The anger itself is so irrational too. Before this came up, California ALREADY HAD a “civil partnership” law, which gave homosexuals more or less the same rights as married people. They can have a ceremony and call themselves married all they want...even if it’s to their cocker spaniel.
Why it is so important for them to force other to call them legally “married” is more than I can understand.
They want to force the church to marry them and recognize the marriage as spiritually good, in defiance of God's stance on the matter.
It’s also pretty funny that when the voters chose Obama, we Republicans just sit around moping and whining about it, but not threatening or anything. After all, we lost. And the Obama supporters are talking about how the system finally worked and they won! Voting works...
But when the dims lose, they go postal about it. They want to challenge the will of the people; overthrow the will of the people with violence, threats, legal battles, etc. What happened to the system works, and voting works. I guess only when they win.
It is part to shove it in our faces, those who don’t want them redefining marriage.
It is part that they want to redefine marriage in order to ultimately destroy marriage and what it means.
It is in part because they are unhappy, tormented people and will never be happy because they are perverted and their consciences bother them, and they cannot stand to hear anyone telling them they are wrong.
It is part because they demand that everyone must accept them and affirm them.
It is part that they are wicked people doing evil things, and forcing others to call their evil good, and getting others to punish those who oppose them by calling THEM evil, when in fact they are good.
They want it all, and they want to change tradition and FORCE US to accept them. Because in their hearts they know they are perverted.
It is so they can continue to escalate their war on heterosexuality. They want to eliminate free speech and freedom of religion. These people are obviously compensating for their shame. Deep down they know it is sick to define their identity by engaging in filthy pathogenic sexual practices so they project their anger by calling those who stand up for their First Amendment rights "intolerant".
because, in their own minds they have an intense need to feel, what they call “equal”.
However the real story is they need to feel justified.
Inside, they are convicted of their error. In order to overcome the conviction there is the intense need for vindication by demanding what they think is equality, but is in fact a longing for endorsement of their perversion.
It is easily seen whne the conversation leads to “tolerance”. A homosexual will writhe when you say that you already tolerate their behavior, for tolerance is also not what they want.
They want nothing less than a full endorsement of their behavior as morally equal to that of heterosexuality. But even then, they will not be appeased, for the conviction still burns within.
James wrote (4:17?) “For a man to know the right he ought to do and not do it, to that man it is sin”
So as long as the conviction burns within, there will be no peace, regardless how the outside world handles the matter. In a spiritual sense, for such a heart, the agony of hell arrives a bit early. And in this, the evil of the matter can be seen. It is not based upon rational thoughts, but a spiritual battle.
That’s this sheep’s opinion.
YMMV
