Pat Robertson on gay marriage

In history there's never been a civilization ever in history that has embraced homosexuality and turned away from traditional fidelity, traditional marriage, traditional child-rearing, and has survived. There isn't one single civilization that has survived that openly embraced homosexuality. So you say, "what's going to happen to America?" Well if history is any guide, the same thing's going to happen to us.

”The laws of our land are catching up to the fundamental truth that millions of Americans hold in our hearts: when all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love

I love my pet chicken, why am I not being treated equal?!? I demand recognition for man/poultry marriage!!!

“Where do we go from here”?

Polygamy, obviously.

The obvious option open to supporters of traditional marriage is to re-define the married state just as the government has. Create religious marriage as a recognized sacrament similar to baptism. Faith based people of all denomination are (presently still) free to recognize each others rite of marriage as sacramental and to expressly be neutral regarding state marriages.

It’s a small measure but it is a stake in the ground.

What baffles me is the argument. 87 congress members and a president are racist because sodomizers have rights ?

The Chief Justice can set the rule of the the arguments of merit to the case before the court. It’s done every day it’s known as “the judge won’t allow”. Because the administration now favors “gay marriage” I wouldn’t expect what could be called a healthy defence from them. Sodomy wasn’t the issue . The issue was protecting the integrity and intention of a basic unit of society through a mechanisim known as marriage to encourage familys.

What should we expect from a political party which itself has gone through a marriage with one world socialist radicals known to many as communists who can’t even use the word God. They’ve hyphenated into Demo-Coms.

End game is that there will be no legal definition of “marriage”. Which means that all children and inheritance become the property of the state.

In a nutshell:

-State and District Courts begin picking traditional marriage apart in all 50 states, using the majority opinion that opposing it is clear-cut bigotry and denies gays their 5th. and 14th. Amendment rights.

-Gays begin getting married where possible and then moving en-masse to places where it’s not to confront the “haters” and get in their faces.

-Combined with ongoing forces that are breaking down the family, that concept will be obsolete in two decades.

If homo “marriages” are allowed under law but forbidden under church canon, eventually (and you’d better believe it will be sooner than later) the two ruling authorities will come into conflict. Then a secular court will rule on whose authority dominates.

Would you like to guess which way that court will rule?
