The ban on gay marriage
Posted by bob on November 6, 2008
So, since this is a dynamic and touchy topic I must place a disclaimer at the top: I in no way judge or condemn any person. What I am going to say here has to do with sinful actions which we as Christians are called to admonish. The person is and always will be a child of God, beloved.
Okay. So CA passed a ban on gay marriage. I am supportive of this measure. The union of two same sex individuals is not a marriage since it fails to meet the basic requirements of a marriage; to procreate.
I was reading today on Bloomberg.com about this ban and would like to share the following excerpts from the article:
“Real people are suffering today because of the decision we made last night,'' Newsom said yesterday in an interview on local CBS affiliate Chanel 5. “I'm going to continue to fight.'' Derek Morales, a 35-year-old San Francisco resident, was so dejected that the measure had passed that he worked from home yesterday. Morales, who is gay and was raised Catholic, said he's always dreamed of having his wedding in a church some day. Now, with the vote banning gay marriage, he said that dream feels further away. “It's something I've wanted since I was little — to get married in a big Catholic cathedral,'' Morales said.
How and when will this man’s dream ever come true? Even if a marriage amendment was passed to allow gay unions someone please tell me how this could ever happen. This man is so deceived that he believes one day the Catholic Church will allow him to get “married” to another man in a Catholic Church! Does anyone else see the irony here?
God ordained the world with certain operating procedures. God MADE us Man and Woman. Don’t let the world try to change what God made. Listen even to the marital statements from the bible or in the marriage ceremony. What GOD has joined let no man destroy. God didn’t join two dudes.
Why would anyone want to get unionized in a Catholic Church? Why? Because it’s a pretty building? Brother Morales, I pray for you. Honestly I do. But my prayer is not that you get to marry another man. My prayer is that you encounter the love that will fill your heart and sustain you in peace.
Second, read this…..
The campaign to amend the constitution drew more than $70 million to the groups involved in the issue. Apple Inc. donated $100,000 to opponents of Proposition 8. The Cupertino, California-based maker of Macintosh computers joined Google Inc. and Hollywood director Steven Spielberg in opposing the measure.
So, all of you who own and Apple computer……. No comment (I confess I covet one too, especially the really neat one at Best Buy).
I use Gmail, which I’ll be changing soon. As well as my usage of Picasa and any other Google based app. I don’t continue to support organizations that blatantly attack the family.
Steven, I’m very disappointed in you. I don’t think ET will be phoning you anytime soon.
Lastly, there was this comment:
“The cultural acceptance of gay marriage is a long-term process,'' said Kolbert of People for the American Way.
Ms Kolbert….it will be a very long-term process because there will should never be a “cultural acceptance” of something that is soo bad for society. But that is okay, you keep working on it. The longer the fight for gay unions the longer we procreators have to out birth you.
Just imagine the history books in a couple of hundred years. Like the plant eaters and meat eaters before us we’ll be called the procreators and the cohabitates.
