Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that Marriage is one man and one woman. Nor is there any Superior Court case which says our Right to marriage is limited to a man and a woman.
The Supreme Court had an opportunity to make that decision.
Instead they left stand the Federal Courts decision that the right of marriage applies equally to a couple consisting of two people of the same gender.
What your opinion is regarding what marriage is- or is not- ultimately is meaningless.
10 states and the District of Columbia have recognized that the right of marriage extends to same gender couples.
Some additional 20 states have had courts recognize that the right of marriage extends to same gender couples.
But don't worry- no one will force you to 'gay marry'- or even force you to attend a wedding you don't approve of.
Of course "Gay Marriage" might well harm your marriage...........
Gay marriage does more than harm other marriages. It injects a poison into the entire culture.
What harm do other marriages cause?
Who has died because of gay marriage?
How have you been personally harmed by two persons of the same gender marrying?
It seems to me that Sodom, Gomorrah, and a few other cities were eventually destroyed as a result of their view of sex and marriage. And it seems to me that when the Nazis began running for office, not just a few Jews imagined that everything would be okay and that they had nothing to fear --- given the fact of their heroics during the Great World War and nationalism. And I have not been personally harmed by the institution of gay marriage, but who is to say how those who disagree will be treated in the near future simply for their beliefs...
Great that you mentioned the Nazi's- who specifically selected homosexuals for discrimination and concentration camps.
Feel free to prove that ANY city, ever, has been destroyed as a result of their view of sex and marriage.
Personally I have never been harmed by Christians, but that doesn't mean I should assume that I will be mistreated by Christians in the future- simply because of my beliefs.
The story concerning Lot is found in the Bible. Feel free to prove that the histories found in other historic books is not fiction . As for the Nazis, it has been recorded that the Gestapo had not just a few who practiced sadism and homosexual acts on prisoners. Being labeled a homosexual in a concentration camp did not necessary mean that one was. It was just as likely to make that one a target of those who where. I do believe that such a time will come again as deviants gain an upper hand in society.
The Nazis were the manifestation of pure evil. Many of not most of the NAZIS hierarchy were homosexuals, including Histler himself. All of which serves reason in that homosexuality doesn't just deviate from the human physiological normality, it is the pure antithesis of normal human sexual physiology; meaning that it is impossible for a human being to stray farther from human sexual normality, than homosexuality; homosexuality is quite literally the INVERSE of human sexuality. This, of course, standing contrary to the current whimsy of western pop-culture, which holds that homosexuality is otherwise perfectly normal.
It is through this fact, and the mass-delusion that such represents, that we can know the 'evil' that such truly represents.
The human mind is designed to calculate for 'truth'. Where it comes to a state where it rejects that which is otherwise obviously true, we can be certain that the mind is infected with, or is otherwise experiencing a serious issue which represents nothing short of a defect, which prohibits it from working 'normally'.
Now while a function of semantics, we can either conclude that there is a natural force which rejects that which is good, this force we call 'evil', or we can conclude that such dissonance is environmental.
The net result is the same... as both will lead to no good, producing chaos, calamity and catastrophe.
In the book: The Population Bomb, the authors report the findings of their years of research, wherein mammals were placed within fixed environments. There was plenty of food, plenty of room and life was generally good for all subjects, who went about their lives as do all mammals, tending to their fundamental needs of food, shelter and procreation. Over time, as the population increased, the static environment became insufficient in terms of space and food.
In every one of their repeated experiments, as the environmental resources became less sufficient, three events came to pass.
The First:
A growing percentage of the study population came to develop a sense of entitlement to the property which had been otherwise secured by and readily attributable to other subject individuals.
The Second:
Instances of Homosexuality, exploded... .
The Third"
Mass-Insanity... wherein at a point, beyond the first two, as the collective angst grew, eventually causing the culture to split into opposing factions; wherein those experiencing the sense of entitlement, demonstrated through the open theft of the property of others, aligned with the homosexual faction... at some point, the joined factions, in one of the random attacks upon a member of the 'normal' faction, ignited an explosive free for all of mayhem and death, wherein the normal subject faction instantly turned on the abnormal group in unbridled carnage. Inexplicably, previously undocumented behaviors such a cannibalism, wherein the homosexual and socialist subjects were literally eaten alive... continuing unabated until the population was returned to that which provided for viability.
In the wake of the carnage was observed to be no presence of any sense of entitlement or homosexuality and such did not return until the angst of environmental stress returned.
Such traits eventually came to be understood as harbingers of a massive, albeit a wholly natural correction of the society, resetting such to a state of viability within its static environment.
From this, we can know that what we see in the insanity of large segments of people exhibiting the observed traits of the harbinger, through their otherwise inexplicable irrationality, is the indication that the World is about to again launch into the free for all which we have come to know as "World War".
(It should be noted here that Islam presents the entitlement sense... and such is born out through its inexplicable alliance with the Ideological Left, which is aligned with the homosexuals, who Islam has absolutely no tolerance... thus the alliances are exclusionary from reason, except where they both seek to dominate the normal faction...)
Such is obviously different in terms of its execution, than that demonstrated by lower-species, but in terms of the outlined, overriding traits, there appears to be little distinction.
What's more, in terms of efficacy, with the first WW and second WW, only having provided for 30 then 70 years of respective abated stress, my guess given the scope of the observed afflictions of such vast populations; being subject to such deep psychosis, this next one is going to be beyond the means of most, if not all of us, to imagine. My guess is that where the former corrections produced reductions in human population of only minor percentages, this next one, coming I believe within a few years, will be many orders of magnitude larger. Likely providing for the survival of only a minor percentage of the species... we're talking a massive correction, on a Biblical scale.
Which, also serves reason, given that what we are clearly seeing here is the return of "OLD TESTAMENT" evil...
