People will say that it is none
of our business what two people do behind closed doors when arguing for the
right of same-sex marriage. The argument continues that it has no bearing on
heterosexual marital unions, and that it is a right, just like the plight of racial
equality. We must understand that there is an enormous difference between race
and sex. There is no way to bring about a moral equivalence
between the two. We no longer divide people by the color of their skin by
putting placards over the doors of restrooms “black restroom” and “white
restroom” based on the fact that there is no difference. However, we do
separate the sexes in sporting events, bathrooms, clothing departments, and the
list goes on. We make this discrimination based upon the fact that the male and
female sexes are different, and these differences warrant different treatment
when it comes to clothing, restrooms, and sporting events. This argument is
making a comparison between apples and oranges.
There is a problem that bothers
me more than the arguments being made for or against these unions, and it is the
government redefining the bedrock of society. If marriage is being redefined by
our lawmakers that will now include the covenant of two people of the same sex,
then what will stop them by eventually redefining it to include 3 or 4 people
as marriage, or make marriage a renewable contract on a yearly basis? Once we
remove these standards, then who are the people who make the new ones? The bible
was our compass and standard bearer. Once we remove God and his standards of behavior,
we then take it upon ourselves to redefine the order of conduct we will live
by. In other words, who will replace God in setting society’s order for our
future?
What does it matter if I take out my backbone... the foundation of our house... the moral backbone and foundation of this country?
Just things we need to think about!
