This article is long and old but it's relevant today, IMO, due to the issue before the Supreme Court.

That's also why I put it in News/Activism rather than the Religion section.

I think Prager has a newer version of this piece that he did a year or so ago. I will see if I can find it. It’s a great article, and still as relevant as when he wrote it.

When Judaism demanded that all sexual activity be channeled into marriage, it changed the world

No, Dennis. God did the demanding, and still today many Jews aren’t listening. And yes, it is changing the world.

The argument hold true, which shows that “gay marriage,” is no more than a ploy to mask the actual behavior of homosexuals, male homosexuals in particular.

I skimmed over the article but I wonder if Talmudic law and the Old Testament regarding homosexuality didn’t also have a “protective” value.

By prohibiting homosexual acts (i.e. between men), it also protected young male children from them.

Could this have been the origins of later western laws protecting young child from pedophiles, homosexuals, and incest?

The Moslems never had laws like this. Neither did the Greeks (not sure about the Romans though Caligula liked anyone within reach).

It would be interesting for someone to comment on Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Zoroasterism, etc. to see if they also had these types of prohibitions (i.e. protecting children from adult sexual predations and homosexual acts).

I’m proud of my Jewish ancestors. They understood that for a society to succeed in a positive way, certain acts had to be forbidden for themselves. What the others did was largely their business for better or worse.

Just look around the world today and tell me what you see.

Prager’s excellent essay on homosexuality is a must read. After reading it, I can say that America’s future is hanging on the edge of a cliff. It has been pushed by the unrestrained polymorphous sexual drive of men who have cast off the traditional Judeo-Christian values that have set us apart in human history.

Thank you for posting this. It’s a long but brilliant piece, filled with well reasoned arguments and insight. More than worth the time to read, it’s something worth reading several times to understand how we got to where we are as a civilization, and where we are headed if we accept gay “marriage.”

Wow, once the radical leftists read this it will strengthen their anti-semitism to past nazi levels.

Maybe this is another reason the far left leftist freaks are so quick to outright hate orthodox jews....

I agree that homosexuality should be given no quarter, nor housed in safety.

I have no heirs. I lay the blame on the parents of these deviants, for not ‘taking care of their own problem’, and foisting public law upon me, to pay tax, legally coddle them, and by law only, accept them as part of society. That is part of Clinton’s legacy, too, in that federal anti-discrimination bill he signed.

Now that this abhorrent matter is in front of The U.S. Supreme Court, I expect all sorts of tomfoolery, and mockery, with the prime-time talking head harlequins running over each other, in their attempts to further fill their resume’s.

I see the Jews are still “boasting in the Law” (Rom. 2). :-)

God blessed Israel when He gave them the Law. Yet Prager speaks more of what the Bible gave than what God gave. In fact, he goes so far as to claim that the Bible gave us the idea of God!

It’s worth noting that Israel did not yet exist when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Marriage had existed since the days of Adam and Eve, and sodomy had been an abomination ever since “male and female He created them.”

The Law of Moses was given to bless the nation of Israel. It would preserve them from the destruction that befalls iniquitous nations. Time after time, however, Israel ignored, perverted, and violated the Law - and paid the consequences.

I wish everyone commenting would forego the use of the term “GAY”. I find it’s use offensive and HOMOSEXUAL is much clearer
