The
Judgment of Future Generations
By Mike

May

Everyone
must be judged from time to time. It's
a fact of life. Nonetheless, I'm getting tired of judgmental statements
directed toward me for my unwavering defense of marriage. I'm talking
about
real marriage between one man and one woman, which is the only kind of
marriage
that really exists.
People
often try to call something a marriage
when it isn't. Calling a union between two men or between two women a
marriage
doesn't make it one. It's like embedding the name "Jesus Christ" in
the official title of the LDS church and thinking that makes Mormonism
somehow
Christian. Call a square a triangle if you like but it's still a
square. Your
hardheadedness won't make it become a triangle. It will only make you
appear
obtuse.
Of
course, the marriage destroyers are not
content merely to call non-marriages "marriages" as part of their
ongoing
effort to denigrate the institution. They also insist that everyone
else do the
same. And when we don't, we incur the wrath of the godless. While
accusing
others of being judgmental, they will cast judgment upon all others.
But for
this generation of leftists that isn't enough. Increasingly, they have
insisted
on invoking the judgment of "future generations" as well. Let me
provide three examples:
1.
During a debate last October, a liberal
historian told me that those who oppose same-sex “marriage” will be
"shamed by history for their refusal to join in this great cause for
civil
rights." The great cause was, of course, destroying marriage for
everyone,
black and white alike.
2.
A retired professor living in my community
said opponents of same-sex “marriage” are "hopelessly bigoted." He
also said that "after we are gone" the next generation will look back
and ask "what were you thinking?" to those who opposed redefining
marriage. He didn't specify how we will answer after we are "gone."
That’s a strange argument coming from a self-professed philosophical
naturalist.
3.
Finally, a man I've never met bombed my
Facebook fan page with several angry remarks on the issue. He concluded
by
telling me that my bigotry would not escape "the judgment of future
generations."
In a fit of judgmental bigotry, I banned him from my page forever. I
couldn't
help it. I guess I was born with the anti-gay agenda gene.
These
references to how I will be remembered
are getting spooky. Maybe I'm dying soon and everybody knows it but me…
