Now Every Marriage is a Gay Marriage
from Kuyperian:
Thursday night, I went to a presentation by a representative from senior counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom. He presented on the implications of several recent court rulings in the United States in the last few years. While most people know about the disturbing ruling of Obergefell, there are several other rulings which have fleshed out how that ruling impacts all areas of family life: parents, children, reproduction, and family history. It is important for Christians to reflect on these things so that we can better understand the time and culture in which we are living.
The representative opened his presentation by addressing the common objection that people make when they hear about these things. People often say: “These issues do not have a direct impact on me so I don’t need to worry about these things yet. When they impact me directly then I will act.” But there are two ways to respond to this. First, when it affects you directly, you don’t need to be warned. You know there is a problem. And second, when that happens, it is too late to change things. You will be eaten up in the system.
The representative then worked through several court cases and rulings.
[…] The presenter concluded his time by reading Justice Kennedy’s infamous words in the Casey v. Planned Parenthood ruling: “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe.” In the name of the monster called individual liberty we see that we are losing our grip on reality and the state is taking control of it. The justices of the court now have control over the meaning of family and the court has opened the doors for people to manipulate reality based on their whims and wishes. Christians must understand these decisions and be ready to stand and defend the truth of reality.
