If he wants to judge other people's relationships in accordance with the Bible, he has to accept that same judgment of his own. I hope the hypocrisy helps people look at this issue in a different light.KyCobbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542449.post-63497381009350259492011-12-18T22:16:43.876-05:002011-12-18T22:16:43.876-05:00At least his defunct marriages were actual marriag...At least his defunct marriages were actual marriages--something same sex "marriages" can never be.Martin Cothranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452612266051351726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542449.post-89319822826204806652011-12-18T22:16:02.133-05:002011-12-18T22:16:02.133-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Martin Cothranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452612266051351726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11542449.post-14655338240486354132011-12-18T17:09:35.096-05:002011-12-18T17:09:35.096-05:00I can't think of a better person to argue that...I can't think of a better person to argue that same-sex unions are the greatest threat to the sanctity of marriage than a guy who broke his wedding vows to his first two wives.KyCobbnoreply@blogger.com
