Gay Marriage: A far cry from a Holy Union

2006-06-13
By

Once again, the gay marriage issue has come before the Senate.  And with no surprise,  Senators motioned to strike down a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. What a sad state the Senate has become!  It should have been a no-brainer to stand up in the defense of marriage!

Critics of the bill surmised that the effort by the President to bring the issue again to the forefront was a political stunt aimed to revive the conservative base during this election year, and to help his sagging poll numbers.
Time for a reality check:  The issue of gay marriage is a serious one.  Many people, myself included, are seriously concerned with the way marriage is being redefined today, which is why the issue is before the Senate.  Marriage and family was meant to offer a stable environment for the continuation of mankind, to populate the earth, one man, one woman. It is not a union that is meant to fulfill one’s lustful desires.  Marriage has been corrupted by individuals who insist that their sexual preference of a same sex partner is normal when nature screams just the opposite.  These individuals contend that they are unable to change their sexual behavior, or that perhaps God just made them that way.  Nonsense…God planned for this earth to be populated with people…
“Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.” Genesis 9:1 (NIV)
That is what God told Noah’s sons and their WIVES… as in the female persuasion.  THAT is what marriage is about.  One would notice it was not only Noah and his sons who exited the Ark, there were some women on board. 
So I wonder what God is thinking as gay couples flock to churches, or come before Him to ask for His blessing. No doubt He is frowning on the nonsense.
Human beings are meant to reproduce through male and female interaction. There has not been one incident where two people of the same sex have been able to conceive a child naturally…it’s scientifically impossible and was not meant to be so.  The gay lobbyists and homosexual activists would have many to believe that their lifestyle is normal, that Americans should accept it.
Marriage is a sacred institution and it’s surprising that, in the name of tolerance, many of us have turned a blind eye to the rising influence of homosexual activists and the issue of gay marriage. The gay marriage issue is not some political football to be tossed around…it must be faced head on and rebuked.  Gay marriage is a sham, it destroys the foundation of a normal society.  The marriage amendment to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman will not die.  The fight to preserve the sanctity of holy matrimony is a must.  
Forty-five states have already moved to define marriage between one man and one woman. This shows that We the People are sick of the gay marriage issue, and on the local level, have decided to act. 
We’ve felt the threat from activist judges who dismiss the will of the people to keep marriage between one man and one woman and from gay activists who strive to push their sexual deviant behavior in the schools and in every facet of society.  In a recent incident in Massachusetts, a father was outraged to find his 5 year old son bringing home pro-homosexual books from kindergarten (read more under ‘related reading’)!  He expressed his concern about the books at a meeting before school officials, and because he refused to leave until school officials gave him the option of removing his child from  “certain classes,” he ended up spending time in jail.  Criminal trespassing was the reason he spent time behind bars!  All of this came about because one father disagreed with the teachings of homosexuality to his young child!  This father stood up for his child and paid a price. Would you go that far to protect your child?
The homosexual movement has infiltrated just about every organization, including now, the Environmental Protection Agency.  Part of the Federal Government, the EPA is taxpayer funded.  Yet they feel that it’s important to designate June as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month!  Throughout the month, the EPA will host events that will celebrate the homosexual lifestyle. This event will be wrapped up in a tone of “civil rights”…as the theme boasts “Pride, not Prejudice.”  What does the Environmental Protection Agency have to do with promoting gay rights??!!  Surely the taxpayers should have a say in this!
If you disagree with the EPA promoting a homosexual agenda, send an email to EPA administrator Stephen Johnson johnson.stephen@epa.gov and President Bush president@whitehouse.gov, tell them you disagree with a government agency participating in promotions of the homosexual lifestyle.
Whether it’s through marriage, our children, or various companies throughout America, gay activists continually seek to bring up the ”tolerance” and discrimination issue to push their agenda on the rest of us.  I don’t condone discrimination or violence against anyone who is a homosexual, but I have a right to speak out against and not tolerate any indoctrination of the homosexual lifestyle.
I am asking all who read this article…if you have school aged children, sit them down and let them read this information.  The gay activists are starting young, going after 5 year olds!  Be involved in the upbringing of your children and confront a problem head on if you disagree with what your child is being taught in his/her school.
As we look forward to further review of the gay marriage issue, let us face it with common sense, science negates it (no means of producing offspring), certainly God Almighty frowns on it.  Gay marriage is an “unholy” gesture in the sight of God.  And with that, we may reap the consequences as a society if we allow the legalization of gay marriage. 
Become active in the defense of marriage, it’s the most sacred of unions. Once tarnished by gay marriage, anything goes.

    And if murderers make you feel “icky” don’t you think that as a dangerous element to a society they should be dealt with?

    How about drug dealers? There should be no stigma or ban against that, right?

    How about child molesters? After all there was some recent uproar about protecting the rights of child molesters when that guy got shot. They should have a right to be a child molester, right? Right?

    Look the facts are simple. There are only a few basic requirements for a society to exist and be reasonably stable.

    A common language is one, if you can’t communicate then you can’t get jack done.

    A relatively common morality is another, some sort of standard of right and wrong that is judged by. We were founded as a Christian nation and the large majority of us are Christians in one brand or another, and even though we exercise tolerance and respect the rights of others, that doesn’t change what our standard of right or wrong should be.

    A stable method of procreation is another. In order to have your society exist past one generation, they have to be able to reproduce and instill in the next generation those same values to maintain the current morality for the reasons listed above. Otherwise it becomes a different society. Witness the last 40 years and the downward spiral to see the effects of indoctrinating children in counter-culture and unless you’re blind (not physically) and completely retarded then you should see it as reasonably obvious.

    Belief of non-belief in religion is irrelevant. Religion in my opinion is a societal tool used as a glue to hold communities together and impose some sort of acceptable standard and belief in right/wrong. Some give it more power than that, some less. That is, in essence though, what it is when you put all the rhetoric aside.

    Look at any part of the world. Take China for instance, where the majority population is Buddhist. Take the Muslim nations where the majority are Islamic. There are distinct differences in thought processes, conflict resolution, sense of right and wrong in these socities…but they all have the factors I’ve listed above.

    Having a ban on gay marriage is not about people being made to feel lesser or because they make anyone feel “icky.” The facts stand that homosexuality is a destructive lifestyle, and degrades the society it exists in. Whether or not it makes you feel icky or not it does exactly that. Same as drugs, same as murderers, same as child molesters…they all take away from constructive efforts to maintain society and destroy. Belief in God is not required to see these secular facts for what they are. And if you don’t like this society which the majority does believe homosexuality is a bad thing and has been spit on by the justice and legislation systems repeatedly, then please do us all a favor and move to a a more pro-homosexual country. Like the Arab countries where it’s very acceptable and even encouraged. There you won’t find anyone complaining about homosexuality, but you better be in line with the Islam doctrines of “peace”. There’s always a price to living in any society.

    45 out of 50 states now either have amendments or statutes banning gay marriage. I will withold my personal opinions regarding homosexuals other than stating the one about about how destructive the lifestyle generally is. The majority has spoken and the majority says it is wrong. Last time I looked this country operates under a majority rules premise and either I’m really mistaken (and it doesn’t) or it’s being actively undermined.

    I don’t believe in God. I do believe that citizens enjoy equal treatment in the society they inhabit. I don’t want lesser treatment for those who make me feel “icky”.

    How can you be “puzzled” as to my comment on the black community? The majority’s opinion doesn’t matter to you?

    As far as what you said about marriage, it’s solely an institution with which society raises and brings up children/continuation of society. Yes, it’s was instituted by God. And it’s my responsibility to say so. Sure older folks can marry, those who can’t have children, etc. As long as these folks are one man and one woman. That consists of the definition of marriage, has been for ages.

    I would ask that if you or anyone else has any more questions or comments to first check out the links that are provided after this article. I think the facts speak for themselves.

    It may very well be a sham in God’s eyes, but that’s not your call. Marriage is also a property arrangement. Marriage between atheists are OK..so is marriage between barren individuals, or old people who couldn’t possibly reproduce.

    I’m puzzled by your reference to blacks..my point is that a majority opinion doesn’t confer legitimacy.

    Sean,

    I respect your opinion, but the fact is, marriage was God inspired. It isn’t secular at all, I outlined why in my article. It was for the continuation and procreation of mankind, look at Adam and Eve, God brought to Adam a FEMALE, not a male. He was to be his WIFE and eventually, they had children. God did NOT include another male in the picture. Same with Noah, God did NOT have only guys on the boat. There were FEMALES. He told them to go and ..be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth. You can’t get any plainer than that. Secular society recognizes marriage as an institution that holds families together, but as a whole, society recognizes families as being headed by one man and one woman.

    Many people fail to realize that many in the black community are AGAINST gay marriage, they view it solely as a union between one man and one woman. Blacks are very community oriented and grounded and any deviation from that, any deviation from what God says regarding marriage (one man, one woman…as I said in my article) is sin and filth.

    This is not an attempt to get people on “my” side, it’s not a conservative or Republican viewpoint that gay marriage is a sham. Most Americans still are against it. So the effort to paint the defense of marriage amendment as something Republicans are only concerned about it ridiculous, many people across the board were concerned about it. –Felicia Benamon

    Marriage is also a secular institution, so religion may address the sacramental aspects, and nothing else. Should a religion not wish to bless a marriage, no one’s forcing that religion to do so. “Render unto Caesar…”

    I reject the argument that polls show the people to be with your “side”. If a poll showed disapproval of marriages between those of different races, would you advocate acting on that poll?
