Entry: Post-Christian America Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/post_christian_america#27493 Post contents: I too believe that homosexual "marriage" should not be made legal. I also would not support a constitutional amendment to define marriage. I could get behind some sort of "civil union" that protected the right of someone's chosen one to inherit or receive special status if that relationship didn't necessarily follow the typical man/woman/baby love. Transferring inheritance rights to a couple old spinsters or celibate siblings or a homosexual couple doesn't bother me much. When the State rules that homosexuals can marry I don't agree, but it doesn't bother me that much either because the State has no moral authority at all. My belief is that marriage is a sacrament handed down by God through the Church. The fact that the State forces us to register this union is so much red tape. The State shouldn't be in the business of marriage anyway. As Mr. Buchanan says, call it what you like, it's still a pig. And while I agree with much of what Mr. Buchanan says, it disheartens me to see him quote that homosexuality necessitates vengeance. This sort of language is really not needed to make his point. Yes, it is from the scripture, but I am not a fundamentalist/literalist and "vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord". His vengeance, not ours. The Taliban would not agree, nor would Dispensationalists and we have no truck with either of them, right? Pax, PhilthyRex Sent at: 2008 12 01
