1 Corinthians 7:9
It is better to marry than to burn.

Careful whose attentions you spurn guys.
Am I being banned again? I can’t post under my normal name/mail address.
There are problems in this text .. not just with the translation of Paul’s greek but with his sloppy writing style .. more evidence that I did not write the gospels!
It (what “it?” .. unclear antecedent.
is better to marry than to burn. (unparall construction.. “marry” and “burn” are transitive verbs but take very different objects)
One marries a person or … if you are a priest you may marry in the sense of performing a marriage.
The latter is likely Paul’s meaning. As a priest, Paul often had to marry others, certainly he saw that as preferable to burning them. Later, NERO had the opposite view of Christianty.
Of course Augustine, a misogynist, was himself burned up about any form of marriage.
Augustine, however, may have a message for modern clergy who object to gay unions. Is it better to marry people committed to sin then to burn them at the stake as witches?
Try posting in my name in Lee’s threads. He goes beyond banning and has even rewritten posts!
Sighhhh …
Well ya, back then they didn’t have rubbers or antibiotics. You go sticking your thing in all sorts of places and sooner or later you’re going to pick up a dose of something that burns.
Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess, Will you marry me? The Princess said, No!!!
And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and banged skinny long-legged big breasted broads and hunted and fished and raced cars and went to strip bars and dated women half his age and drank whiskey, beer and Captain Morgan and never heard bitching and never paid child support or alimony and banged cheerleaders and kept his house and guns and ate spam and potato chips and beans and blew enormous farts and never got cheated on while he was at work and all his friends and family thought he was frikin cool as hell and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up.

FTW!
@7, I can’t take credit. It is some internet spam that ended up in my box recently and given the topic I thought I would share it.
In the event my wife or children see the post, I deny I find it at all funny. ;-)
@8
I’ve seen different versions floating around on the net for years.
@7 and 8: Second that. But you know what? I’ve been married for more than 26 years now (2nd marriage, 1st wife was a succubus), and all in all, I couldn’t be happier, though from what I’ve seen go on around me, I’m pretty sure I got lucky.
For context: my parents have been married almost 60 years. My dad’s folks more than 55 years (both gone now). My mom’s folks were married for almost 80 years (grandma is 96). So maybe it’s a genetic thing…
Goldy likes his “other kids” better, I think.
My partner and I have been together for 17 years, married except for the paperwork. So we get both “married” and “burning”. Go figure.
@6 You left one thing out. It should read:

@13
Nah, if he were a Republican he’d live in the ‘burbs, have 4 kids and want other people to pay his bills for him.
Pretty much, standard issue rightie stuff.
Gman,
“Am I being banned again?”
You have never been “banned.” However some time back when you failed to adhere to the comment policy your comments were being caught for moderation. They were released if compliant.
“I can’t post under my normal name/mail address.”
I find no comments from you in the moderation queue, nor the spam filter. Sounds like user error….
I’ll burn thank you. Marriage sucks.
@16 I’m getting kicked out this afternoon, too, somewhat like a chainsaw kickback … there are times when I can’t post on HA, it just seizes up. HA’s WordPress software seems to be touchy.

This is very strange. It’ll post my test messages, but I can’t post any substantive comments.
Inasmuch as I can’t post comments this afternoon, I’m out of here for the rest of the day.
Well since outdoor burning is outlawed in much of King County, I guess a brotha has to get hitched instead.
Author has never met my ex wife.
Zotz,
Don’t you think it’s about time you scheduled that barbecued clam (it’s not oyster season) and martini event for us Kitsappers?
@25: That would be grilled vice BBQ. It’s way past time, I’ve been busy. We’ve had wave after wave of company.
Marriage is great. You get what you take your time for. I found a wonderful one! She feels the same way. I recommend marriage wholeheartedly. We have a honeymoon almost every year. Recently, just had a two week one. Intensely loving each other puts everything else into perspective.
Funniest line today
Roger Dumb Bunny and substantive comments – False equivalence. Toooo Damn Funny.
