Religious Freedom Act overturned -- morphs into Christian discrimination bill
Ah...what a difference a week makes. Last Thursday I was hailing Mike Pence for his courage. Yesterday, he revealed what he's really made of and the picture isn't pretty. It is always a tragedy when a man, especially a family man, sells out his children. That's exactly what caving in to the gay activist lobby means. The disintegration of the family means the destruction of the culture. Soon Christians will be prohibited from most businesses: food service, photography, any kind of wedding rental, florists, hotels and B&Bs, wedding jewelry, etc., etc. Unless a business owner is willing to actively cooperate in moral evil, the jackboots of political correctness will smash him into the ground.
The fact of the matter is that two people of the same sex cannot marry -- not because of discrimination, but because of the nature of marriage. Marriage isn't just about the love (even perverted love) between two people. A major aspect of marriage that cannot be separated from its meaning is the biological complimentarity that allows creation. Two men and two women are physically unable to marry. Their parts don't fit together. They cannot in any circumstances conceive a new human life. Please don't give me the argument about heterosexuals who are infertile. That is irrelevant. The have the necessary parts. If they don't work, it's unfortunate, but in no way changes the argument.
But those who have been brainwashed by the mantra of "fairness" will turn a blind eye to truth and to the damage of same-sex "marriage" both to individuals and to the culture at large. Let me outline a few examples.
1) To say there is no difference between same sex families and normal families means you must believe that mothers and fathers don't matter. If two men can be parents (Obviously they can't be biological parents.), then mothers are unnecessary. Their role is insignificant and easily filled by a man. If two women can be parents then father's aren't necessary. The father can be substituted by a woman.
I'm a mother. I know that mothers and fathers are both necessary to children. Children raised by same-sex parents have a twisted view of the relationship between men and women. Even many homosexuals agree and in France they developed the motto, "The rights of children trump the right to children."
2) The animosity expressed by homosexuals against Christians and their absolute intolerance of those who disagree with their agenda (including demanding people be fired who contribute to pro-marriage groups) is extreme. Anyone who dares to articulate an opposing position is attacked and ground into the dust. Often they receive hate-filled messages and death threats from these folks who blather on about tolerance but have none for others. Just look what happened to the little pizzeria in Indiana after one of the owners said they would not cater a same-sex wedding. The outpouring of hate including a high school coach urging an arson attack was vicious and evil.
3) Despite claiming that homosexuals are "born that way," homosexual groups actively recruit young people. Check out the disgusting and graphic "Little Black Book," aimed at teaching children homosexual practices. But say the St. Michael the Archangel prayer before you look at it. The lewd materials given to kids urges homosexual experimentation because they know it will lead some kids to embrace the homosexual lifestyle. And let's face it, that's the only way to grow their numbers. Now why, if homosexuals are born, not made, would you need or want to teach youngsters about the disgusting practices described in the Little Black Book?
Nope -- same sex marriage is an oxymoron, an impossibility. A culture that pretends it exists is sick to its core. Pray and do penance for the conversion of our poor, sick, sex-addicted world.
It was disheartening but the stark naked, harsh reality of how fast and far we sink. Like you, I too was applauding and praying. But the MSM immediate and universal condemnation coupled with the reports of Apple, the final four, the Indy 500 (via the city of Indianapolis) made the choice for Mike Pence. Stand your ground, and watch your state sink like an anvil attached to an anchor, or wimp out. No one wants truth; the sexual revolution continues to destroy what we will some day soon be leaving in our children's hands.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Mariann. It's sad when people put their politics above their principles. Indiana may have found out the same think Chik-fil-A did, that the cavalry came riding in to the rescue. Angie's List and other liberal businesses like Starbucks aren't the only characters in the drama!
