One thought expressed in the debate about homosexual "marriages" is that opponents have no moral standing to criticize it since society has become tolerant of divorce and infidelity. That argument doesn't hold water. Just because we don't attain to ideal standards doesn't mean we can't respect them. Besides, many people who are opposed to the same-sex "marriages" are also opposed to divorce and infidelity, so they are certainly authorized to speak out without any taint of inconsistency. Organizations like Marriage Encounter work within churches to strengthen families providing support for married couples, showing that there are people who are not giving in on the issue of marriage break-ups. In today's OpinionJournal, Dale Buss provides evidence that religious counseling prevents divorce.
Do you not realize, the Gay marriage thing is just a hustle by the GOP and the Dem-crats?
American politics operate on three levels
Intellectual-for the better educated.
Heartfelt-think moms and kids issues
Red meat or gut issues. For the guys. In the past it was race, women, or war. This time it's Homosexuals.
Bush can't run on the war or the economy so he runs on fear of gays.
Read the speeches by Teddy Roosevelt concerning the "Lunitic Fringe"
Remember, all religions are finally a business. With communism gone, the race issue dead, fear of Homosexuals pay the bills and keep the pews filled.
By the way, I like your page. You are sincere, even though you appear a bit nieave. Keep at it.
