Same-sex unions vs End of Civilization cont ...

 

The fabric of ancient civilizations, such as Greece and Rome, had certain foundations upon which those civilizations were built. As we see from history, a gradual erosion of those foundations, ultimately preempted their decline. Many great empires have risen and fallen over history. To determine the causes of their demise we must study history thoroughly. When we do, we ultimately find the seeds of destruction that were already germinating within the fabric of those civilizations before they fell.  Each one, no matter how advanced governmentally or philosophically, had overlooked certain elements of behavior, which left a void that threatened the survival of those nations.  For example, empires such as ancient Greece and Rome as well as many others, apparently had no particular grievance against certain sexual deviancies.  Subsequently, there were no laws to either prohibit or promote those behaviors, or any need to protect behaviors which reflected the natural law. Only the ancient Hebrews still held fast to laws regarding every aspect of human behavior, in which Christianity followed.  Thus emerged the Judeo-Christian ethic, upon which our nation was founded.

 

Our county’s government sought to knit as tight a fabric as possible, governing all aspects of human rights and behaviors, as to insure its’ survival.  That fabric, combined the savvy of certain ancient cultures in their governmental and philosophical knowledge, along with the moral code of the Judeo-Christian ethic.  These elements knitted together to form the tight fabric of our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.  Within that Constitution, the Judeo-Christian moral code and belief, underwrote all  other human ideas of justice and equality for all.  This Constitution of our land, did not seek to rewrite the natural law or the moral codes of the Judeo-Christian beliefs, but rather to make them the bedrock of all considerations put forth by that constitution.  

 

Now, with the idea of marriage, one of the fundamental elements of our society being redefined by our judicial system, that moral code is being written off. Thus the very bedrock of our civilization, so aptly defended by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution of these United States, is now being threatened.  As with the Roe v. Wade decision of 1973, once again, Judge Walker has now launched an all-out attack against our form of government, which never intended for the Judicial System to be a legislative body. So, already, the seeds of destruction are evident when the will of the people, defended in our Constitution, is ignored and trampled on by judicial activism.

 

Will same-sex marriage then, be the end of our civilization as we know it? Of course it will. Unlike the ancient Greeks and Romans, our civilization was founded upon the moral underpinnings of the natural law, an aspect which those previous civilizations overlooked, leading to their downfall.  We all know that when a once Christian Europe began embracing human ideologies, against those of the Judeo-Christian ethic, that this was the beginnings of the downfall of its’ civilization.  A once mighty and powerful Europe is now a thing of the past, and great European nations are now mere shadows of what they once were.         

 

Make no mistake then, that same-sex unions will be the death knell of our civilization as it once existed. The redefinition of marriage to include alternate lifestyles, will change the entire complexion of our civilization by promoting certain sexual desires over the Judeo-Christian ethic, which once underwrote that civilization. If same-sex marriage becomes legitimate, churches across the land will be forced to perform gay marriages or face being accused of denying the civil rights of these individuals. Imagine the repercussions of this. This is no small matter.  Marriage and family will be a completely amorphous institution with no definite character or nature.  Since marriage and family life are the seedbed of future generations, what types of fruit will such an unclassifiable structure of our society, without a definite character or nature produce?  No amorphous institution or entity can remain so for long.  It will ultimately dissolve into the vaporous void from whence it came.  When the institution of marriage dissolves, our civilization will follow.
