The November 2nd 2004 Oregon Voters Guide is now available, and is full of tongue in cheek arguments.
From the Arguments in Favor of Measure 36 (a state constitutional ban on homosexual marriage) section:
In the Holy Bible, Saint Paul says that Christians should remain single and abstain from sex. The New Testament says that people should get married only if they are too weak-willed to abstain from sex:
"It is well for a man not to touch a woman…. It is well … to remain single as I do. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion." (I Corinthians 7:1, 8-9)
Marriage is not sacred. Marriage is for wimps and sissies!
Be sure to check out the next two arguments on that page if you want more of the same.
