This is blog #3 of a continuation of my response to a missive/blog posted several months ago entitled "Why I am a Christian Who Supports Gay Marriage." Please Google it and check it out before continuing.
In her blog supporting gay marriage, the author wrote the following:
"(To the people who argue that gay marriage will somehow lead to people marring (sic) their dogs, I always ask them to just take a moment to ask themselves – do they really believe there is no difference between a human and a pet? While the government sometimes seems like a drooling child, even a toddler knows there is a difference between man and beast.)"
I think the author's comment was directed at people like me because of a statement I had made concerning the point that if we begin modifying marriage laws to accommodate homosexual couples, then other groups who engage in, shall we say, alternative sexual relations and relationships, will want their lifestyles normalized and legalized too, including those who love and want to marry their pet. Therefore, I will take a moment to address this issue.
First of all, neither I nor people who support this argument believe there is no difference between man and beast...In fact, quite the opposite! But there is a growing subculture of people who are doing anything and everything they can to "humanize" pets and other animals, because THEY very much believe there is no difference. Check out "MarryYourPet.com" and its links and you will see people have been marrying their pets for quite a while now...IT'S JUST NOT BEEN LEGALIZED YET! You see, it's not the people who support traditional marriage who need to ask themselves do they really believe there is no difference between a human and a pet...It's the ones who are attempting to humanize animals and promote alternate sexual lifestyles who need to ponder that question.
(Actually, the only thing toddlers know the difference between is pleasure and pain, just like a puppy or baby kitten...That's why a being a parent is such a huge responsibility. Reasoning comes from many years of restricted behavior, proper instruction and effective reward and punishment scenarios. Interestingly enough, just like having a pet or good access to animals helps to sharpen and define the differences between humans and animals, as well as helping to establish a child's self worth, having gender correct parents in the family environment, when at all possible, do the same for a child's sexual identity, confidence and self worth.)
But here's something else that anyone who has been around little children for any length of time (for instance, Parents and daycare workers) knows that toddlers know intuitively: There's a difference between males and females and their roles in life. Even the most furtive efforts by feminists, communists and other left wing social engineers have drastically failed in their sick attempts to alter this area of genetics and behavior in toddlers, although I must concede that homosexual pedophiles, especially men, have managed to make huge inroads into confusing young teen and preteen boys about their sexual identity in order to recruit new, young blood into their lifestyle, thanks to a society which has gone out of its way to promote, normalize and legitimize their abnormal sexual behavior. I'm pretty sure these folks are included in the group about which Jesus said, “And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin (and yes, all the normal, mainstream Bible translations have termed homosexuality as a sin in God's eyes), it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck."(Mark 9:42, Mt 18.6, Lk 17:2 - one of those verses that made it into 3 of the 4 gospels, for emphasis)
You see, the sad fact of the matter is, whether gay marriage supporters like it or not, homosexuals and lesbians are only two of several groups which engage in non-traditional sexual practices and relationships who would love to legitimize (or normalize) their behavior and fetishes under the umbrella of "legitimate marriage." After all, if it's alright for gays to be married, why can't they be married, too?
