Yep people can remain very happy in that state.

I'm not sure why you think that sleeping with someone for 40 years should entitle you to benefits. Did this lady just live off of the astronaut and make no provisions for herself?
Should the 35 year old sloth still living off his parents be entitled to benefits too? Or is the bar set at sex?

What has Textcritic suddenly become your knight in shining armour battling all the religious zealots for you? If I was Textcritic I'd be worried if my particular brand of faith became so popular with atheists.
I've got no problem discussing my faith and scriptures in particular. What i won't do is take one mans word as law. The interpretation of scriptures doesn't automatically change because someone steeped in the philosophy of german rationalism wants to take it in a different direction.
High religious councils and esteemed biblical scholars have studied and come to clear conclusions regarding the nature of marriage and the biblical view of homosexuality. These mens work have stood the test of time. Has yours?
