It is clear that the institution of marriage is as old as human beings themselves. Western civilization does not exist in a vacuum, nor did the Bible cause people to create a condition called marriage. All civilizations, past and present, east and west, establish certain social rules. The institution of civil marriage exists for many reasons, but one of the most important ones is to protect the young. The needs of children are the primary responsibility of adults. Children need to grow up with the guidance of both a father and a mother.
When any society starts to consider the "rights" of adults more precious than the NEEDS OF CHILDREN, that society is walking itself right into a garbage dump. Homosexual adults have no rights to stand up and tell the children of the world that what they do together is natural and normal and desirable. It is not. No child should be educated and encouraged in the homosexual way of life. They should be encouraged to become fully developed according to the laws of nature, which condemn homosexuality and encourage reproduction.
That may not feel good for gays to hear, but that's not my fault. The laws of nature don't care how we feel about them. They apply and we violate them at our own great peril.
the laws of nature Were the laws of nature violated when Luther Burbank, inspired by Darwin's work, invented new varieties of potatoes, plums, prunes, apples, cherries, peaches, quinces, nectarines, tomatoes, corn, asparagus, squash, peas, and various flowers?
The dictionary, for instance, classifies the peach as "Prunus persica" and the nectarine as "Prunus persica var. nectarina," indicating commonality with some differences.
Given that, doesn't it make sense to speculate in human terms such as Homo sapiens and Homo sapiens, var. homosexual?
