Christians should quit wasting time attacking gay marriage

Gee, Holly...
Why does that deserve a whole article?

Is it OK if we simply don't promote it or support it?
Will you let us do that?

"If the word is doublespeaked to include homosexuals ... then it will not be too long before society comes up with some new expression to describe that unique heterosexual institutional bonding within which procreative potential is contained."

Exactly. True marriage will always distinguish itself from all the impostors. But the impostors will, in their irrational jealousy, demand that new expression for their own, by force of law if necessary. Better to defend the original term with the last ounce of our blood - an increasingly conceivable proposition.

Can we say *ag hag?

It's drain on the government to grant legal benefits to these "partnerships". Let them play house but why must we humor them?

That’s the face of an airhead if I’ve ever seen one.

I like Giuliani’s “broken windows” analogy which he used to clean up New York. Now pro gay-marriage Rudy might be the wrong person to use as an example, but what he did concerning crime made sense. Letting the small stuff go just encourages the libs to make more mischief. But I don’t see homosexual marriage as inconsequential or petty. It represents a major detorioration and break down in our social structure. So every time some lets-all-live-together type rag scribbler says we shouldn’t be concerned, I get REAL concerned.

“What if everyone from the religious right who is disputing gay marriage devoted their efforts to improving society in ways that might actually effect change?”

Ahhh, vote for change! These idiots can never keep their agenda hidden.

It is wrong, but it’s just a symptom.

There’s a graphic that applies - showing the secular humanist fortress attacking the base of the Christian fortress (Scripture) while the Christian fortress is shooting at balloons labeled “homosexual marriage, abortion, etc” floating over the SH fortress.

Gay “marriage” is just one of the facets on the attack on the basis of society -

the traditional family.

Because everything the left does has the effect and intent of destroying the traditional family.

Yo, did you steal that from me? It's word for word what I post on the issue.
Welcome to it if you did. GMTA if not.

So a woman who can’t bear children cannot by definition be married? That’s the silliest thing I’ve heard in some time.

Why are so many squandering precious time in an attempt to outlaw gay marriage? We could be putting our efforts for God to much better use!

A better question might be, "Why are you squandering precious time writing such absolute piffle?"

Tell you what, Ms. Lafferty. You go ahead and work on the issues you care about and we'll do likewise? Deal?
