I thought everybody was afraid of "homosexuals preying on our children." However, now that some homosexually gai people are willing to give heterosexually gai (heterosexual) people what they have always wanted, e.g. "Get the homos off the streets," heterosexuals worship on the alter of semantics and say, "No! The word 'marriage' is too sacred and holy!" Damn, if heterosexually gai people are so hung up on words verses conduct, call it something else call it pair bonding, gai lifetime bonding or wagon wheel. Hell, there is nothing sacred about a two bit word -- or is it a four bit word? How about 6 bits? Do I hear 8?. Man's conduct towards his fellowman is however, in the Catholics terminology, a Cardinal Sin, a gross violation of the laws of God for which Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed (see discourses entitled Genesis 2:24, King Constantine, The 13th Apostle and The Sin of Sodom & Gomorrah).
Heterosexually gai people aren't fooling God. By their inner most thoughts which God is privy to, heterosexually gai people have had a long standing animosity towards homosexually gai people for simply daring to reach out and grasp a freedom and right they themselves want to enjoy but are too afraid!
First, if homosexuality is really so detestable and despicable, why would anyone care. Wouldn't any rational, thinking individual, child though he or she may be, be able to detect the vileness of an act? How many beatings does a child have to receive from an abusive parent to realize how gross, vile and painful it is?
Secondly, for years, my parents were concerned about us being out after dark or later at night for fear that a homosexual would prey on us. I realize that now society is more concerned with guns killing their children, not only after dark but all throughout the day. My parents and their friends used to rant and rave about how unstable homosexuals were and that anyone succumbing to that lifestyle would never amount to anything. My parents said those people who couldn't be tamed and they were slaves to their wanton sexual passions and desires. Listening to my parents talk, marriage is an unnatural lifestyle or condition to which no true homosexual or gai person would allow themselves to be subjected.
How that gay people are trying to form stable cohesive relationships, not only to care for each other but also for a growing number of homosexual families with children, society says, "NO!" The institution of marriage is too sacred and holy...!" Sacred. What is so damn sacred about a word or concept. There is only one word in any language that is sacred and man has already bastardized it and uses it as a cuss word.
Nothing in the human experience is any more sacred and holy than the rights of every human him or herself. Absolutely, nothing at all is sacred except the words and names of God, Jesus Christ, Allah, Jehovah, Buddha, Eloheim!
What is so sacred or holy about the word marriage? We already bastardize the word "marriage" when we use it to say, 'Two companies married!' Dan Quayle did another "Dan Quayle potatoe" faux pas when he said he was opposed to gay marriages because, "They can't procreate." Since when was that ever a criteria for human rights. To corporations can't procreate or can they? There are millions of heterosexually married couples who "refuse" to procreate. There are millions of babies born each year to victims or participants of incest! Does Mr. Quayle endorse and sanction incestuous marriages -- regardless of the ages of the participants -- because it leads to procreation?
If the word "marriage" is an idolatrous concept for Christians choose another word like "bonding." Two people of either gender that form a pair bond for peace, love and security of that family unit are indeed mutual "spouses." Love is the basis of any family unit.
Forget about what other countries do! America was established by God to be a model and the vanguard for human rights for everybody on the faced of the earth. Through American leadership, every other nation that recognizes human rights and the worth of the individual will be bless, exceedingly. Is America abdicating its role and responsibility as established by God?
God said,
Genesis 2:18
18 ¶ ... [It is] not good that the man should be alone;
In Timothy 4:1-4 we also read that Paul was admonishing and warning
the saints, that in the last days, people would forbid others to marry,
(Warning: watch out people, you're treading on thin ice!)
1 ¶ Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
The full faith and credibility of the United States of America in
recognizing and honoring the full human rights and responsibilities of
every individual, it is also the very basis of the freedom of
choice endowed every living human being on the face of the earth, by
none other than God Himself!
It is everyone's right to marry whomever they choose. Christ said, "Whatsoever God has joined together, let no man put asunder." Christ did not say, "Whatsoever God has joined together heterosexually, let no man put asunder." All America can do is recognize two people's union legally. God already recognizes pure intent of the individuals. "Man looks upon the outward appearance of man but God looks upon the heart."
Speaking of legal recognition which is the only providence of government, heterosexually married are guaranteed many facets of life simply because they are "married." I'm not a legal scholar so I can't speak to the issue fully. I was called in these days, simply because of the growing number of people, and people problems.
Back to the issue of the law, legally "heterosexually" married couples -- whether or not their hearts are sincere, a requirement to be recognized by God -- have the power of attorney and able to visit and care for a sick loved one in the hospital however, individuals of gay marriages not legally recognized by governments, are greatly restricted access if not also prohibited entirely. There are numerous benefits a hospital extends to a "married individual" that it refuses to spouses of gay marriages. Then there are survivors benefits. The home they shared for 30 years, if they weren't smart enough to protect the assets of the marriage, good 'old' benevolent Uncle Sam confiscates everything. Then there is the subject of the children of the dying spouse. If they are not old enough to assume the full rights and responsibilities of an adult citizen, the family is broken up and the children farmed out to other families. The horror stories would make any sane person cringe with disgust and indignation and demand more human treatment of every citizen. In the end, that will determine to quality of a government, e.g. how fully do they recognize the human rights of each and every one of God's children and how well do they protect those rights!
The latest polls says that 70% of Americans feel that everyone should have the same rights, whether heterosexual or homosexual. But their cognitive logic fails when only 38% of Americans feel that gay people's marriages should be legally recognized. God already recognizes a marriage commitment of the heart regardless of the gender of the participants, however, below is an itemization of benefits which God says should be legally extended to all.
Rep. Steve Largent said that the definition of marriage being one woman, one man is tradition. People, for God's sake, forget about tradition! This life is to progress (change), not adhere to tradition. If God wanted mankind to follow the traditions of their forefathers, Steve Largent would never have played football nor become a representative of the people of Louisiana. Steve Largent would have been a camel jockey herding sheep somewhere in the middle east, child labor would still be the status quo, children would continue to be exploited sexually and physically, women would not be allowed to go to school but would have to stay home, keep quiet and stay pregnant, men would continue to sexually chase after and impregnate whoever they wanted without legal repercussions. Government were established by God to advance, guarantee and protect the rights of its people.

If you've read this, thought about it and even prayed about it and still go away unconvinced, if nothing more, THINK OF BEING SELFISHLY PROTECTIVE OF OUR CHILDREN and of course AIDS. Sanctioning gay marriages will get homosexuals off the streets and away from our children and two people who are not HIV positive can't get AIDS or pass it on it they are in a monogamous relationship!
THINK OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND SAYING!!!!!!!!!!
