A Gavel Falls on Marriage: The Proposition 8 Decision

A Gavel Falls on Marriage: The Proposition 8 Decision

They say we've re-defined marriage over time? Try the ruling of one Judge in one court case. (That still, fortunately, must be appealed)

As soon as we let ourselves (mankind) define something that God defines, we lose what it means to be human, becoming more and more relient on ourselves for widsom and understanding in life.

You can't take the designer out of the design. It just doesn't work. I'm not even using the Bible here, it just lines up with reality. If you are ready to start a creative project at work, the project will fall apart after it is started or even cease to exist without the initial concept, or a designer. They come up with the idea so you can execute it according to their plan. Take this to a large scale, such as this court case, and the results will be catastrophic.

One man, sinful as all the rest of us on earth, took God's design and said, "this hurts others". It may seem like a righteous and moral thing to do to stick up for other people and their longings and hurts, but if there's one thing that Christianity does not do it's please everybody. It's not some happy, feel good, find your way, emotional sespool that people dive into when they feel they need a purpose in life. It convicts, tears down, builds up, rebukes, and changes the very fabric of life. It applies to all areas of life, not just the ones we see fit.

Each "finding" that Judge stated is charcterized by a political correctness, and more broadly a secular view of truth. What's true for that Judge isn't true for me. That's secular truth. What about the stuff that lines up with reality? Like, a Penis fits inside of a vagina and that STD's are almost non-existant in healthy, monogamous, marriages. The fact that no society has been able to sustain itself with a smorgasbord mentality to family life - pick what appeals to you and all choices are equally good. The fact that the two sexes are different to the core and each is necessary for the optimal development of a child. There are studies done on ALL of those facts. The statistics are overwhelming, and those are just a few.

but we ignore those statistics saying that they are bias, harmful, and discriminatory. Since when was reality discriminatory?

We have now re-defined marriage, which means family is re-defined as well. If we lose family, society will crumble.

This is why re-definition is so dangerous, and the reason why I'm so passionate about it. It all comes down to re-definition.

It's all so simple, and yet so hard to understand.
