Goodbye, Freedom of Speech and Religion
In pursuit of the truth - cinops be gone - Friday, Oct. 5th, 2012

Preface: “It’s obvious that marriage is in trouble. With divorce rampant, marriage and birth rates dropping, and single parenthood on the rise, the institution of marriage has been injured - badly.

Many no longer even understood what marriage is. That is why the idea of homosexual “marriage” is being discussed. If you know what marriage is, it is clear that two men or two women do not make a marriage. This is not a matter of fairness or equality. It is a matter of reality. The union of man &woman is fundamentally different, & it’s time we recognized that.” Cath. Answers.

Catholic Answers’ Booklet, “Why Homosexual Unions are not Marriages” - 2012 explains the truth in a simple, honest, and compassionate way that everyone can understand. Here are a couple of the several sections in the booklet. WWW.CATHOLIC.COM - 1-888-291-8000

“THIS IS NOT A RELIGIOUS ISSUE: SOMETIMES HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVISTS CLAIM THAT RECOGNIZING MARRIAGE AS THE UNION OF MAN AND WOMAN AMOUNTS TO “IMPOSING YOUR RELIGION” ON THEM. THIS IS NOT TRUE. NOTHING IN OUR ARGUMENT TO THIS POINT HAS BEEN BASED ON RELIGION. W’EVE MENTIONED THAT GIVING LEGAL RECOGNITION TO HOMOSEXUAL UNIONS WOULD DIMINISH RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, BUT THAT’S NOT A RELIGIOUS CLAIM. IT’S A LEGAL & POLITICAL FACT.

OUR CASE AGAINST REDEFINING MARRIAGE IS NOT BASED ON RELIGIOUS CLAIMS BUT ON HUMAN NATURE. THE UNION OF MAN AND WOMAN IS SIMPLY DIFFERENT THAT THE UNION OF TWO MEN OR TWO WOMEN. THIS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN OBVIOUS TO ALL PEOPLE IN ALL TIMES AND CULTURES.

“EVEN IN CULTURES SUCH AS ANCIENT GREECE, WHERE HOMOSEXUALITY WAS WIDELY PRACTICED, IT WAS ALWAYS RECOGNIZED THAT THE UNION OF MAN AND WOMAN IS DIFFERENT. CONSEQUENTLY THESE SOCIETIES DID NOT PRETEND THAT THE TWO PEOPLE OF THE SAME SEX COULD BE MARRIED. IN PARTICULAR, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MARRIAGE AND PROCREATION WAS RECOGNIZED.

“MARRIAGE PREDATES CHRISTIANITY. IT PREDATES JUDAISM. IT PREDATES ALL OF THE HISTORICAL RELIGIONS. IT HAS BEEN WITH MANKIND FOR ITS ENTIRE HISTORY. THE “IMPOSING YOUR RELIGION” ARGUMENT IS JUST A DODGE… CONTINUE TO RECOGNIZE A BASIC FACT OF HUMAN NATURE…

“GOODBYE, FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND RELIGION: IF THE IDEA OF HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE WERE ENSHRINED IN LAW, PEOPLE ACROSS THE LAND WOULD BE FORCED TO PLAY A GAME OF PRETEND. THIS WOULD DAMAGE THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS - PARTICULARLY THEIR FEEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

“THE MANDATARY GAME OF PRETEND WOULD BEGIN WITH GOVERNMENT WORKERS FORCED TO CONDUCT SAME-SEX WEDDING CEREMONIES, TO HANDLE THE MARRIAGE RECORDS, AND TO PROCESS THE GOVERNMENT BENEFITS.

“THE GAME WOULD EXTEND TO EVERY INDUSTRY THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH FAMILIES, MEDECINE, INSURANCE, HOUSING, BANKING, RETAIL, ENTERTAINMENT, EDUCATION. WORKERS IN EACH OF THESE FIELD WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PLAY THE GAME…

“THE RIGHTS OF PARENTS TO PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN FROM THIS WOULD BE CURTAILED, AND MANY WOULD FEEL HELPLESS AS THEIR CHILDREN WERE BEING INDOCTRINATED WITH A FALSE UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN SEXUALITY.

“ULTIMATELY, EVERYONE IN SOCIETY WOULD BE AFFECTED, AND ANY PUBLIC DISAPPROVAL OR DIAGREEMENT WITH HOMOSEXUALITY AND HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE WOULD BE TREATED AS “HATE SPEECH.”… [I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, AND MIND CONTROL.]

GEORGE H. KUBECK, IT’S INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO ME TO PERCEIVE THAT ALMOST 40% OR MORE OF SO-CALLED CATHOLICS SUPPORT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.
