"And when they have emptied and swept clean the soul of him who is now in their power and who is being initiated by them in great mysteries, the next thing is to bring back to their house insolence and anarchy and waste and impudence in bright array having garlands on their heads, and a great company with them, hymning their praises and calling them by sweet names; insolence they term breeding, and anarchy liberty, and waste magnificence, and impudence courage. And so the young man passes out of his original nature, which was trained in the school of necessity, into the freedom and libertinism of useless and unnecessary pleasures." -Plato's Republic book 8, on Democracy.

The terms "same-sex partnerships," "domestic partnerships," and "civil unions," have entered our political discourse only recently.

They should use the correct term..."PERVERTED MARRIAGE"

"So, what is driving the demand for same-sex marriage? In the end, it has to be a desire to dethrone marriage as the one paramount obstacle to the full normalization and acceptance of same-sex relationships."

Fantastic post, Sionnsar.

Mohler is almost right in the above assertion. But the dethroning of marriage is only an intermediate step in this assault. It is merely one of the battlegrounds in the attempt (ill-fated, as we know) to dethrone God himself. Marriage is, as Paul explained in Ephesians, a metaphor that illuminates the very mystery of the relationship between Christ and his church. Destroy marriage and you destroy a link to our understanding of our relationship to God. But destroy language and I think the enemy truly believes you will have destroyed the one who is known as the Word. The one who was with God, who was God and who became flesh and dwelt among us.

Here is a link to the article that Mohler refers to. Well worth the read:
