Quick thought on marriages. Intro: Marriage is between a man and a woman. To say 'gay' marriage is a contradiction. The phrase is an oxymoron because two men were never created to be in that specific form of covenant that allows them to lawfully have sex with one another. When someone who's gay is asking for rights to be married to their partner, they're asking for a right that a heterosexual person doesn't presently have - they're asking for extra, special rights. The gay male is free to marry whichever woman he finds consenting to marry him. The gay female is free to marry any man that is willing to marry her. Therefore, they already have marriage rights - they can already marry. But, they're asking to marry someone of the same sex. No rights have been taken away from them, so why does the media make it out to be a civil-rights case? They're not being oppressed at all. Why make it legal for gays to form marriages or civil unions? If we did make it legal as a country, we would be saying to the rest of the world that homosexuality is morally right and acknowledging it. Homosexuals know that it is morally wrong to be attracted to people of the same sex the same way that adulterers know that it's wrong to be attracted to someone who isn't their spouse. The desire is there and that desire is wrong because it's out of place and should be put in check. So, why should the legal system be conformed to make homosexuality acceptable? Why not leave it the way that it is presently, that if someone having sexual relations with someone of the same sex they do it knowing that it's wrong and not have the rest of the world conform to making their wrong seem acceptable? Lying is wrong and stealing is wrong, too. They're both morally wrong. The legal system punishes those wrongs in many places. Since there's no reprimand for being homosexual in this country's law presently, shouldn't this be enough right? Not every gay person wants to marry. Do we really have to take it a step further and try to make it seem morally acceptable by allowing them to marry? Proverbs 14:34, "Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people." Proverbs 24:24, "He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:" (KJV) * If anyone wants to use these apologetical arguements in defense of the faith on their website or what exploits the Lord has you doing, feel free to use them with a clear conscience!
