The most logical and sensible argument Mr. Warren has provided.
Can he please endorse McCain and Palin Now? For the love of God!
I have to say that I have been critical of Warren in the past because I thought he was too touchy-feely; however, since the forum where he asked tough questions and exposed Obama, I began to respect him a little more. And with his support of Prop 8, I respect him even more.
Joe knows basic plumbing. Real marriage is between a man and a woman.
Thanks to Rick Warren for some simple truths.
Why can’t we have people, even if they are religious, even if they are “social conservatives’ just say:
“Look: no one is advocating anyone go and arrest a gay couple living together. But, the foundation of marriage, as an institution IS NOT ROOTED in modern notions of romantic love, it is rooted in human biology, human reproduction, the very human need to secure those things in a committed, loyal relationship, for the mutual security of each partner’s reproductive rights and for the joint security of the lives of their children.
Any number of two individuals, hetero, “homo” or whatever, have been often well-known and more often unknown, life-long romantic partners, without the “benefit” of marriage. So what? Usually, everyone let them be, and so should we and so should we not be forced to call an apple an orange just because, in a “romantic sense” one might call them equal. The term “equal” does not equal “same”.
A “romantic couple” and a “married couple” are not the same and need not be reduced to being called by the same nomenclature, in order for society to “respect their individual rights”.
