Same-Sex Marriage Activists Have Launched a Religious War

Seeing Rosie O’Donnell condemn President Bush just after she “married” her girlfriend, Kelli Carpenter, was bizarre in a tiresome sort of way. O’Donnell claimed, “We were inspired to come here by the sitting president and the vile and vicious and hateful comments he made.”

If O’Donnell had any sense of humor or irony, she would look at herself and say, “Gee, for such a tolerant, open-minded person, I sure do condemn and vituperate an awful lot, especially on what should have been the happiest day of my life.”

Maybe I’m some sort of pervert, but I don’t recall bearing anyone in the world any ill will on my wedding day, much less having decided to get married, just to spite someone.

O’Donnell is in the habit of changing her rationalizations for her “wedding,” at a moment’s notice. First, it was a reaction to her inability, during her lawsuit last fall against Gruner & Jahr/Bertelsmann, the publisher of her defunct magazine, to use “spousal privilege” to keep her girlfriend from being called to testify. Her “marriage” couldn’t be a desperate attempt at publicity for her forthcoming book, considering the tens of millions of dollars she lost, due to her failed TV talk show, her failed magazine, and the bomb of a Broadway musical she produced about gay pop star, Boy George, could it?

But I’m less concerned with O’Donnell’s opportunism, than I am with her vileness, her viciousness, her hatefulness. I have my policy differences with Pres. Bush, but I do not question his compassion or tolerance, which are inseparable from his Christian faith.

But if you disagree with Rosie O’Donnell, you’re a “hater,” pure and simple. I’m focusing on O’Donnell, because I think she exemplifies the gay movement. Like New Yorkers, gay activists are the most compassionate, tolerant people on earth – just ask them, they’ll tell you. But disagree with any of their demands, and they’ll yell things at you that would make a guest on The Jerry Springer Show blush.

(The first time I tried to see the movie Basic Instinct, in early 1993, I think it was, gay vandals shut down the theater with stink bombs, to “protest” that the serial killer was bisexual. Not that they would admit that it was they who had done the deed. As a heterosexual couple walked away from the theatre at Manhattan’s Union Square, one of the lesbian vandals yelled at the woman, “Go home and fake some orgasms!”)

And the thing gay activists hate more than anything else, is Christianity.

Now, I could get arrested for saying this in New York, but the gay campaign for same-sex marriage is a war on Christianity. And while I’m apparently not permitted to say the following anywhere in America, America is a Christian nation … and you don’t have to be a Christian to recognize this. (I’m a Jew.)

It was the unique mixture of political freedom and Christianity, that produced in America the most religious nation in the West, and the freest, most religiously tolerant nation on Earth. (Some commentators speak of attacks on “Judaeo-Christian ethics,” but I have to confess ignorance of any "Judaeo-Christian" religion.)

Secularists insist that the “constitutional wall of separation of Church and state” forbids discussing religious issues in political debates. To which I say: Show me where it says that in the Constitution.

The notion of a "constitutional" wall of separation of Church and state derives from a personal position Thomas Jefferson took in a letter to an acquaintance 200 years ago. But secularists like it, and so they have projected it onto the Constitution. Better similes, more in tune with the Constitution, would be of a “balance” or even a “dance.” Besides, secularists aren’t even true to Jefferson; they seek not the separation of religion from government, but the burying of religion, as one would bury radioactive waste. In any event, the First Amendment does not suggest a wall:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

The part before the first comma is known as the “establishment clause”; the part immediately following it, is known as the “free exercise clause.” Together, they balance each other. Gays and other radical secularists seek to nullify the free exercise clause, and replace the religious assumptions of the establishment clause with anti-religious ones. And so, instead of the government not giving preference to any particular denomination, secularists and gay activists demand that government be hostile towards, and use its coercive power against religion, excepting, that is, Islam.

Gay activists deny that if they succeed in imposing same-sex marriage on America, that they will seek to force it on religious institutions. To anyone who believes them, I say, I have a great deal for you on a slightly used bridge. For years, homosexual activists denied that they sought same-sex marriage, right up until the moment the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Texas sodomy law, last June 26.

I predict that if gay marriage becomes the law of the land, religious freedom will be a dead letter. Gays will use the same carte blanche interpretation of the 14^th amendment they have used in demanding same-sex marriage, in which “equality” somehow always requires that they be “more equal” than others, to demand that churches and synagogues be forced by the state to perform same-sex marriages, that devout Christians be forced to rent apartments to gay couples, and that Christian organizations be forced to hire openly homosexual applicants. (Gay activists are oddly tolerant of Islam, partly because Islam is so intolerant of them, and partly because Islam is the enemy of Christianity.) And once they have gotten enough gay “hate crime” and “anti-discrimination” laws passed at the state and federal level, gay activists will have people prosecuted, merely for disagreeing with them.

Why are gay activists so intent on forcing Christianity to submit to them? Because Christianity is foundational to America, and they want to replace America’s foundations with those of their own choosing. And because Christianity condemns sodomy, and gay activists will not abide being told, “No.” Theirs is a totalitarian will. They will have their way, even if it means having the Bible censored, and remaking God in their own image.

It's not about love, as Rosie O plainly states: she wed out of spite. It's about economics, it's about anger, it's about everything but what marriage is about.

Discriminatory? Tell that to polygamists, too.

Good article. Scary too, but I think it accurately reflects the homosexual sodomites' agenda. These perverts are completely intolerant of Christians, and you just know they'd love to impose their sick deviance on everybody in America.

It wouldn't surprise me if, just for spite, some freak butt-bandit tries to sue a church for its "offending" cross, and some slimy sympathetic judge will concur and order all churches to erect phallus-shaped idols.

[rrstar96]

Stix can really call a spade a spade. Great exposé of the "gay" anti-Christian agenda!

I remember a homosexual co-worker years ago who sarcastically remarked to a few of us that he had "given up Christianity" for Lent. The truth is, sexual deviants give up Christianity year-round.

[Gargantua]

Sadly for them, the Gay fight against the Christian God can have only one outcome, and the screams reverberating from the charred remains of the once-queer crowd will echo in Hell for eternity.

It wasn't enough to merely "play boy" and "play girl," now they want to "play married." Well, their game will last just so long, and then reality is going to bite them... hard... right on their gender-twisted creases.

Let the games begin.

Gay marriage has nothing to do with love. It is about economics and advancing a politcal agenda.

Dennis Prager (an observant Jew) said this same thing on his Monday radio talk show.

As you suggest, once you permit people to play the "discrimination game" to trump religious freedom, anything is possible.

Unfortunately, many Christian denominations have been infiltrated by homosexuals who claim NOT to have given up Christianity.

JANUARY 4, 2002. Three gay men were beheaded on New Year's day by the United State's Middle Eastern oil ally, Saudi Arabia.

Muslim nations can execute people for being gay, non-Muslim, or the wrong ethnic group without a peep from the media.


"We homosexuals are able to take our responsibility in combating HIV and AIDS, but first of all they have to demolish the Islamic Penal law according to which they execute gays.(Which they won't)

When the muslims have no more use for the homos, they will kill them.

[johnb838]

What scared me about the San Francisco same-sex "marriage" debacle was that everywhere you turned for an official to stop the madness you found another gay lothario mincing and prancing and saying (s)he didn't see anything wrong with it. That's what tolerance gets you, and it's a lesson that we need to learn.

[jimt]

It's not about love, as Rosie O plainly states: she wed out of spite.

It's about commanding "celebration" of the perverted homosexual lifestyle by force of law.

It's not just Christians who are under attack (although they are), it's anyone who doesn't accept homosexuality as "good", "normal", an "accepted lifestyle worthy of respect, adoration and emulation".

[little jeremiah]

Homosexual Agenda Ping. A ray of truth, and well written (IMHO.)
One of the best articles I have read lately about not just "gay" marriage but the "gay" agenda in large scope - what they want, and where they will take this country. This author has done his homework, and sees things as they are.

I hope he has a lot of readers.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this busy ping list.

Any matrimony that's not Holy Matrimony is Unholy Matrimony.

[hattend]

And once they have gotten enough gay “hate crime” and “anti-discrimination” laws passed at the state and federal level, gay activists will have people prosecuted, merely for disagreeing with them.

I predict that's when the "Unintended Consequences" begin and Political Correctness is finally destroyed.

Homosexuals are Hedonists.

Just had to say it. It doesn't seem to pop up when this subject is debated.
