2) The other argument they use is children. One argument, that is really offensive, is that some women in their marriage cannot conceive children so they go to a fertility clinic. The idea that because of a sickness that causes women to become infertile or a biological anomaly they are born with masks a number of responses. A) the fact that 1 in maybe a million women become infertile and need intervention through science is that an anomaly. Two men or two women (100%) can not under any circumstance conceive a child together. B) Since the state issues certificates of marriage and it is not expressly worded in the Constitution it is a privilege not a right. When the state can bare certain people from getting a marriage license then it is not a violation of the Constitution’s equal protection clause. If it were true then multiple marriages (usually more than one woman), brother and sister, adult and child (+18 to -16) could argue the same equal protection since the violation of more than one wife is a violation of the first amendment on religious grounds.

A behavior that is aberrant (out of the norm) on its face is one reason why most people of color (more religious then whites) are opposed to gay marriage. The gay lobby’s argument about our marriages ending in divorce over 50% is a good argument, but the easy answer is that A) two wrongs do not make a right, and B) The fact that we as a society have gotten away from things like honor, faith, respect, and into instant gratification has combined with secular marriage counselors (that fail 90% of the time) instead of going to a priest, rabbi, imam, or pastor to help the two remember why they got married in the first place and to listen and not yell. We can fix our marriage issues with a little more listening to people like Pastor Rick Warren, or Joel Osteen. These two men are the real thing. I do not go to church, unfortunately, mostly because I do not feel my Methodist church does not preach what I believe is important, and I am not a catholic mostly because I do not like kneeling and standing every five minutes.

The most fascinating thing about this argument is when we lost in the court system allowing judges to decide what the majority wants did not cause us to protest in the streets, attack old ladies in the street and cause riots. When Christians loose an argument we go back and try to make our argument stronger like civilized people are supposed to do. When the gay lobby looses an argument they riot in the streets attack old ladies carrying a cross and call people vicious names. My mother use to tell me just because you are louder or stronger does not make you right. We are in the right biblically and biologically so we go about the business of changing or making logical argument that a majority agrees with hence the passage of Prop 8. When immoral or ignorant people loose an argument they become violent because they no they are wrong and have no way of expressing themselves logically, cogently, and peacefully.

I think that the situation in Washington State and California (ironically) will be the seat of power for the Christian community rising up and start defending Jesus Christ and the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths will join together to stop the secularist and bring back the ideals that made us a great country. In a civilized society certain acts are wrong and you are asked not told to stop that behavior. In a secular world you are told what to do in the eyes of the anarchist view. In a secular world you are told what you can and can not say. In a secular world you are told who you can talk about (smokers mostly). Everyone else is a protected class (black, homosexual, obese, and drug addicted) and they get preferential treatment and if you are male, white, and rich you get to be mocked, ridiculed, and made to be the bad person. If you are competitive in sports or the business community you are looked down upon as well.

All of these issues are coming to a head. The election of Barack Obama might wind up being a blessing for the Christian or Religious community. The fight for our souls and for a civilized way of life could start as soon as Jan. 21^st 2009. Bring your shield of righteousness and spear of goodness to battle the army of anarchy and barbarity. We may just save ourselves from the fate of Rome and of Sodom and Gomorrah. Israelites were kicked out of Jerusalem twice; once be the Assyrians, and once by the Babylonians. Charles Manson claimed he had Sharon Tate and the LaBianca’s murdered to start a race war, but he failed. I wonder if one of Osama Bin Laden’s aim was to start a religious war between Christians and the Secularist as a secondary front so we would take our eye off of him and into ourselves. Just thinking out loud; no need to read anything into my rant.
