Which approach is better: 1) politicians fight by passing legislation protecting marriage so that it will be defined as between one man and one woman 2) try and remove all references to marriage from Federal laws (I liken this to what the Russians did to their farmland so as to starve and freeze Napolean's army as he marched to Moscow) 3) other
Maybe they can televise Gay Divorce Court. Now that would be funny.
3. It is not reproductive.....the end.
The Left is right now working very hard to create a sense of inevitability. I'm sorry to say it, but with many it looks like they've succeeded.
In fact, this is a war we can easily win, if people will just speak up boldly on behalf of what is right.
It is also a war that the courts can decide for generations (e.g. Roe vs. Wade) regardless of public opinion or what is right.
In that case, lawyers would love the concept of government withdrawal on the matter - virtually limitless fountain of work.
Why didnt the Christians fight harder?
Christians have been fighting for 50 years. We lost prayer in school, we lost abortion, we are losing this...part of the problem is demographic of church (divorce and so on) is like the world. We have slowly become like the world and can hardly fight at all now. Told my pastor today, we are goin to the bottom. Many hate God but he is giving them just what they want. Bad news we are being drug along with them. The only way to fight is you know how and that is not natural for the Christian. So, we have to endure for now and wait for God or for man to look up. I told Pastor this should drive us to our knees....Will it???
I will add we lose because our Christian leaders in govt have done the betraying. Catholics like Biden, Pelosi, and others do not stand for God at all. how can you win with a stacked deck like that?
The only way to fight is you know how.
You got it.
Well over 6500 years of recorded history and what are humans debating about here in the 21st Century? Marriage and how its defined. Some progress ay?
How should the military handle marriage and families, how about immigration?
Good strategy, although I would exchange incest for bestiality (not personally, but for the argument). Gay marriage proponents argue that the activities between consenting adults are nobody's business, and an animal can't really consent but a relative can.
I had a debate with a young woman years ago about gay marriage. She saw nothing wrong with gay marriage, but when asked about incest she exclaimed, "That's gross!!" I then asked her, "Then we should limit marriage only to those you don't find disgusting?" She, of course, had no reply.
You’re correct. Hard to believe she doesn’t find rimming and turd-poking gross.
Not if those charged with checking the courts would do so.
Fixed!
another reason we are losing is because I naively believed that most of the people i call friends and family were christians. They almost all conservative but today on facebook i found out that almost every single one of them support the gay marriage crap. I am shocked! Even the old aunt who quotes the bible almost hourly!!!!! Posts about how those of us who oppose it hide our bigotry behind the bible and the gays have just as much right to marriage as anyone else. I unfriended every one of them which has unfortunately left me without any friends. It has opened my eyes though. we are losing this fight because very few people who call themselves christians actually believe the bible. very few will actually live it, stand up for it, etc. guess i kind of feel a little like lot and his wife right now.
I know the inevitability angle pushed by the media, but we have lost so much ground in a short amount of time. We have gained in the abortion battle, but it has been a very long haul. In this marriage issue though, you are right, look at all the repubs in the past 30 days who are goin the other way. I guess at least all are being exposed for what they believe. you and me included. I did see protest in France opposing the pederasts. So, we musn’t lose hope. What we know is this is not the endgame for the pederasts. It is only the beginning so we have to fight to the end. It may get very lonely for us, but we must stand for good and right.
By the way, my daughter (grown and married) is being called a bigot on the FB as we speak. Was not even talking about the pederasts but person veered into it and began the namecalling.
Maybe we should stop talking about dividing mairrage between sexual preference....
...and start talking about dividing mairrage on sexual actuality.
