It is better to marry than to burn.

Where there is marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.
Benjamin Franklin
2 Corinthians 13:8 – For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
You missed verse 4.
4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.
Paul was more progressive than I thought. He’s saying that all Christians are supposed to be switches.
And verse 5.
5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
So, get to praying, let it get you horny, and then get to the screwing.
Marriage never kept any rabbit out of a cookpot. You’re damned either way.
I thought rabbits are only into free love. Or is that humans who are just not monogamous and have these peculiar habits like kissing that is unique to human beings. Also best practiced at an orgy.
Of course Paul is only right if we are truly monogamous creatures and there is plenty to suggest we are not. Perhaps it would be better to not burn, but love the one you are with.
Of course Paul apparently was unfamiliar with the concept of “I came, I saw, She conquered.” Or perhaps he was familiar hmmm.
Well off to Castle Anthrax where I must save all those women. Just have to see the grail. Ahh there it is….now this is far far better than marriage though it could lead to it.
@5 Running like the wind saves you from many things.
@6 And creates a bird that skims the wind silently and has a chance for a meal.
@7 Or a very happy Saudi Prince who has trained the bird or has had the bird trained. The Prince though must put on appearances of being a traditional Bedouin and familiar with the rigors of desert life.
He though may wonder why the opinion of a man who was never married gets so much weight on this subject. After all he has many wives and occasionally still burns. Then he wonders so what would Sir Paul say.
Now that we have mentioned rabbits and birds of pray how about what Pope Francis had to say about global warming and all. Maybe we need a lot less burning human beings in the world. Doesn’t seem that marriage helps much there unless it’s a marriage in a successful first world nation where births have slowed or fallen to less than the replacement rate.
The Supreme Court’s term ends in June, and the Court typically announces major decisions on Mondays. There are only two Mondays left in this month. The Court’s gay marriage ruling could come tomorrow.
Gay marriage foes probably won’t get any votes from the Court’s four liberal justices. Thus, they must pin their hopes on the Court’s conservative-leaning swing voter, Anthony Kennedy.
But as a Seattle Times article published tonight explains, Kennedy has gay friends and has been a lifelong supporter of gay rights. That doesn’t give anti-gay bigots much of anything to look forward to when this ruling is issued.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Court watchers, of course, have long been aware of this. As have advocates on both sides of this issue. The Court has signaled all along that it probably will uphold gay equality. The decision, when it comes out, will still be high drama — but nevertheless anticlimactic. Who knows, the decision might even be 6-3 or 7-2, although I think that’s a stretch. But gay rights supporters need only 5 votes and they’ve almost certainly got them.
