He pointed out that the marriage has drastically declined in Scandinavian countries that have legalized gay marriage.
Meant to say: the marriage RATE has drastically declined in Scandinavian countries ....
Keyes is an ORATOR. And the best I've heard by far.
The Road to Destruction
To despise the Creator
Begins the journey
The road to destruction
For the individual
Or for a nation
The road to the gulag
The extermination camp
The guillotine
The abortuary
All begin in the same place
To despise the Creator
Is soon to despise people
Men, women, children
Babes in the womb
Made in His Image
And in the train
Of the Destroyer
Liberty evaporates
Like a summer dream
Enveloped in darkness
EV
That doesn't make any sense.
Keyes comes very close to calling for majority rule in his speeches. - He should say it isn't so, -- but he never does.
Again, huh?
Here's a similar argument: The immutable laws of nature do not change. People used to believe that the Earth was flat and heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones. But we don't believe that today. Is this a contradiction? Did the immutable laws of nature change merely because our understanding of them changed? As for the God argument, how then do you explain Vatican II? How about Protestantism? Mormanism? What about the heliocentric view of the universe of Galileo and Copernicus? There's a lot of Muslims out there that think we've gone too far. Is that an argument? No! I see something that you wrote -- not God.
Just finished reading the whole speech, most of it out loud to someone else. Incredible mind that man has.
He makes several very valuable points that I haven't seen all together in one place. He makes it ultra clear why marriage IS INDEED about procreation and to deny that is to detroy the family and therefore society.
He makes it clear that hedonism is the wrong, not just homosexuality. And he descibes exactly why and how this is so.
He also describes how this judicial usurping of power will destroy the country unless it is checked.
I hope many people read or hear this speech. Every word is valuable. If people think it's too long, that just means that their attention spans are too short and maybe they should watch less TV.
Try arguing the points made in Keyes' speech. See if you can refute them.
Family life has without a doubt taken a hit in those countries...and the kids are the losers.
The reverberations from that will echo down the generations.
This country, with the help of the left, is getting sicker and sicker as each day passes........ Lord help us!!!!!
You're right, of course. I think selfishness has a lot to do with it. As Dr. Keyes says, a selfish, hedonistic approach to relationships is incompatible with marriage.
Perhaps that's your problem?
Reminds me of the ignoramuses who think homosexual conduct has no negative consequences.
You make this statement as though it were objective reality, whereas it is merely your factfree opinion:
"Times change, and old lines of questions become obsolete."
Times change? What does that mean - north isn't north anymore, water isn't wet anymore, what exactly do you mean?
Old lines of questions - we can't ask people who their fathers are anymore? Is it illegal? Doesn't matter? LINES of questions? Your statement makes no sense.
Become obselete? How? Why? In what way? Something is obslelete if it is replaced by something else which renders it useless or broken. What has become useless, and what has replaced it?
BUMP to your post
Very eloquent. But I would argue that The road to the gulag, The extermination camp, The guillotine, The abortuary, All begin in the same place -- all began with one group of people in power denying their country's rights to another group of people. Perhaps we are "despising the Creator" by shutting out gay people, using the same Christian poetic rhetoric that shut out women from voting and blacks from owning property.
My words are in common english.
It's sad that you can't understand them.
Perhaps it's not?
Well, explain yourself then.
Maybe my comprehension skills are lacking.
