The Next Barrier

While much of the country rejoices over the recent Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage across the country, I, and many other Jesus-lovers, mourn.

One of my friends who was rejoicing asked me why I feel threatened. But I don't feel threatened at all, although religious liberty is coming under overt attack through this. Christians who have wedding-related businesses and feel its against their religion to participate in same-sex weddings are being prosecuted under anti-discrimination laws. Pastors are exempt for the moment, but for how long? There is already talk by certain law-makers of revoking churches tax-except status if they don't allow their facilities to be used for same-sex weddings.

But all of that's not why I mourn. The marriage line fell in the '60s and '70s, and the gender line just fell now in 2015. What's the next line to fall? What's left? Probably the age line. NAMBLO, the North American Man Boy Love Organization, has been trying to legalize child molestation for decades. It doesn't even have to be homosexual. What if a 60 year old man wants to marry a 12 year girl. If they both consent, what's wrong with that? How about incest? Why is that still wrong? Any argument defending any sexual standard except the Bible's (which is God's standard -- one adult man and one adult women, inside marriage only), whether it's living together, same-sex marriage, or whatever, can also be used to defend these and other perversions.

So that's why I mourn this devastating Supreme Court decision. I mourn for the future of our children. We have no idea what we've just unleashed on ourselves.
