Why Bother?: Why Some Christians Aren’t Fighting Same-Sex ‘Marriage’

Okay, here's the entire text of the original post:

To: Mr. Silverback

Theoretically, your estate could be dissipated among people who have no blood relation to you whatsoever within 2 generations if gay marriages are upheld.

And I believe this is a large, but unspoken motivation among the gay activists. It's just covert destruction.

I read that as saying that you don't want your estate to be spread among people with whom you do not have a blood connection. You even call it "destruction."

My response was twofold:

First, that blood relation is not the only family that's important (I have aunts and uncles whose families are entirely comprised of adopted kids, meaning their estates will most certainly be spread amonst people not of blood relation), and

Second, that who your kids leave their money (and whatever remains of yours) is totally out of your control anyway.

Now, I'm willing to concede that I may have misintrepreted your meaning. Nuance tends to be lost in posts, and I might have jumped to conclusions. Would you care to explain it in detail?

Gawd! Not really. But.

If you are saying that I cannot approve of adoption because I caution that abandoning procreation as the primary form of familial identity will undermine the family, destroy incentive for the conservation of wealth and create apathy for the welfare of future generations you are wrong.
