What is Marriage?

1/13/2013

For millennia, society has defined marriage as a male-female union. But all that is changing, almost over night.

In this video, authors Sherif Girgis, Ryan Anderson, and Robert George discuss what marriage is and why it matters.

They also explain why redefining marriage will cause unusually serious damage to society.

There is obviously a higher agenda at work here, to expend such a ridiculous amount of time and effort pandering after a tiny minority, who are forever bleating about their ‘rights’. A mere 2% of the population identify themselves as ‘homosexual’ and it is very questionable just how many of these have any interest in ‘marriage’.

The very idea of same-sex marriage is nonsense, but indeed it is dangerous nonsense - pursued with subversive intent and purpose far beyond the issue at hand. Atheistic political and media elites do not expend such ferocious energy promoting this half-baked issue for nothing. It is all about the insatiable quest for control - and domination of the public square by demonising all Christian thought and practice. Supporters of secular values do not tolerate dissent and their ambition to eliminate religious belief is very alarming. In the name of tolerance it appears tolerance itself is being abolished. The propaganda of secularism and its high priests want us to believe that religion is dangerous for our health. It suits them to have no opposition to their vision of a ‘brave new world’, the world which they see as somehow governed only by people like themselves.

In the UK for example, in May last year the Law Society revoked the booking of their premises for a major marriage conference hosted by Christian Concern and the World Congress of Families ("One Man One Woman - Making the case for marriage, for the good of society”). Although the conference was to feature a contribution by senior High Court Judge Sir Paul Coleridge, the Society claimed that the event was contrary to its ‘diversity’ policy. In a stroke, it effectively reduced ‘diversity’ to 'deviancy alone' (i.e. to unnatural sex, its practitioners and advocates).

In response, Christian Concern's David Skinner said this……’the daylight appears to be drawing in when we will no longer be able to write or say anything that does nothing less than celebrate homosexuality. Perhaps we have only a matter of a few years or even months before the LGBT juggernaut silences us completely. Stonewall would now seemingly exert almost total control of the judiciary, legislature and political machinery of our once-free nation. Let us not forget how Stonewall and the Equality and Human Rights Commission attempted to destroy Mr and Mrs Bull and their B&B business, Chymorvah, in Cornwall, because they refused to allow two men to have sex under their roof, in their beds. Here we are being denied access to a major event in the heart of London because we affirm the traditional view of marriage. And just last month, our [Christian] advert, on 26 London buses, was banned by Boris Johnson, mayor of London, who abused his position to silence our voice. In my view, this is merely a rehearsal for a fast-approaching totalitarian state’….

The higher agenda here is formulated by the New World Order generals, eagerly assisted by their media lieutenants and other facilitators. Their quest is for absolute power – and insofar as ‘gay’ ideologues help them reach this objective, these higher powers will pander to their obsessions, assisting their mutually beneficial war against the Christian bulwark and nature itself. Ultimately, when they have outlived their usefulness and the ‘powers that be’ have achieved their goal, the entire homosexual collective will be summarily discarded, as always happens to ‘useful idiots’. Until that fateful day, the ‘gay’-driven PC oppression engineered by the secular elite intensifies, betraying its essentially Marxist pedigree. Among 45 Communist Goals exposed in the US Congress by Hon. A.S. Herlong Jnr on Thursday, Jan. 10, 1963, as listed on pp. A34-A35 of the Congressional Record, we find the following entry….

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as ‘normal, natural, healthy.’

I rest my case.

Thanks for your comment, Patrick. While most of us believe in treating all people with respect, the radical homosexual agenda goes far beyond that and is cause for serious concern.

I think many gay marriage tolerant people haven't thought it through as I hadn't. I have several gay friends and always preached tolerance to my children, but when my 15yr old daughter and her girlfriends started posting pictures of themselves online in lesbian poses as well as sitting watching tv with arms wrapped around each other, I am seeing how "gay tolerance" has evolved to a gender bending trendiness. I calmly asked my daughter if she was gay and she couldn't understand why I would think this!!! Preparing your life for heterosexual marriage is hard enough, and platonic friendships that cross the lines of physical intimacy will add to the 'anything goes' mentality instead of enhancing our heterosexual dance towards tolerance. Tolerance of the opposite sex that is. That is true tolerance. The real deal. (I wouldn't love and respect my husband's quirks now if I didn't appreciate the masculine traits of my father and innate male energy of my son) If there was no such thing as opposite sex attraction, there would be no opposite sex tolerance. (Just think of second grade school children.) There would be a war above all wars. Our tribes would be completely at odds. Heterosexual marriage is the true tolerance project among humans and must be protected and encouraged above all else...... for the sake of civilization..... even if it means a sacrifice on the part of gays to say to themselves "how can I help these couples stay together".
