Overall, betting on the historic survival of the Bible has been a reasonably good bet now for several thousand years.&#8221;<sup> 2<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>Although there has not been a tidal shift in the Republican Party over the issue, several key Republicans have recently announced their support for same-sex marriage.
