Hmmm....
So the moral fiber of individuals is what made marriage work. And the Government intrusion into education is what is breaking down the family, destroying that fiber.
And you don’t see a problem with Government intruding into marriage? If it’s destroyed the moral fiber of America, and the educational system, what makes you think it won’t destroy the concept of marriage - just like it’s doing now?
Welcome to FR, n00b. Good advice would not be quite so vocal about doing away with marriage on a PRO-FAMILY site.
It doesn’t bode well for your future.
The purpose of government is to provide a Rule of Law—a system to protect the Natural Rights of all citizens which includes their posterity. In Natural Law Theory—duties always come before any “rights” and that was the philosophy of our Founders who adopted Natural Law Theory and where the term “Natural Rights” comes from, which presupposes a Supreme Being. (why the laws of nature and nature’s God exists in Declaration and our Rights come from the Creator).
You can’t get much clearer than that.
Just Law which is defined by Cicero as “Right Reason according to Nature”. That is where our government’s idea of Justice comes from—right reason assumes there is a “wrong” reason.
All Just Law has to be based in Right Reason which is governed by the laws of nature....(God’s design)....which is the foundation of reason and logic and science (Newtonian). Cause and effect in nature assumes there was a Creator since all of nature points to a cause. This is the philosophy that was incorporated into the Constitution and as such guarantees our “Natural Rights”. There is a teleological design to man..proven by nature....that is easily knowable to all human beings....and the best, most equal system for human beings to flourish and be productive in the emotionally safest and most flourishing model is marriage which promotes the long term nurturing of their own posterity—the connectivity of the past with the future which gives genetic interest to both and a reason to sacrifice for others. Marriage assures selflessness since there has to be sacrifices made because of the possibility of children. Selfish societies are always destructive societies. Christianity teaches selflessness....and sacrifice...it is why it was so perfect for flourishing, creative, productive societies....and science...it teaches delayed gratification—perseverance which is crucial to intellectual development.
In Natural Law Theory which is the underlying principle of our Constitution, human beings have duties of caring for their biological offspring....which is where the right to personal property originates. It is necessary to ensure the survival of self and offspring. It is the basis of Natural Rights and as such the government has the “duty” to provide a system where human beings will be able to flourish and care for their biological offspring...it is the purpose of government. Marriage is essential to the emotional and physical survival of children....the importance of a mother and father to all children has never been in dispute until marxist studies similar to the global warming ones...to manipulate “feelings” and worldview and promote agendas..... I’ve studied child development and worked with children for decades.
It only started to become “controversial” because of the feminist movement which was developed to remove the mother from her children and destroy patriarchy—destroy the trust that children have in parents. It used to be considered extremely evil to have strangers watch young children up until the Feminist movement—than all the agitprop made “daycare” a good, AFTER they renamed it “preschool” so mothers would fall for the ruse and abandon their young (primates would never do it) to strangers to form the children’s worldview. BK Eakman writes and documents decades of intentional destruction of “fixed beliefs” of children so children will believe up is down etc....there will be no logic—the laws of nature won’t exist. Marx’s design of utopia....where no biological relationships exist so that loyalty and dependence is only for the state.
