The Supreme Court - About to Play God Again?
the true destination is to destroy the family as a bedrock of civilization
Check out the ad on the right hand side of the page. LOL. Crazy
Attacks on Christians claiming they are old fashioned and bigoted against gays will continue. Meanwhile no attacks toward Muslims.
Correct, the intent is to destroy the Church as has been tried so many times before. It always fails and it will fail again. The gates of hell will not prevail (that would make a good protest chant). But we are certainly in for a big fight ahead.
People have been trying to destroy Christ for 2000 years and God from the beginning........
The MSM media will not be successful either.
Most people who support gay marriage are irreligious, and couldn’t care less what a church does or doesn’t do. If they stop to think about the Church they think it’ll end up about where it is in Western Europe or Japan; about as relevant in the lives of most poeple as their neighbor’s bridge club.
Don’t forget that Navy Chaplains cannot pray in the name of “Jesus”.
The problem with those of the Libertarian bent, folks who have been heavily influenced by Ron Paul and others, who are trying to surrender the fight to defend marriage and the natural family for us, is that they utterly fail to recognize a number of critically important things:
1) The fundamental nature of the marriage bond and its character as the basis for all human civilization, governance and economy.
2) The moral depravity that the homosexual idea represents.
3) The fact that if you give government over to moral depravity you will have destroyed the possibility of republican, constitutional self-government.
Our first President:
“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim tribute to patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness — these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. . . . reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles.”
— George Washington
Our second President:
“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our constitution as a whale goes through a net.”
— John Adams
Our third President:
“No government can continue good but under the control of the people; and . . . . their minds are to be informed by education what is right and what wrong; to be encouraged in habits of virtue and to be deterred from those of vice . . . . These are the inculcations necessary to render the people a sure basis for the structure and order of government.”
— Thomas Jefferson
Our fourth President:
“The aim of every political Constitution, is or ought to be first to obtain for rulers men who possess most wisdom to discern, and most virtue to pursue, the common good of society; and in the next place, to take the most effectual precautions for keeping them virtuous whilst they continue to hold their public trust.”
— James Madison
My wife and I were discussing this issue tonight from a different angle—we were making a list of local churches we’re familiar with that would or would not knowingly accept same-sex married couples into their congregation.
And also be prepared to see your tax-free status rescinded - and have the funds to fight it all the way to SCOTUS.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
Churches can just get out of the business of handling the paperwork for the state regarding marriage. Folks can get ‘married’ at the town hall, or by some agent of the state, anywhere they wish. If they wish, they can have a religious ceremony in the faith tradition of their choice, at any time. If that ceremony has nothing to do with the State, how can the State demand anything of them, with regard to who is, or is not, allowed to have their union ‘blessed’ in any Church?
If religious leaders are taking a position on this, it is not getting much publicity.
