As for the gay groups that see something as their "right" which is both new and not approved by voters AND the groups that believe that their morality should be forced on others and who pretend that they represent all good religion:
You are both nuts. Go away.
End of quote
Nope, there is no going away from this battle.
The US uses criminal penalties to police the morality of its citizens day in and day out..isn't that what police do when they arrest murderers, theives, and kidnappers--enforce laws based upon the immorality of those actions?
Jefferson and our other Founding Fathers understood a sense of morality comes naturally to all people as part of the natural or Moral law, sometimes called conscience. From the moral law, Jefferson observed that the self-evident unalienable rights of all people should be protected by a government established by the people. In other words, the Founders believed the higher authority, the "Creator" to whom we should appeal to establish objective moral grounds in our laws. The Declaration was the moral statement that would later become the foundation of the Constitution. The Founders confirmed that establishing a morality was unavoidable and was derived from the Moral Law, the law not everyone obeys, but the law by which everyone expects to be treated.
So summing up, all laws judge actions or behavior by declaring directly or by implication that one behavior is right and its opposite is wrong. All good laws are just laws and to legislate justice is to legislate morality. Since securing justice is the primary function of government, so legislating morality is constitutional, but the question that is before us in this battle for marriage is whose morality should be legislated?
And this is where we get to the Big Lie that comes from the serpent/devil .....that man thinks he can redefine his own existence and make himself into his own thought up image and likeness apart from the Creators. This rebellion has been going on since Adam and Eve's and has been transmitted through the generations.
Micheal Jone's, Culture War, pretty much nails it when he writes, "No social progress outside the moral order" and in one of the recent articles concerning marriage.....a minister writes....."Human freedom instead of being the liberty to do good, becomes the licence to do what feels good. Human relationships, particularly the marital relationship can in that sinful regime be shaped into any form we can negotiate with others. The result is the systematic enthronement of rape as secular paradigm for sexual relationships."
He goes on and makes a very good point...one that needs be said...
Real marriage is total freedom on part of both husband and wife...in such a relationship each party if free to give him/herself totally and receive the other totally.....This is why attempted "homosexual marriage" is a perversion of truth. Homosexuals cannot be fruitful or bound in mind and heart, becasue being the same sex, they are not complementary personalities. The goods of permanence, fidelty, and progeny are all impossible. We don't have to look at the Bible for this, it's obvious human reality and something that society must look at when considering "homosexual marriage".
Homosexual practioners attempting marriage are trying to mash themselves into a relationship that they cannot by their own choice make work. A couple cannot base intimate union on mutual abuse. Why becasue they are propagating the Big lIe through a series of derivative lies, big and small. Imagine a young boy growing up in a household in which two adult are both male and they regularly sodomize each other. The Great lie, derivitive of the Big lie is that this behavior is right, good and normal. The subsidiary lie is that the two males are "faithful" to one another when one or both are out cruising for sex, regularly or irregularly. This boy will not have a chance to understand real marital love, and that is spiritual, mental, psychological and, by extension, physical abuse.
When the Big Lie and the subsidiary lies are preached as truth in "families" such as this, there is a real danger that the broader community will suffer as this lie is protected in law and culture. In fact, the lie is being codified in country after country."
After this he writes about the "hate crime" legislation already operating in Europe and in Canada...and blogs have been written about such... by which pastors and priests can be fined, imprisoned for saying that homosexuality, the behavior, are evil, unhealthy and sinful. We know that the same legislation is pending in Washington DC and expected to be passed into law under the Obama administration. If such happens, then I could be in trouble for even writing this article.
