The prohibition against same-sex unions of a sexual nature was stated in the Bible long before I was born. I'm not the author of such a ban; I merely relayed the message to my readers and happen to agree with the Author, who also just happens to be our Creator. As I stated in the article, "Don’t hate the messenger; hate the message, if you’re so inclined."
I believe what is so often overlooked in the same-sex marriage debate is the fact that neither in the "Old Testament," the "New Testament," the ancient Greek culture (which is allegedly the "Cradle of Western Civilization"), the ancient Roman culture, nor any other ancient culture for that matter, do we find the concept of same-sex marriage. Period. Again, I didn't manufacture these facts. You're looking to the wrong source for what you might deem constructive criticism.
Since the Constitution of the United States is reportedly an amalgamation of the aforementioned sources, it follows, then, that legalizing same-sex unions would be foreign to the framers of the Constitution, ancient Greek philosophers and others who define our culture, not the least of which are inspired Bible writers themselves. Even if one has an aversion to the latter, still, the secular sources outlined here are in league with said Bible writers on this subject.
In the final analysis, the Bible will still say what it says about the matter; and the veracity of said statements remain in tact with or without my comments, observations, or endorsement.
