She gets to pick and choose which parts of the Bible to follow in her own life and which ones to make law for everyone else.
Maggie’s Anti-Biblical MarriageTimothy Kincaid
Maggie Gallagher, as the head of the National Organization for Marriage, is quite fond of extolling the virtues of “traditional marriage.” And, for those uncertain as to what “traditional” means, her protege Carrie Prejean, lets us know that it is marriage which is “biblically correct.”
Well, when I was growing up in a “biblically correct” family, one of the scriptures often quoted to Christian kids of dating age was 2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?
And lest any kids have any uncertainty about the application of that scripture or the meaning of “unequally yoked”, they were told in no uncertain terms that they were to only date other Christian kids. Marrying a non-Christian would be tragic.
It’s un-Biblical!
It’s un-traditional!
It’s Maggie’s marriage!
It turns out that for the last 17 years, Maggie has been married to Raman Srivastav, who just happens to be Hindu. Oh, my.
Well I guess we now know why Maggie un-traditionally uses her maiden name and why her husband is kept invisible.
Now I have no problem with Maggie being married to a person of any faith or no faith at all. But, then again, I don’t demand that marriage laws in this country be based on the Christian Bible.
you're right to point out the hypocrisy here.
but just to be sure there is hypocrisy, my question is whether maggie married her hindu hubby before she converted to christianity.
