I think it’s difficult to say on the one hand that what two consenting adults do is none of our business, and then also say that you support restricting their right to marry. It seems contradictory. I understand the religious arguments-my own church has never sanctified gay marriage and never will. But some Christian denominations are fine with it. Why should the government restrict how they excercise their religion?

Then there’s the argument that somehow, two committed gay people who want to join in holy matrimony sully the sacred institution of marriage.The divorce rate hovers at 50% nationwide (and is around 70% if you look past 10 years of marriage). Only heterosexuals can be included in those stats (plus one gay couple from California as of last week). I find that an abomination, as does most of our population. Yet it continues to be legal for any two heterosexuals who want to enter into the contract, even those who do it over and over and over again with God as their witness.

And the NAMBLA comparison…Very weak. There are never two consenting adults in a man/child abuse situation, and there are existing laws governing that are fervently enforced.

I read lots of books (not nearly as many as I would like though) and I happen to be reading one now called “Open Marriage”. No I don’t want one but I read a lot of books that are about topics I don’t agree with because I am always curious to see how others arrive at some of the conclusion they do. I’m sharing this because the authors are discussing their view of the problems with traditional marriage.

Written in the late 60s early 70s they are discussing how the “sexual revolution” has changed the way the people view marriage. There is an interesting quote in it that speaks to the topic of this post. The authors write, “The only people, indeed, for whom the old-fashioned marriage seems to hold a real mystique are homosexuals…”. That is still the case. So many heterosexual couples have embraced co-habitation without marriage and married couples by and large don’t stay married. However, the gay community won’t be satisfied until they destroy every institution established by God.

It is very true that what adults choose to do is up to them as long as no one else is hurt. As a footnote on my own post mentioned above, I made clear that the remarks I made did not apply to situations where someone is being oppressed such as domestic violence, child abuse, and pedophilia. I made sure I included that because there are people involved in, for instance, pedophilia who consider it an “alternative lifestyle”. They have even created organizations in support of legalizing it (look up NAMBLA). They are now what homosexuals were 50 years ago. It’s a scary thought, but if the Lord prolongs His coming long enough we will see more of that too.

I for one pray that God will give me strength to continue to embrace the truth He has given and I pray that He give that same strength to you and believers everywhere. May we boldly reject sin in all it’s forms until our dying days.

The homosexual agenda seems to be to not only have their rights brought to the forefront, but our Christian rights taken away. They want people to recognize them as mainstream people, while attacking Christian principals and those who live by them. In other words, the homosexual community wants us to accept them and do away with our belief system.

I don’t want to see homosexual couples openly displaying their affection to one another; if they are going to practice that lifestyle, then at least keep it private. I don’t want my grandchildren exposed to that immorality. Yes, I labeled it, because that’s what it is.

Should Christians now be made to pander to that community? Should we quit calling sin what it is in order to politically correct? In my opinion, political correctness is one of the major culprits ruining this country.
