Clark,

If marriage includes "everyone," then why call "it" marriage? What would be its defining characteristics then? Wouldn't all "couples" be able to enter into marriage, then, by your definition? A "one size fits all" approach to marriage perhaps is why were here in the first place.

Marriage isn't under assault. It's just being opened to include everyone.

What I'd like to know is why this is coming up in little old new jersey? Gay marriage in New York and California I can understand where there is some kind of gathering of gays, however I know they are dispersed in smaller groups throughout. Gay marriage in NJ simply doesn't address the people's needs there. If gay marriage is legal in NJ it will effect a handful of people locally compared to CA and NY. Why change the definition of marriage in a state that doesn't seem to care? Seems like a fly compared to the elephants CA and NY? What is the real reason for this huge attention to a small state? Why all the urgency from the gays? Whats the rush?

Marriage is between a man and a woman. Everything else, is everything else. It is that way for a reason. I have yet to hear a good solid reason from the gay community why successful societal standards should be changed to suit some johnny come lately ideology. No society at any time, in any place in history has successfully altered marriage the way these activists wish to alter it and remained a viable society.

Seriously, if the human race were replaced in this equation with a venerable population of rare fruit gnats, would we be so eager to meddle with the societal underpinnings that keep a species viable? Noway! The environmentalists would commission studies and we'd have to listen to people drone on about how the little things we do affects the natural chain of events and create major problems down the line.... So. I guess my question is, why don't we take the same level of care with our own species as we do with menial fruit gnats?

I love quizzes. ☺ Here's a very short one with a preamble, so to speak.

In my lifetime, I have seen homosexual behavior go from being illegal and abhorred to legal and tolerated. No matter what you believe about it, this is the history of the matter for the last 50 years or so.

Question: Why did the change occur? (Choose one)

A. God altered the roles and functions of men and women toward each other which He gave when He created them *for His own glory and purposes.*

B. He changed His perpetual standard of morality which He sovereignty commanded to those His creatures, i.e. all human beings.

C. The real world revulsion and disgust this behavior instills in those who don't practice it, and the bondage and guilt known deep within by those who do simply vanished, and the real world is now what Hollywood depicts and some think has been legislated into existence.

D. Our society did not progress toward something better, but is going the route of previous civilizations that were destroyed from within by decadence.

How dare you! You would go against the teachings of Christ to "love one another" and discriminate against people who don't fit *YOUR* warped views.

Rest assured, my funds are going to organizations that DO NOT DISCRIMINATE as our Lord Jesus Christ taught us to do.
