These are all important. But the moral causes, the moral causes of life and marriage, are not distractions; they are rather causes that spring from the foundational moral purposes of law and the state. And today, they are certainly among the most urgent causes."</i><br><br>Absolutely.<br><br>That's why every decent person in America is appalled at the passage of Proposition 8, which was such a thorough-going attack on family life, marriage, and the foundational moral purposes of law and the state.<br><br>Now if only we could get the people who think the right thing to do is to attack other people's marriages and take away their civil rights to agree to that.Jesurgislachttp://jesurgislac.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184697241477446529.post-88068830140745951392008-11-24T21:48:20.623-08:002008-11-24T21:48:20.623-08:00My but you have a way of malinterpreting things fo...My but you have a way of malinterpreting things for your own purposes. If you had watched the forum, you would know that Robert George is very much opposed to same-sex marriage and that his plea is for moral people throughout the States to stand up against this blatant attack on marriage and the family.<br><br>"That's why every decent person in America is appalled at the passage of Proposition 8...."<br><br>There are numerous decent people on both sides of this debate. To claim that they all support your opinion is ludicrous. That would suggest that I am not a decent person simply because we do not agree. That is intolerant.<br><br>You ought to stop thinking of Proposition 8 as an attack. I think of it more as a defense; a preventive measure. We were defending marriage as being between a man and a woman, not attacking homosexuals.Pearlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13696307318838041605noreply@blogger.com
