DISCLAIMER:
I’ve said it on many occasions, and I will reiterate it for new and old readers
alike: I support traditional marriage. I am opposed to the militant gay
activism that intends to instill and install their immoral behavior studies in
our schools to re-educate children. I am not, however, anti-gay in the sense
that I hate them for their lifestyle choice. In the end, they chose that
lifestyle. I do not like it or accept it, but I do not condemn them for it. God
hates the sin and loves the sinner. As a practicing Christian, I have to learn
to abide by His commandments. So it is with that mindset that I write my
opinion pieces.
The above video of Comedy Central’s Jon
Stewart’s response to opponents of same-sex marriage summarizes in part the
hostility of the those on the left against those on the right. To those like
Jon Stewart (a faux news satirist), it does not matter how the Supreme Court
came to its decision. What matters is that those of his viewpoint got their
way. In the 8-minute video he goes the length mocking and criticizing the
concerns of conservatives regarding the slippery slope of redefining marriage.
This video showcases the standings and attitudes of those on the left against
those on the right.
“Woe to those who call evil good, and
good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter
for sweet and sweet for bitter.” –Isaiah 5:20 NIV
When I first heard the conservative
argument that redefining marriage to allow same-sex marriage could open the
door to allowing other forms of unnatural relationships, I balked at the
weakness of the argument. Then I heard what certain gay rights activists had to
say. Now I know that marriage is most certainly open to any interpretation that will turn it into a literal farce.
Marriage, by actual definition, is the
legally or formally recognized union of a man and a woman as partners in a
relationship. It establishes rights and obligations between them and their
children, and between them and their in-laws.
