Feel free to do some research on your own to disprove that if you want. I couldn't find much on it. In any event, it was certainly a religious term until we went ahead and mixed church and state and also made it a legally binding contract.

Okay... Unless there's a rebuttal, then now we can agree to disagree...

lol

You fag. You didn't even read my post! I said that it may have been a Christian term at one time ... but it has since changed it's meaning. But fine. We agree to disagree. ;)

I read it! I just thought I'd stress that not only was it used by Christians, but that's where it originated.













And I aint no fag, man!

Sorry. It was a playful insult. I will check my dictionary of English etymology and see if we can come to some sort of consensus.

and for the second part:
Is it against the law to like Coke and Pepsi at the same time?

Now if Kerry said that he was 100% anti abbortion or something, and then turns around and has his wifes baby aborted or something, then you can call him

Kerry is Democrat, Bush is Republican, Kerry will do/say what his Democratic party tells him to do, just like every other puppet politician.
Kerry saying he likes coke then saying he likes pepsi was a joke, if its against the law to switch your favorite cola then he is not in violation for it was complete fabrication on my part (had to help you out on that one) i believe both candidates are not good

Well, I just checked it ... but neither "marriage" nor "marry" is in there. Of course, it is a "Concise Dictionary of English Etymology", so I can't bitch too much.

Stingy Jack 08-27-2004 04:25 PM

According to the online etymological dictionary, the terms "marriage" and "marry" come from the Old French: "mariage." This is derived from the french word for husband: "mari". But it says nothing of it being used originally by Christians.
