I always find it interesting that when people oppose homosexual marriage, they say it's going to "destoy the family". I think this is a lie that Christians are perpetuating to make their opposition make more sense, and perhaps be more palitable, to the outside world.
In reality, homosexual marriage isn't gonna do a damn thing to traditional marriage. Tradition marriage is and always will be approved of by God. Whether the states endorses it or not, isn't gonna make any difference in heaven.
The most damaging thing homosexual marriage will do is raise the divorce percentage in the USA. Well, maybe not even that, since homosexuals are not that prolific and apparently there's a large number of them that aren't interested in marriage anyway. So if nothing else it'll look really weird and they'll get taxed more. (Yay for the government! :P)
What I see is that Christians are by-and-large ignoring the two biggest killers of marriage: adultry and divorce. Both of these things directly break one of the most important oaths made before God.
The average Christian will say adultry and (sometimes) divorce is wrong. Yet in the supposedly "Christian" community, divorce (I dunno about adultry) is commited just as much as the "pagans". That tells me Christians are only giving lip service to marriage and to God.
If organizations against homosexuality really cared about marriage, they would start by building strong marriages and trying to pass laws that encouraged strong marriages. They would go on huge campeigns and make it a social movement to start and promote healthy marriages.
But they don't.
I can only conclude that Christianity is suffering from a complex. We can't stand people sexually sinning because we do it so much ourselves! In an attempt to not have to deal with our own serious problems we go after other people and other things that really have nothing to do with us.
Let me summerize: When people say homosexuality--especially the marriage part--somehow threatens traditional marriage and families, it just goes to show how WEAK traditional family has become. Shame on all the Christians and people in the world who think of it that way!
Shame on Christians! Christians should be strong enough to simply admit that homosexuality is bad, and that endorsing it socially is a bad idea. And when people ask why, Christians better start coming up with better answers.
Oh yeah, and that whole thing about traditional marriage being around for ages, etc etc, and that's why it should be kept the way it is. Lets remember some things: For thousands of years polygomy was considered "traditional" marriage to. If we're gonna go by history we should start endorsing that too. Homosexuality has also been around for years (just read your Bible folks), and in some societies (like the Japanese) it was actually pretty well accepted. So if we're gonna go by history, homosexuality really isn't that odd or "bad".
I'm honest about why I don't like homosexuality: God calls it a sin. And just like all sins, we need to repent and turn to Christ. But it's no worse or greater a sin then people having sex when they're unwed.
I'm D2M and I approve of this Message!
