MARRIAGE EQUALITY -
'
What Difference At This Point Does it Make?
I remember not long ago when most clergy had a difficult
time marrying two people not the same
religion. Even at the local reform synagogue JUST 20 YEARS AGO, the Rabbi refused
to marry two people not of the the Jewish faith. That was a big deal , and most clergy within
the Catholic Religion and Jewish religion REFUSED to marry two people of
different religions just 20 years ago. Imagine asking them to marry two people of not only differing
religions but of the same sex. Only
twenty years ago that would have had priests
and rabbis fainting in the streets. But 2015 is a different day. People are
smoking marijuana legally in some states. One third of the potential work force
is NOT working but living off the government doe, including welfare, food stamps and disabillity.
Flash forward 20 years and now it's about marrying people of
the same sex. My question is 'What is
Marriage?' I thought marriage was ONLY about marrying opposite sexes with the
idea of giving birth to children and raising them, preferably of the same
religion.
Now, we've lost not only the religious part but the
sex part of it. I'm wondering what is next? Just like the South losing their
confederate flag, which means so much more than race. Next thing you know the
American flag will be a thing of the past (which it is already in some places)
just as the Pledge of Allegiance has been banished by most schools and
institutions.
It's nice to be 'open' and
try to be free and fair and all but it's getting to the point we're
throwing all rituals and rules out the door. There won't be anything left to
live for except self greed. It will be totally 'Do Your Own Thing' Sodom and
Gemorah regardless...
At this point, if you're going to let two people of opposite
sex, opposite religions marry why not open that up to people marrying their
pets? As divorce is up, Many today love
their pets more than they do humans?
If you're going to start making radical changes why not go
all the way and make everyone happy? At this point What difference does it
make, as that great philosopher Hillary Clinton once said after hanging up on a
phone call that could have saved the lives of four soldiers about to be killed in Libya. .
On the other hand, why even bother having marriage? Just keep
giving everyone person personal benefits, as we're seeing already by
the latest American administration. Why
bother with marriage credits? Just give the individual whatever he or she
wants, whether it be food stamps, welfare, marijuana - which is already happening
anyway. Marriage is way down,anyway. One hundred million or a third of the population
is no longer in the work force - more than ever before. People are more sedentary and fatter than
ever . Robots are taking over and people seem to be - happily
- turning to mush before our eyes, getting pretty much whatever they want.
With all the good stuff why even worry about being married.
You don't need it anymore. You're getting all the bennies already. Not where's my Doggie?
