Government needs to legitimize one woman for one man for the general welfare—the only form of family that leads to equality of the sexes and the model that most guarantees that children will be raised by their biological parents (inalienable right to life in the natural design—biological)—the safest for children, both emotionally and physically.
Government of the US is designed on the ideas of property rights and children being the property rights of their biological parents. Parents have the “duty” to raise any children they bring into the world. Marriage of one man, one woman promotes equality of the sexes and unifies them for the purpose of doing their duty, which if people do their “duty” creates responsible, flourishing societies.
Also for property rights, inheritance, etc. there needs to be a structure to form societies...and anthropology and science has proven that the most successful one is the Christian model. Black’s dictionary defines marriage as one man and one woman which is the understood definition for thousands of years...so it should never be changed.
Marriage is understood to be the fundamental unit of a culture because children need 18 years to mature and be protected and nurtured.
If you destroy the family unit, you destroy the children and then you destroy the culture. That is what Dalrymple is documenting in England right now—the destruction of the family—the complete destruction of the offspring who are being abuse, killed, neglected like in no other generation in the history of man. If they do make it to adulthood they are drug addicts, ignorant, and useless to society—in fact, the cost of their dysfunction is mind boggling. They had no loving parents, so they can’t love anything....especially themselves and are incapable of having any lasting relationships so they create children who are usually taken away because they neglect them.
It is that simple, the cultural Marxist started targeting the family in the 1930’s to destroy it and Christianity—to destroy America. Read up on Marcuse and Gramsci...they explained their plans and implimented it in the curricula of American schools through the socialist John Dewey.
All anthropology has shown the importance of biology and kinship in the formation of societies...that is why Marxist try to destroy that biological connection which is what creates security and happiness in children and their best best for a flourishing future. Prisons are filled with psychologically damaged people who were abandoned by one or both parents which creates dysfunction from addictions to Charles Manson type behavior (he never knew his dad and was sodomized as a boy). Fathers are crucial to healthy sexual identities in males children and also determine if girls grow up to hate or love men and can relate to them.
There is an emotional side to human beings. You are neglecting the emotional health of children by saying govenments should not support marriage of one man and one woman—the best proven method of raising children. Societies can not afford to have emotionally unstable people which is usually caused by no loving mother and father. It is documented.
So tell me how Government recognition of marriage as one man/one woman is working out with the family today, in the US. Or in the UK. Or in any Western society.
Family units are breaking down, and have been breaking down for generations. Government recognition of marriage isn’t helping to stop that, as far as I can tell.
If anything, there is a Biblical basis for polygamy - consider Exodus 21:10 and Deuteronomy 25:5–10. Or Deuteronomy 21:15–17.
I’m not a supporter of polygamy. I am a supporter of getting Government out of the marriage business, since we’re at the situation where Government either recognizes - and thus legitimizes - gay marriage, or just drops recognition altogether. I see lots of potential damage from the former (it’s a foundation for a much stronger push for gay rights in all aspects of society) and - at this point - really no damage from the latter.
