Marriage Protection Sunday

Question:

Thousands of churches will be participating in Marriage Protection Sunday on July 11.

Really? They want to protect all marriage, including same-sex marriage? That should be commended. That will be followed with Call Your Senators Day on Monday, July 12. Congress is poised to make homosexual marriage the law of the land.

That would be good if Congress would make same-sex marriage the law of the land. Contact your Senators and urge them to defeat the Federal Marriage Ban Amendment! Protect marriages from being banned! Protect our families by preventing them from being broken apart by family-hating homophobes! — Peacenik

Response:

Wasn’t Thurmond’s oppressive relationship with that girl conducted when  they were both teenagers?

No. Strom Thurmond was in his 20s when his daughter was born. Too early for him to be simultaneously "crusading against integration."

He met his daughter for the first time in 1941, about seven years before running for President on a racist ticket. She was 16.

Response:

It’s very amusing, but IMO, nothing, and I mean NOTHING, beats Strom Thurmond, Lord God King Racist Bigot Scumbag, fathering a black child out of wedlock. The night I saw that press conference, I was ROTFLMAO. Ok, it was very sad that this woman basically grew up with no father and has to live with the shame of having that man as her sperm donor, but the mental picture of Strom Thurmond sweating up the sheets with his black mistress at night while he’s out crusading against Wasn’t Thurmond’s oppressive relationship with that girl conducted when they were both teenagers?  Too early for him to be simultaneously "crusading against integration."  What’s interesting is that he rejected his own flesh and blood and spent the best part of a lifetime oppressing his very child.  That’s even more disgusting to me.

She was a teenager, but I don’t think he was.  When the news broke I was wondering why no-one was making an issue of the age difference.  Was she old enough to give legal consent?  Raping underage servants — he should have gone to jail. Priscilla

Either way…..   – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I also enjoy the memories of Newt Gingrich, who left his dying wife alone in the hospital while he went out to fuck his mistress, and then served his poor wife with divorce papers while she was recovering from cancer. Then we have Newt Gingrich (again) with his lesbian sister, and our delightful vice-president with his lesbian daughter, both of whom are against same-sex marriage. I can hear both of them saying: "Oh, sorry, honey, I love you, but you’re not good enough to get married, and I’m going to make sure that you never do. But have a nice life anyway as a second-class citizen. But I love you." I can also hear both of them laughing at all the locker-room jokes about carpet munchers, muff divers,  "what does a lesbian do with her asshole in the morning," Don’t be a tease.  What’s the punchline?

She drops her off at work. ha ha. etc., not even a bit cognizant that they are denigrating their own family members. Maybe next election, we of the US voting public should make it a point to elect someone who doesn’t drag their knuckles when they walk. It’s unhelpful to indulge in stereotypes.  The frightening thing to me about Hollywood’s portrayal of bigots as ignorant droolers like the sheriff in In The Heat Of The Night or like Archy Bunker, is that it makes us comfortable with our own prejudices.  We can pat ourselves on the back as being, not bigots (because we don’t look like the Hollywood stereotype), but enlightened humans who simply can’t be taken in by … sheenies and kikes and beaners and sand niggers and …

That’s one way to look at it. Another is that Archie Bunker was the object of derision and scorn, and the butt of many a joke. Plus, he did, in his own way, come around to acceptance. He missed the Jeffersons when they moved away, he grieved for Beverly Lasalle (the drag queen) when she was murdered, he provided a home for the little moppet girl who couldn’t act her way out of an invisible bag and didn’t make a big splash about her being Jewish, etc. I always thought Archy Bunker was the most dangerous figure in the whole morass of race relations precisely because of the comfort level he provided to everyone, left and right.

I didn;’t get to watch AitF until I was much older, and it didn’t seem as timely as it would have in the 70’s, but even then, I was never comfortable watching most of his antics.

Or maybe your churches  "Let’s do something about our own  Divorce rate" Sunday? Philip Yancy, in his book What’s So Amazing About Grace?, has the following to say about Christian marriages: "Surely a peculiar people should demonstrate a higher standard of personal ethics than the surrounding world. Yet, to take just one example, pollster George Barna discovered that born-again Christians in modern America actually have a higher rate of divorce (27%) than nonbelievers (23%); those who describe themselves as fundamentalists have the highest percentage of all (30%). Indeed, four of the six states with the highest divorce rates fall in the region known as the Bible Belt. Far from being peculiar, modern Christians tend to look just like everyone else, only more so."

Response:

No question that with a divorce rate at around 40 to 45 percent, that marriage has to be redefined or protected.   Since currently all marriages are heterosexual (in America) I am not sure how homosexuals getting married will weaken any heterosexual relationship.  If there is any harm to the heterosexual relationship, it surely has to be the soaps shows, and those innterview shows where they bring on people who sleep with their best friend’s wife or their mother or sister or whatever.  Isn’t that a nice thing for your sons and daughters to see.  People who most would never see, read about or hear about who do things we wouldn’t do or wouldn’t want our sons and daughters to do, have the best of advertisers, the highest ratings because you and yours watch the shows.  Never heard of anyone, any religious group, any group in socity putting ads in the newspaper or on television saying that these shows are bad for our youth and the shows and advertisers should be boycotted.  Why? Are there any television shows that you know of that help promote and keep heterosexual marriage in high regard?   – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Thousands of churches will be participating in Marriage Protection Sunday on July 11.

Now we know why the ECUSA ordains practicing homosexuals! Brothers and sisters we must RESTORE the so called "minor order" of DOORKEEPER in our churches and follow God’s Law of admittance! Deuteronomy 23:1-2 1   "He that is wounded in the stones or hath his private member cut off shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD. 2   A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD. CIRCUMSCION FOREVER 9 Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. 10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner-those who are not your offspring. 13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant. 14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant." Deuteronomy 24:1 1   "When a man hath taken a wife and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes because he hath found some uncleanness in her, then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.

On July 11, pastors will urge everyone attending Sunday services to call their two senators on July 12 as part of a massive grassroots movement to protect traditional marriage.  In this column, I have provided a list of all 100 U.S. senators which includes their Washington, D.C., and home state phone numbers, and e-mail addresses.  Pastors may utilize this list in order to print up cards that can be dispensed to parishioners on July 11, making it very easy for people to call their senators the next day. I am asking all pastors to lift up the God-ordained institution of marriage in their sermons on July 11, and to make clear the serious pitfalls which same-sex "marriage," polygamy and other diverse family forms present.  In addition, Sunday School teachers are encouraged to discuss marriage from a biblical perspective,  and also to discuss the threat of same-sex "marriage." ###   ATTEND a church on Sunday, July 11, to see if they           are one of those who do this.  Carry a hidden recorder           and record the entire service.  If they do this, COPY the           tape and MAIL it to the I.R.S.   And DEMAND that the           IRS **rescind** that church’s tax-exempt status for its           blatant violation of the provisions against taking political           sides.   If we get together and do a GOOD job of this.           we can deal a MAJOR blow to bigotry, by thus — very           deservedly — impacting up to hundreds of churches           who are in violation.  Don’t take notes;  RECORD the           services!  Concentrate on the churches known to be           the more "conservative" (i.e., RRR-cult-infested) ones.       Click on this link to be taken to the list of 100 senators: http://www.falwell.com/?a=p&content=1088092368 . ###   Use that list to contact as many Senators as possible, to           oppose the Bigotry Amendment.

I am praying that we overwhelm senate staffers with phone calls and that these calls will convince several senators that the vast majority of their constituents support traditional marriage. I want to help rally the troops in the cause to protect traditional marriage from arrogant judges… ###   …aka FAIR-minded judges who are doing their JOB **right**.           It is up to ALL fair-minded egalitarians to GET INVOLVED           in the Civil Rights Movement of the 21st century, and           overwhelm the Senate’s staffers with our OPPOSITION           to the Bigotry Amendment! … and pompous politicians … to enact their ambiguous views on marriage — namely by authorizing same-sex marriages. ###    (What a loon!!  THIS is the warped mentality that we’re            up against!) There is some good news to report: Since last week’s column, Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) has announced he will vote for [it]. ###    After you call your own Senators, a call to him to let            him know that his bigotry is not appreciated, would be            worthwhile.  Enough such calls might help him to            reconsider. Your action of calling both of your senators will have a powerful impact on this issue.   ###    True, Falwell.  But fortunately for America, that works BOTH            ways.  If enough FAIR-minded people OPPOSE the Bigotry            Amendment, we can ENSURE that it will be **defeated**!      Most senators will not vote against the FMA if enough constituents call to urge them to support the amendment.   ###    And, importantly, most Senators will vote AGAINST the            Bigotry Amendment if enough egalitarians call and urge            them to OPPOSE it !!            (ALSO — Let’s all get together and put bumpers stickers            on our vehicles that say, NO BIGOTRY AMENDMENT!!            Even if some of us have to hand-make them.  (Easy to            do on a computer with "Word," "WordPerfect," etc.)) Remember, after you have called your senators, urge all of your friends and family members to also call and respectfully ask that their senators… ###   …OPPOSE the so-called "FMA" — The Bigotry Amendment. Most importantly… ###   Go to a church on Sun, 7/11/04, and RECORD the service.           Send a copy of the tape to the IRS if they follow Falwell’s           instructions. (Send it overnight… or via Priority Mail…           or via First Class as a Certified Letter w/Return Receipt,           with a cover letter that provides the details pertaining to           the preacher, the church, and the time, and ask that           they fulfill their duty to rescind that church’s tax-exempt           status..  And then CALL you Senators (and as many other           ones as you can!) on Monday, 7/12/04, to urge that they           vote AGAINST the bigotry Amendment. It is imperative that we preserve… ###   …all of our individual liberties… … for the sake of our future generations.            = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =       SUGGESTION:     **Print out** and COPY this post, and distribute it far and wide, to every fair-minded egalitarian you know and can contact.  And urge them to TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION, for the time for doing that is VERY short!!      Also, please feel free to post it to all
