What you have said is true. Additionally, the purpose of promoting gay marriage is not because gays are a persecuted group, but rather it is tied to the more vicious motivation of silencing people of faith and denouncing Christians as bigots.

Look.Lets be honest here.The only reason this gay marriage thing is an issue to gays is its just one more step in making there sin acceptable and not a sin.Thats what their agenda has always been.Not tolerance as is always parroted by every tom dick and jane out there.Its not that its a sin as much as we are allowing it and accepting it which is what is dooming this country.It is mind blowing that we live in a supposed democracy which is mob rule and yet this minority is dictating to the rest of the country whats what.

Blankenhorn is looking at the issue from the wrong side. Instead of asking whether the fight against gay marriage has strengthened traditional marriage, he should be asking, Does the promotion of gay marriage harm the family unit? The answer is yes. Marriage between a man and a woman, as ordained by God, is the foundational structure of the family and society as a whole. Divorce has a similar fracturing effect on the family unit, and now it too has become acceptable.

Some professing followers of Judeo-Christian values reverse their opinions on matters established by Holy Writ by writing a long winded dissertation designed to rationalize their departure from views previously held. Thus, Mr Blankenhorn has raised the white flag, cloaked it in euphemisms, justifications, and the result is a surrender to the prevailing views of those who support homosexuality as a lifestyle, and gay marriage as a newly constructed anomaly of a sacred institution. This started in the Garden of Eden, when Satan told Eve that God was a liar. I do not draw my view about gay marriage, an immoral and sinful idea, from the likes of Mr Blankenhorn or other so called media academics and cultural interpreters, but I shall take my cue from the Bible. God save our land, Lord, as more voices have joined the wicked.

The importance of the father who is present and active in a familial relationship is very necessary to rearing children who grow into competent and responsible adults. The question is why do so many men abdicate their responsibility in a familial relationship? The reasons include that he had irresponsible parents, he is from a one parent household, he was spoiled and not taught to be responsible and you probably could add many other reasons. Those who act irresponsible need to face the consequences of their acts. Responsibility needs to be taught. Best to be taught from the cradle on up to maturity, yet there are still some from irresponsible households that recognize the problem and work to correct it.

Homosexuality is like the rotten apple at the bottom of the barrel. It is very hard to get to,and while we are trying to find it is contaminating all around it. The rot is spreading, it has already ruined most of our politicians, to the point we can look for no help from them. It is up to GOD. HE will handle it when the time is right, and he does know the exact point when He will take over. HIS people need to draw near to HIM and accept HIS decisions for us.
