How Heterosexuals Destroyed Marriage
Doctor Patrick Johnston with foreword by Rev. Flip Benham • 7/1/2008
How Heterosexuals Destroyed Marriage By Dr. Patrick Johnston When the California Supreme Court declared in a 4 to 3 ruling in May that California must allow homosexuals to marry under the same terms and conditions as heterosexuals, they caricatured the arguments against gay marriage as bigoted and unconstitutional. Nevermind that the voters in California overwhelming voted down gay marriage - equality trumps tradition, especially when you’ll be hailed by the New York Times for your “historic” and “momentus” courage in this “victory for equality and justice.” The most useful part of this ruling is that it exposes a fatal flaw in the arguments conservatives have consistently brought forth, in jurisprudence and in legislation, to defend conservative ideals against assault from the left. Useful, that is, if we learn from it. Our strategy for protecting marriage was destined for failure from the beginning, just as is our strategy to fix public education, protect the preborn from death by abortion, and restore our God-given liberties. It’s a bitter pill, but the diagnosis of severe maladies is always a bitter pill that must be swallowed before the remedy becomes palatable. Under the political leadership of those anointed by conservative groups, we have:
1. Accepted “civil unions” as an alternative to gay marriage,
2. Reformed public education by increasing the funding of the government bureaucracy and programs that foster sexual immorality among school children,
3. Promoted a “culture of life” by regulating the child-killing and justifying abortion in cases of rape, incest, and maternal health,
4. Increased the size, power, and expense of the centralized government, and expanded the state’s usurpation of parental rights.
And these were our successes! All this happened under the leadership of those politicians strongly endorsed by conservative Christian leaders. It’s not the homosexual movement that is destroying marriage. It’s the heterosexuals that have destroyed marriage, with gay marriage is riding in our wake.

Please pray that it will pass when it is voted on in November. Dr. Patrick Johnston "If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it." Charles G. Finney |
