I never looked at it this way but the use of terms like “bigot” and “homophobe” do suggest a breakdown of the ability to construct moral arguments. Sentimentalism has replaced rational thought. This applies to other issues as well, it’s not just gay marriage. Who knows what will happen in the Supreme Court, but it would not surprise me if DOMA is repealed as unconstitutional.
From an article at the UK Telegraph that WK linked to:
Excerpt:
A police chaplain says he was forced out of his post after criticising the Government’s plans for gay marriage on his personal website, MPs have been told.
Rev Brian Ross said he was summoned to a meeting with a senior officer and told that postings on his blog on the subject of marriage did not fit with the force’s equality and diversity policies.
Who said legalizing SSM won’t produce any effects on society again? This is precisely what you’d expect would happen when you treat SSM like racism. If you portray homosexuals as the oppressed and you permit their activity, then you will promote their lifestyle to make amends for the previous ills. Unfortunately this isn’t just some remote firing from a business either, it is a direct result of the government’s intervention. Nor is this some rare occurrence, many others have been fired as a result of their opposition. This is not freedom, this is oppression in the name of progressivism, tolerance, and love.
This is a beautiful chart by no one other than the controversial Tim Hsiao. There will be more charts like this at Flowchart Philosophy. I’ll be posting some of my own on WC. Like all charts, only so much can be said. The intention of these charts is to combat our sound bite culture with something pleasing to read and look at. If you’re looking for more comprehensive arguments for this position, just do a search on our site here or look at the related posts at the bottom of this post.
According to a recent study, the more porn that you watch the more supportive you are of gay marriage. That’s not surprising, it’s pretty much common sense. The more you are exposed to something, the more you will become accustomed to it. There was a time when people had shame for watching pornography, at least during their younger years. As time progressed, their moral consciences became darkened, obtuse, and blunt to its effect (Romans 1:21-22). The very act of masturbation itself is an affirmation that one can have sex outside of marriage with any sex because it already involves using our sexual organs contrary to their natural ends. Naturally then, a person becomes accustomed to the pleasure and begins to see it as a good and sees his former “guilt” as nothing but a child’s innocence. Before you know it, your intuitions change and you pseudo-rationalize away any position that is contrary to yours as absurd and counter-intuitive. That’s what psychologically begging the question looks like, it can happen to even the best of us.

A recent article has pointed out the anti-christian attitude by society today. To promote the “rights” of a marginal group, the rights of the majority (or more specifically, the religious) is destroyed. Who said SSM was harmless again? This is what happens when you feel like you’re entitled to acceptance. Unfortunately, Christians are wimps today and would rather remain silent, than speak up. I’d rather go to jail and die for speaking against SSM than remain silent and aid the decay of society.
Undeniable fact: Homosexuality is contrary to our proper natures. Less “undeniable” is perhaps its immorality, but if morality is grounded in our natures, then it is obviously wrong.
The degradation of morality is going further and further down the well of irrationality. Posted this article on my Facebook page and I’ve been having a very interesting dialogue on there ever since. I, along with many others, knew this would happen. We knew that once marriage was redefined, the flood gates to allow these immoral practices to count as marriage would be opened.
I really like this flowchart, it succinctly summarizes two opposing views that this debate reduces to. Hopefully it will help others understand the issues more, even if they disagree with the conjugal view, because too many do not understand what is involved here. It’s easier to demand rights of a certain lifestyle than it is to understand where those rights come from. How we understand metaphysics, ethics, and reality in general will determine how we look at these issues. Unfortunately, more often than not, most people let emotions control their reasons or are not interested in studying the opposing side. If you’re that kind of person, you’re at worst, acting immorally, and at best, ignorant or stupid.
Straightness is order, is union, is simple, is complimentary, is godly, is good, and is forever. Everything else is crooked. A straight line does not get to be a crooked line, nor does it get to be an orientation. It is a way of being – both in heart, mind, body, and soul. If a straight line is not straight all the way, it is not straight. Similarly, if you are straight in orientation but support crooked lines in your mind, you are not a straight line. Crookedness has no real boundaries, so choose your side carefully. What you chose shall define what you are and what you are shall put you against that which is straight or crooked. Those who support straightness align themselves with God, the angels, christians and their straight lovers. On the other hand, those who support crookedness align themselves with Satan, liberals, sinners, and their prostitutes. Where do you stand?
I stand straight with God.
