The ancient Greeks and Romans thought they were on the “right” side of history. History has proved otherwise.

“wrong side of history!” memes are like the race card for the left. They love to say it in order to marginalize the opponents of their agenda, but like the author intelligenetly states, the left believed this about virtually everything they have ever tried to do. “Unions are the future! Conservatives are on the wrong side of history!” Well, now unions are biting the dust all across the country. This is simply Alinsky writ large.

They compare it to the interracial marriage issue, that the history aspect is the same, when it is completely different. Bans on interracial marriage were a product of Darwinian evolutionary theory and the insane eugenics craze of his proteges. They were a flash in the pan as far as history goes. Whereas same sex marriage has never in the history of civilization been legal even during times of maximum acceptance of sodomy (see ancient Greece and Rome). Over 2000 years and not one grain of this concept anywhere on the globe. That tells you that its odds of surviving the exceedingly long tide of ‘history’ are practically nil.

And as I have often said, if I need be on the ‘wrong side of history’ to be on the right side of eternity, then so be it. History is a product of man. Eternity is a product of God.

Yes, but Jesus is the King of History and he might have a few things to say to those judges overturning the will of the people.

There is no “side” of history. These people are knuckleheads.

They use marriage as a veil for sodomy.

People don't marry each other. The government marries them.

There is no loss of freedom involved.

... but none in thousands of years has defined marriage as the union of people of the same sex.

Juvenal called it:

"I have a ceremony to attend," quoth one, "at dawn to-morrow, in the Quirinal valley." "What is the occasion?" "No need to ask: a friend is taking to himself a husband; quite a small affair." Yes, and if we only live long enough, we shall see these things done openly: people will wish to see them reported among the news of the day.

  'Marriage Equality' is a marketing slogan and it worked very well. No one wants to be against 'equality.' People who state the obvious truth that marriage recognizes a unique relationship between a man and a woman are shunned. It is unique. It is not equal to anything.

I still think this gigantic campaign for gay marriage is engineered in the shadows by divorce lawyers. Who wouldn’t want such a massive increase in their customer base? And I’m actually sort of serious about that. Always follow the money.

We no longer have free government. We are not a free people. Our government is arbitrary. When one man lives at the will of another, that man is a slave.

No election can reverse eighty years of anti-constitutional court decisions. Elections increasingly serve to determine who will be our masters.

There is little time.

Electorate: All the people in a country or area who are entitled to vote in an election.

“Who are entitled” is the key so the story is misleading to begin with. Based on the story out of 100% of the people entitled to vote, voted which is BS. A small number of folks entitled to vote actually voted and out of that small percentage XX% voted for.

Doesn't matter what I think, it matters what God says. I think he is against it, at least that is what the Bible says.

In time, proponents of same sex marriage will publicly be portrayed as sewer dwelling filth.

What the hell do they care? Actually?

The agenda has been to SMASH THE PATRIARCHY, SMASH MONOGAMY, and establish antiestablishmentarianism (end the rule of law, upend the church, wrong is right, down is up).

They aren’t concerned about history or moving forward. They seek to overturn the applecart and fulfill their own carnal desires.

Same sex divorce and the adopted children of such self-centered relationships are never discussed.

As they said in the 60s, “LA LA LA LA LA LA ,live for today...”

Various forms of socialism (national socialism, soviet socialism, etc.) were also on the “right side of history” and that terrible error lasted nearly a century. Being on the right side of history doesn’t mean something is a good idea.

Redefining Marriage: Proponents of same-sex marriage insist they’re “on the right side of history.”

I'd say they were on the back side of history

Ponder this:

The media keeps referring to that NBA guy as “the only openly gay player”. Does that mean there are dozens of closeted gays in the league?

What say I? Heterosexual marriage is the testimony of history except for the last decade or so. Unnatural marriage is, then, flawed in the eyes of history. In fact, unnatural marriage is rejected STILL in a majority of this current world. So, not only is it flawed historically, but it is flawed NOW.

What will come of it?

It will make our children’s culture far more dangerous.

It is time for Christians to first be tied in the bonds of Holy Matrimony in their churches, and afterwards to go to the justice of the peace for a license. It is time for natural marriage Christian Churches to AGREE on a document of Holy Matrimony, which can only be issued by one of the churches in the agreement.

Why Matrimony? Because the root word is MOTHER. It is the holy estate designed as a protective environment for mothering. Unnatural marriage can NEVER be that.

only people that have never studied history would make such a claim.
