What other purpose does marriage serve if it doesn't create new, legitimate 
offspring? Are you suggesting some kind of santized prostitution?

No! We shall build homes for the spinsters and the widowers where they can 
perform useful work without distraction and the men who remain unwed at age 
22 shall volunteer for the Navy or the Merchant Marine, depending their 
temperments.

Modern technology is of the Devil, as a glimpse in a typical "INBOX" will 
quickly demonstrate.


>Argument 2) They can't really love each other.

Making marriage a "love" thing was probably the biggest mistake of Western 
Civilization. Marriage is of the community and not of the individual's 
fickle fancy!!!

No one should be allowed to court, much less marry, without the approval of 
at least five upright men from their Church or perhaps of their fathers' 
Granges, if they live in different parishes.


>Argument 3) The parts don't fit.

There's one for some of your "modern technology"!

Are you sure about that? Seems like that one guy hates just about everyone 
except perhaps Enoch and Noah, but it's not like we've heard much from them 
lately...

>Argument 5) It will lead to polygamy, bestiality, and pedophilia.

And tax credits just for checking out if it's "your style" or not!
