Like most good Christian, it appears that ex-Miss California, Carrie Prejean, is able to read minds and have a special divine lock on what is true. It was recently reported that she will continue to profit from her claim to fame, the stumbled answer to the gay-marriage question.
In their warped minds, people like her consider tolerance and forgiveness evil unless approved by the religious. This is very evident in the way they treat homosexuality, if really a sin, compared to criminal behavior. They treat murderers better than they do gays. Who among them was empowered to play God and decide which sin is bigger and requires more punishment than another?
Propaganda is very evident as the religious charlatans try to invent things to help support their false sense of preferred treatment in the eyes of God. Some, who believe “marriage” is a status symbol they alone deserve, claim that it is defined as being between a man and a woman and that definition, which exists only in their hate-filled minds, needs to be defended. So another disguised discrimination practice against gays was started to oppose their union being called “marriage.”
Their opposition is really borne out of the need to help perpetuate a false sense of superiority. The strange thing is that the act of forming a homosexual union in itself is not the problem, because they are willing to give “gays” basically all the same rights, but they just don’t want that kind of partnership to be called “marriage.” The bottom line is that this dispute is all about a word; it is OK as long it is called something else!
You will hear the claim that using that word diminishes the marriage between heterosexuals, but you will notice also that strangely enough in their eyes things like divorce and infidelity have less of an impact upon marriage than allowing two gay people to get “married.” So, the baseless “It demeans our marriage” argument, which we all know is not true unless it is meant in a class of citizen context, causes one to correctly ask, “Except as a status symbol, how does someone-else’s marriage affects yours?” and “Why is it that you are not up in arms in a corresponding way against divorce, which affects approximately fifty percent of the married population?” Why does one not even hear as much as a whimper out of these protesters defending the so-called sanctity of marriage?
Instead you hear such silly arguments as that from one “anti-gay marriage” Catholic priest, “If we let this happen, then what is there to stop people from marrying their pets? They love each other, don’t they?” If marriage is so sacred, why was a loophole known as “an annulment” created for the members of Catholic Church to be able to get out of it? Amazingly, these same opponents have no objection to letting even the most evil criminal marry a woman. So why shouldn’t the innocent crime-free-loving gay have a similar opportunity?
Even though they conveniently chose to ignore it, the opponents are also aware there is a religious as opposed to a civil aspect to marriage and each serve different purposes. In a civil context it is just like any other contract, still they want to combine the two uses and pretend they are one. Another reason why they are so vehement in their opposition to the concept of “gay marriage” is because using that term confers a lot of legal rights that the opponents want to reserve for themselves, thereby discriminating against gays as a subtle form of punishment and show of disapproval.
All this is a reflection of the inherent evil of any religion that permits a doctrine in which one’s beliefs can be used to form different classes of humans and make some more equal than others. The propaganda and deception behind the claim that their actions are in the defense of marriage is very evident when they do nothing to protect marriages against other things, such as adultery among their ranks, that represent a true and bigger scourge.
