Dear Readers,
How are you doing? I'm doing fine. I don't have much to write about, but it's been so long I just wanted to stop in and say hello.
I've been trying not to follow politics much lately, because that just frustrates me.
What I'm really scared about now is the legalization of gay marriage. It might happen this year. The Supreme Court might do it. And if it doesn't happen this year, it might happen next year, or the year after. We live in a representative democracy, and most Americans support gay marriage now, 58 %, in fact, according to the Washington Post... so... it looks like it's going to happen. I never thought it would happen in my lifetime, but, well, now I'll be surprised if it doesn't happen.
And if the Supreme Court doesn't legalize gay marriage, Congress might.
Look, if you want my honest opinion on the subject, well, then just keep reading. I don't support gay marriage. I oppose it. It would be bad for society. It would further erode the family. It would confuse kids. It would anger God and bring his wrath upon us.
Every major religion defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. Shouldn't we respect the wisdom and the tradition of our elders?
And here's a snippet from this great article from Catholic.net opposing gay marriage:
It’s easy to fall into the trap of
thinking that legalized homosexual marriage will mean simply keeping
things the way they are, only offering health benefits to homosexual
couples.
In fact the changes will be dramatic: Public schools
will include texts and materials treating the two types of marriages
identically. If you die, your children could be adopted by either a
homosexual couple or a heterosexual couple — to prefer one over the
other would be illegal prejudice. Homosexual couples would be
spotlighted whenever romance is spotlighted: On Valentine’s Day at the
public library, in Christmas specials on television, and in billboards
on the Interstates.
It's funny. I'm only 30 years old, but I already feel like an old man sitting on a porch complaining about the kids these days.
Well, that's my opinion about that hot button issue. Um... if traditional marriage isn't broken, don't fix it, you know? Traditional marriage has worked well since time out of mind. Let's just keep it that way.
Sincerely,
Telemoonfa
