Letting a Few People in Black Robes Decide

Who would have ever thought it would come to this?

Twenty or thirty years ago, most of us would have laughed anybody out of the room who suggested we were about to hand over the question whether homosexuals have the right to marry each other.  Now it's a reality, being argued under the "Equal Treatment" clause in our Constitution.

This is not a legal issue, and it does not belong in the courts.  The only reason it's being argued in the Supreme Court is that marriage is no longer the foundation of the family, instituted by God and administered by our Churches.  Marriage now equals benefits.

The ugly truth is this:

Marriage would not be litigated in the Supreme Court if not for the transfer payments it enables.

Gay people would have no interest in getting married to each other if there were no Social Security benefits, inheritance laws, adoption rights, or health insurance benefits to be gained.

The biggest lie perpetuated by the Gay Marriage proponents on the Left is that it is somehow the only way to bring justice to a group that's being discriminated against merely because of whom they love.  The truth is that they can love anybody they want - sodomy laws were destroyed years ago, and homosexuals are only prosecuted when they choose to act out their sexual perversions with underage children.

Most unfortunate of all is that this Supreme Court may create a brand new "Right" based solely on sexual behavior.  This new right necessarily infringes on the rights of Christians and other people of faith to practice their most deeply held values.  The next step to occur immediately after this new right is made the law of the land by the tyrranny of 9 unelected people will be the criminalization of Priests, Pastors, Rabbis and Imams who refuse to perform marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples.

Which brings me to what I suspect has been the true agenda of this Gay Marriage Activist movement all along - the destruction of Religion in America.  People of faith already live in fear of proclaiming their values out loud.  Within a few short years we will be forced to hide our faith publicly and meet in secret.

Perhaps the persecuted Church is much more powerful than today's lukewarm and apathetic form of Christianity.  My prayer is for the courage to stay true to my faith even if it means my eventual persecution, imprisonment, or execution.

I am sorry for our next generation, who will certainly be oppressed by the Satan our self-absorbed and entitled generation invited into America.
