Canadian Parliament passes same-sex marriage bill
Rational thought extends beyond physics and meta-physics. It extends into the difference between right and wrong. Now Christians see this difference in black and white. But the edges, while still black and white, have great detail. Like a fractal edge, one has to examine the edge in detail to determine on which side an issue resides.
For any follower of Christ, same-sex marriage is always wrong, as it attempts to bless and sanctify a homosexual act. Of course, we reject abortion, pre-marital sex, birth-control, in-vitro fertilization, and so many other things that it seems silly to even focus on only homosexuality. So what's the problem?
The problem is that the media, and possibly many of the homosexuals themselves, equate the act with the person. So they assume that if we hate the act, we must hate the person. Let us be clear here: Christians must not hate the person. We must Love the person, where we use the Greek word Agape for love, which means we must forgive them.
This may not be enough for the Canadian government though. They may insist that Catholic priests and other Christian ministers perform same-sex marriages, or they will be prosecuted for hate-crimes.
Is this rational? Obviously not, but the anti-religion lobby is going to use this pry-bar to either shut down the organized religion, or force them to do their bidding. Either way they win. What is the rational solution? Let's ignore the whole issue on whether or not we believe that someone is born gay or not, or whether homosexuality is a lifestyle choice. Canada has passed her law, right or wrong. Is it rational to insist that everyone agree with her law? No, the law allows gay marriage, it does not require it. We'll see what happens.
One final thought. Rational thought is connected and consistent. If a rational thinker makes an error, he or she will call it an error, and be thankful for its correction. Non-rational thought is by definition inconsistent. If, as I maintain, the pro-homosexual lobby is wrong, then they can be expected to be inconsistent. So I think that we can expect to see some priests and ministers tossed in jail. Unless, of course, more rational thought prevails...
