President Obama Comes Out In Favor of Gay Marriage - The Snob Blog - Danielle Belton's The Black Snob

Okay, I disagree with our President, obviously. I think he is being sincere but I think the reasons he is making the announcement now are political but I think the man really wants to be re-elected - enough that he's willing to alienate people that society is telling us hold the minority position.

What Will Happen If Gay Marriage Is Legalized?… | The Angry Black Woman

This argument for same-sex always amazes me. The argument makes no sense because no one rational thinks that it has anything to do with teaching children how to have gay sex in schools because how to have heterosexual sex is not taught in schools (nor should it be). It has nothing to do with terrorism. It has nothing to do with a world war. However the logical consequence is ignored! The argument is based on the idea that gay people should have the same rights and privileges as heterosexual couple in traditional marriage to the point that they want their legal social covenant to have the same weight as a man and woman. They want legitimacy. Thirty years ago it would have been an absurd thought to redefine "marriage" as anything different than what it has always been since the beginning. Here is the consequence we must consider. If its okay for two men or two women to get married, why is it not okay for one man and multiple women? What about one woman and multiple men? What about an adult and child  (as long as the child wants to)? What about a human and his pet? If "marriage" is fluid and whatever we agree that it is, how can we deny anyone the right to be with the one they love the way they want to be? Egalitarian as we are, how can we deny marriage  to include anyone's desires and predilections? Perverts and pedophiles are already making such arguments.  It's a slippery slope - one that our descendants will be paying for if we continue down this road to oblivion. Hell in a handbasket.

¹⁸ The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, ¹⁹ since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. ²⁰ For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
 ²¹ For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²² Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ²³ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
 ²⁴ Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ²⁵ They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
 ²⁶ Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ²⁷ In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
 ²⁸ Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. ²⁹ They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ³¹ they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. ³² Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.- Romans 1:18-32

America, we deserve what is coming.

Gay Marriage Debate: CSU East Bay (Hayward)

About two years ago Dr. James White debated Dr Michael K. Schutz, Professor of Sociology at CSU East Bay over the issue of Gay Marriage. I caught part of it personally, but I didn't have a blog then so I decided to go ahead and post it now. I think White skunked him, but go ahead and watch it and see what you think.


Gay Marriage Debate: CSU East Bay (Hayward)

'Lose Christianity or face expulsion'

I heard about this story last week but I'm still shocked.  A student in Georgia, Jen Keeton, was faced with the choice: be expelled from the graduate program in Counseling at Augusta State University or give up being a Christian - changing her worldview and convictions regarding Christianity. All she is reported to have said in public was :

she asserted homosexuality is a behavioral choice, not a "state of being" as a professor said

It's an opinion. I agree with her, but that besides the point. Since when should you be kicked out of school because you disagree with your professor especially over an issue that is hotly debated and far from resolved?

Keeton understands what her faculty was trying to do:
 

"At times you said that I must alter my beliefs because they are unethical. ... Other times you said that I can keep my beliefs so long as they are only personal and I don't believe that anyone else should believe like me. But that is just another way of saying that I must alter my beliefs, because my beliefs are about absolute truth. ... In order to finish the counseling program you are requiring me to alter my objective beliefs and also to commit now that if I ever may have a client who wants me to affirm their decision to have an abortion or engage in gay, lesbian or transgender behavior, I will do that. I can't alter my biblical beliefs, and I will not affirm the morality of those behaviors in a counseling situation," she wrote. 

 So, nice as they are they did give her an out so she could graduate:

"Anderson-Wiley confirmed that Miss Keeton will not be able to successfully complete the remediation plan and thus complete the (Augusta State University) counseling program unless she commits to affirming the propriety of gay and lesbian relationships if such an opportunity arises in her future professional efforts," it continued. 

Faculty members had demanded she "attend at least three workshops … which emphasize … diversity training sensitive toward working with GLBTQ populations." They also wanted her to "develop" her knowledge of homosexuality by reading 10 articles and increasing her exposure to homosexuals and lesbians by attending "the Gay Pride Parade." 

 Thankfully, Keeton is using this to send a message. She is suing them. She obviously has a case. I can't even believe that this is necessary but I do think it will continue to worsen. we should pray for this young woman who is standing up for what is right and what she believes in when should could have easily caved to the intimidation and persecution.
