But I'll tell you what the Bible does not say.

The Bible, nor any religious book in the world, the Bible, the Quran, no book you will read describes a marriage as what Americans describe a marriage as.

A marriage today, if you get married in the United States, is a covenant between you and your wife and the government.

The Bible does not say that's what marriage is.

But the government has convinced people, OK, yep, you get married.

Now I have a gun to the guy's head.

Divorce court, divorce law.

I know how much taxes you're paying together.

I can survey you.

I know everything about you guys because you're now married and filing joint tax returns.

I know who's in a sexual relationship with who.

Nowhere in the Bible does it describe a marriage to be between a government and a man and a woman.

And that's exactly what is sold to you by the Christians in the United States, all the young men listening.

And I'm not saying don't get married, by the way.

I wouldn't use your podcast to preach something that you yourself would disagree with.

What I'm saying is when all of these people are saying you need to get married to your wife and have kids within that marriage, there is no passage in the Bible you could read to me right now and you know the Bible better than me that says it's a covenant between your government and the man and the wife.

So I'm a big fan of marriages that take place only in church, that are contracts between you and your wife and God, that your priest oversees and the witnesses at your wedding know you're married because they are there.

I am absolutely...

Not a fan of any marriage where you have to sign papers with the government because the government isn't listed as a party in marriage in the Bible or any other holy book.

And they've hijacked the institution of marriage and they push it down young men's throat as a contract between a man and a woman in a government.
