Marriage Protection Amendment - Part 2
I shared with you last week about the "Marriage Protection Amendment" in the U.S. Senate. The vote was taken with 48 Senators voting for the amendment and 47 voting against it. The amendment failed because it didn't get the necessary two-thirds vote in the affirmative. Who were the 47 that voted against protecting traditional marriage from the homosexual activists? 40 Democrats, 7 Republicans and 1 Independent said "No" to traditional marriage. Senators Coburn and Inhofe voted for the amendment.
Why such a big deal about marriage? Well, for one thing God said that marriage is to be between a man and a woman for life. We have done a pretty poor job on the "for life" part, and now we have secularists that want to tinker with the family and justify their ungodly behavior. I am afraid that we have gone so far down in the sewer that we don't seem to care anymore. Did Senators hear more from the secularists or the Christians? Edmund Burke put it this way years ago, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Maybe this issue reveals that homosexuals are more committed to their cause than Christians are. Who are the ones doing nothing?

I have yet to find a single person who can explaion to me exactly how civil unions constitutes an "attack" on marriage. Why don't you take a stab at it?
I don't believe that I mentioned civil unions. Homosexuals don't just want civil unions, they want full recognition just like heterosexual couples. I refer you to the "The Homosexual Agenda" by Alan Sears & Craig Osten. Genesis 2:24 says "that a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and the two shall become one flesh." I don't see a homosexual marriage in the biblical definition of marriage.
