OldNavyvet I think her name was.

I was told she was pushing other left wing agendas and called us all on here and those who supported the IN law as “backwards and bigots”

God's view from Genesis:

Genesis 1

English Standard Version (ESV)

26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

The end of Genesis 2 is even more explicit when God specifically instituted marriage as between a man and a woman.

The Constitution was written to reign in government. Now what is written to reign in interpreting the Constitution? Judges see it as forbidding nothing in the guise of individual freedom. This needs to be stopped. But the opposition is disintegrated. Jews think that suppressing Palestinians is their highest calling and Christians separate on whether or not Mary can help us. These distractions prevent us from stopping the real evil engulfing us. We are being subjected to the legalization of evil. And I’m not talking about Obamacare or a balanced budget. Both parties are contributory. Either they must change or another should rise. We need a leader ‘to restore the fortunes of the land before’ as spoken by the LORD.

And once they force the acceptance of polygamy and child brides, what happens to Warren Jeffs? They just turn him loose and say “Sorry?”

That’s the only reason that it is, indeed, getting warmer!

Never the 1974 Vega for me....too fickle to “marry.” The others? For sure a yes.

This is one of the best articles that I've read on the subject. For those of us with family members who are homosexuals, these words ring true:

Law in a democracy has limits. It is not a remedy for lack of self-esteem. It cannot force your relatives to attend your wedding or your neighbours to invite you over for a barbeque. It cannot make people like you; it cannot stop people from scowling at you. Only in North Korea does the law compel you to love the Dear Leader and to laugh at his jokes.

Same-sex marriage is controversial enough. But a debate over enforcing “meaningful, day-to-day equality” after same-sex marriage is legalized could be even more traumatic.

God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity

18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people,

****who suppress the truth by their wickedness,****

19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 1: 18-32

While I don't want to, I soon expect folks will be wanting to marry their pet dog, and have multiple marriages (like a 3-way marriage of three people to each other). The courts in the US and Germany have already had challenges to incest laws. So I think that it is truly open season on “marriage.” We have reality shows on sister wives showing multiple wives. Hey, it is a Muslim religious belief to have multiple wives, so I expect some will demand that soon in the name of religious freedom.

It really is a slippery slope.

Exactly. We work closely with a very successful client who is gay. After I had some time to know him and his associates better I concluded that they want to be what they are not - normal.

There is no wrong blood in this fight. If it’s ours, there is no nobler cause. If it’s theirs, maybe they’ll get the message.

Or perhaps they will run out of it? :)

What is implied by this “meaningful, day-to-day equality”? That relatives, neighbours and colleagues must extend warm congratulations and shower gay and lesbian couples with best wishes and toothy smiles?

Jokes about how many kids the newlyweds will have will be replaced with odd comments about how to clean off that member after using it.

The society will tend toward pleasure-orientation, laxity, and total distraction. We'll be a pushover for our enemies.

Destruction of the church is the end game. Actually the real end game is the destruction of society and the Constitution but destroying the church is the pivotal step in that direction.

I suppose the average homo's view of a utopian society involves a lot of hugging and bad clothing decisions.
