You're right. And the problem is twofold: many people confuse the legal institution of marriage with religious institution of marriage. Legal marriage carries rights and obligations, both between spouses and between the spouses and the state. Call it civil unions or call it marriage, I don't care.
I view gay marriage as the political windsock for what God will do to a culture. It's obvious to nearly all that read a Bible of any kind that God considers ass fucking as an abomination. It's obvious to anybody that follows the health profile of a gay man that ass fucking is a health abomination. Their lifespans were way down in the forty year range BEFORE AIDS!! Europe has been homophilic for decades, how are their cultures doing nowadays? "More Socialism pleeezzz, we haven't completely indebted the fourth generation yet, c'mon!!" I recall a moment from the 1980's.. I was riding along going camping, there was some pro-queer news announcement regarding California's leadership.. my buddy turns off the radio and says "well, there goes California, that's the last straw, God won't put up with that" Since then aerospace left the state followed by small businesses and currently God is giving the entire state to good-catholic Mexicans!
Yet he gives man free choice. Did he know your were going to be a commie prick? Probably. But he spared you from the abortionist anyway and saved you from that moment in your childhood where you almost died.
The new ads, paid for by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, feature disturbing images under the headline: âThis is Islamic apartheid.â One of the images shows two blindfolded men having nooses placed over their heads. Below the image, it reads, âGay under Islamic law (Sharia).â http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/ad_bid_on_met_north_rips_islam_XsjNNvDMX2XwTz2hnn6gDK
It's ironic that Americans are going to pass a law that offends the Muslim Americans. (Gay marriage). What other laws will we pass that may offend a minority?
