Somehow, these different viewpoints need to be resolved and I don't get how my viewpoint or yours or theirs is inherently superior. I am unable to distinguish how your position is any better than the Christian fundamentalist position in that both lack empathy and respect for the opposing viewpoints. All we can do is talk it out and try to reach some compromise. Such a compromise is almost certainly going to be partly agreeable and partly uncomfortable for everyone involved. Ideally, such compromise would come from a stance of mutual respect even as the disagreements are acknowledged.
I will say that until such a time as the U.S. no longer permits freedom of religion and demands that everyone conforms to a Christian fundamental ethical system, that is wrong because it violates the Constitution.
As far as the points AR brought up, that's why I don't go for consenting adults, I want informed consent by people capable of consenting. So a 16 year old, married or not, is still a minor and not capable of informed consent. But I don't believe 16 year olds should be able to marry.
