)
This is the argument I've made to my homosexual friends who say that the old testament guys were polygamists, and I said that a marriage is still only one man to one woman (even if you have multiple sets of that).
If you wanted to be technical, Joan could marry Fred, and there would be 4 people but each "marriage" (four of them) would apply to one man and one woman. Jane and Joan weren't married to each other and Bob and Fred weren't married to each other, and Fred wasn't married to Jane, but he was married to Joan. (Have I totally confused you yet? :))
Huh?
;)
You need a polygamy scorecard :)
