http://smalltimehacks.wordpress.com/Our goal with this site is to one day have, like, readers. And those readers would ideally say, “Hey, check out this crazy guy in Wyoming.” (Seriously, if you know of a crazy guy in Wyoming, send his material our way. No, Dick Cheney does not count).
At this point, we have no readers. I asked my fiancée if she wanted to see the site and was told, “No. Not really.” Bosie’s wife apparently views this site as better than a mistress but worse than cutting the grass. So, the future looks bright.
At the moment, however, we have to find our own material. Thankfully, on a Friday, one can always lazily go to Google News, type in “Gay Marriage” and “God” and have new material in an instant. This site was much harder to do when I was blogging on a Smith-Corona.
As long as there are people like Dan Nelson at the Ventura County Star, our well shall not run dry.
His column/sermon begins with a zillion rhetorial questions. We will skip those and get to the hot, dripping, juicy, throbbing meat that is at the center of this article.
Where are the civil rights, extended to those who believe homosexuality is a sinful practice and should not be tolerated as a civil right or given a preferred status to it today by the media and politicians?The funny thing about civil rights is that they are absoulute. You can have all the opinions you want about civil rights, but there really isn’t a way to “protect your right to not have to deal with black people” or something.
Where are the civil rights of the children in school given to learn the other side of what homosexuality really is, that homosexuality is a sin and a moral wrong, instead of it being pictured always in a favorable light?Did the California Supreme Court outlaw church and parents when I wasn’t looking? Let’s be honest: if the California Supreme Court did outlaw Church, I probably wouldn’t be shocked. They do some nutty things there. But I’m pretty sure that hasn’t happened.
Where are the civil rights extended in the media, sitcoms and movies, when homosexuality is always portrayed as an alternative, accepted lifestyle, never opposed?I…I got nothin’. If anyone can explain this sentence please write to: mrrobertplant_2007@yahoo.com. Thank you.
Finally, we reach the the coup de grâce.
There are very practical reasons why we should not have gay marriage:I guess if you were desperate and really bigoted, you could come up with a few “practical” reasons related to population growth or public health or something else. I would actually be curious to read those. Let’s have them, Mr. Nelson.
Jesus was clear that marriage is only between male and female (Matthew 19:4-6). The very fact that homosexual couples can’t be one flesh in the manner of male and female is proof that homosexual marriage is not legitimate marriage. You can call garlic perfume all you want, but it still stinks.Okay…so the “pracitcal” reason is that Jesus would oppose it. Well, you got me there.
By the way, I take the last sentence as a personal attack on all Italian-Americans. In the immortal words of Senator Pat Geary: “Italian Americans are the hardest working, most law abiding patriotic Americans of our country. It is a shame and a pity that a few rotten apples give them a bad name.” Amen, Fictional Senator. Amen.
I think we are almost done with Mr. Nelson. Let’s take it home.
The Bible only presents marriage as between male and female. This has been the standard practice for all civilized societies. This practice is God’s standard. Bible-believing Christians and all perceptive people fear for our culture, nation and children because this lifestyle was the reason God judged nations, destroyed cities and pronounced a curse on cultures. This on judgment nations was not because of the appearance of homosexuals only, but also for the acceptance of homosexuality as a society and its toleration.The Bible also presents polygamy and incest and the use of slaves as concubines. Why are those really fun parts of the Bible never discussed? In all honesty, has anyone ever really read Genesis and Exodus besides me? If I could write a story arc filled with that amount of sex, violence, family betrayals, political intrigue, natural disasters and sci-fi, I would be writing the tv show that gets better ratings than “Lost” instead of this crap. But we never get that fun story from hack writers. It’s always Leviticus this and Timothy that. Sex sells, people. Get more Abraham and Hagar out there if you really want to pack in the crowds.
