“Gay Marriage Makes Me Fear For This Beloved Country (Vanity)”

Yeah it’s a bad thing but with all of the other possible things that could destroy us, this is small potatoes.

“Yeah it’s a bad thing but with all of the other possible things that could destroy us, this is small potatoes.”

I can’t really agree with that. Yes, there are many problems and threats out there. But for me, as a religious person who believes as did Washington and Lincoln, that America’s welfare came from divine blessing, all the other problems are nothing, if we lose His protection.

Unfortunately, this is NOT small "potatoes."

Like it or not or even believe it or not, God is in charge.

Lest you don't believe it, try wondering why the earth remains in just the right position, as do the rest of the planets, as they rotate around the sun.

Why do they not move off course, reverse course, or the sun move out of position?

Why do we, here on earth, have just the correct blend of oxygen and nitrogen, to continue breating?

Because all have a Master Designer, who has a Master Plan and He has told us, His creation, what he finds abominable.

He has also told us what has happened to those societies who have flaunted our freedom, from Sodom to ancient Greece and Rome.

I agree. I’m just waiting for these libs to appeal the 2nd amendment so a Civil War will ignite.

Gun rights, raising taxes and the demoralization/cuts to our military are on the top of my list.

I disagree. This divide is at the very heart of our nation’s social fabric. I ask what it says that the only societies on earth who have accepted gay marriage are so inherently dysfunctional that they are unable to do something so basic as to produce the next generation. Entertaining the very thought of “gay marriage” says something not only perverse about a society, but also something very sick about the way it views family to start with.

We grow up with the expectation that we will have children. We impregnate that into our children. It’s how we raise them. Now, that’s all disappearing. It becomes a matter of, “Well, Johnny, if you marry someone of the opposite sex, then you can have kids. But if you don’t, that’s okay.”

And it’s not okay. Not in a society that wishes to remain self-perpetuating.

It’s just as things happened with unilateral divorce—we were told it wouldn’t affect divorce rates substantially. Yeah, freaking right. The same thing with accepting having children out-of-wedlock.

Now we have millions of kids who grow up without parents or from split homes. And I ask: which is more damaging to our society? That? Or al-Quaida?

I think it’s very clearly the disintegration of the American family, and this only helps perpetuate that.
