Thank goodness two gays were not originally placed in the garden of eden. Or Cougarguard wouldn't be around.

God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

My second favorite frequently repeated audience participation line in the springer/rikki lake/jenny jones talk show genre of the 90's.

#1: You got to drop that zero and get yoself a hero.

Ah, but maybe Lilith was a lesbian.

It is possible to believe that gay marriage is not part of God's plan, yet still not have a problem with a couple of guys running down to the Justice of the Peace and getting hitched.

I don't understand what you mean here. What is the great incompatibility? Marriage in our society is, in large part, a civil contract, rather than a religious covenant. If I don't believe that Gay couples should have the ability to enter into the religious covenant, why should it also mean that I don't believe that they should be able to enter into the civil contract, and receive the benefits of it?

in some obscure document, that marriage is ordained of God. Now, i'm real confused.

Is celestial marriage a saving ordinance?

This makes perfect sense to me. I haven't got the faintest idea about God's plan on this one, but that doesn't stop me from supporting the contractual nature of the tradition for all consenting adults who seek it. (okay, there are actually a couple more limits than that in my mind, but not limits with respect to same-sex couples). Now I'm sounding convoluted. Sorry.

I think Clark might have omitted the word gay and the sentence should read:
