Newsweek's "The Religious Case for Gay Marriage"
The feature article in the December 15, 2008 issue of Newsweek is "The Religious Case for Gay Marriage." Author Lisa Miller, the religion editor for the magazine, sets forth the case for gay marriage looking at the Bible and arguing that nothing in the Bible should prevent one from accepting gay marriage. If you aren't a bible scholar and aren't familiar with many of the arguments used in this debate, you may find her article convincing, especially since Newsweek doesn't offer what the counter argument might look like.
If you are interested in a counter argument to this position, look at Rob Bowman's post at the Religious Researcher. His blog is nearly as long as Lisa Miller's but well worth the read.
What do you think of the two articles? Who makes the better case?

I come from the, "live and let live" school, so if two people love each other and want to devote themselves to each other who am I to say they cannot marry? It is also easier to judge from a distance--for proof of this see Dick Cheney and his approach to the issue now that his daugher has come out of the closet. Who among us would argue against gay marriage if someone we loved were gay?
