3.14.2005 | "They shall be male and female"

Well, a liberal judge in (where else?) San Francisco has ruled that California's ban on gay marriages is "unconstitutional" (Washington Post story). In the twisted (perverted, actually)logic of the left, the Sodomite judge Kramer noted that

The state's protracted denial of equal protection cannot be justified simply because such constitutional violation has become traditional.

Well, yes, the ban on gay marriages does have a bit of tradition behind it. Some 3,000 years, give or take a few centuries. But, hey marriage for heteros only is so, oh, Judeo-Christian. We're better than that here in San Francisco.

Well, just in case we've forgotten, Scripture, our best source for this sort of thing, is plain on this. To cite but one example, 1 Corinthians 6:

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality...

Our sense of right and wrong, our tradition, our morality is based on Judeo-Christian Scripture. Our very lives are based on a gift from God, who created man and woman so that they might be joined as one to propagate the species.

Now, when the flood waters raged, the Lord commanded Noah to ensure that he brought a male and female of each species. Good thing there weren't any gay marriages on the ark; talk about premature extinction of species. From Genesis 6:

19 And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

A good thing, too. Just as those who would wish gay marriage to be a good thing, and who falsely liken it to bans on inter-racial marriage.

The problem here is that the very same Scripture admonishes us that there is no longer Greek nor Jew, free nor slave, but that we are all one in Christ Jesus. Not to mention that Jesus Himself seems to have put the kabosh on such bans by His association with Samaritans and other 1st century ne'er-do-wells. But, those leading the gay agenda are not deterred by thousands of years of tradition:

But a deputy city attorney {Sodom Francisco], Therese Stewart, criticized "the so-called tradition argument," saying the meaning of marriage has evolved over time. As examples, she cited now-overturned bans on marriage by interracial couples, or laws that treated wives as a husband's property.

Ah yes. Another believer in "evolution." Well, to coin a phrase, that's just a theory now, isn't it?
