Mr. Norm Pattis writes “full equality for all should extend to marriage.” He argues for the gay marriage. Unfortunately he is living in a world of illusion like many others today. To simply call something so, does not make it so. Marriage is between a man and a woman, always has been and always will be.
To appeal to the notion of equality as a basis for something to exist is silly. Would you say a person with no education has an equal right to be called a medical doctor because in America we have a concept of equal rights? If you do not meet the definition of a doctor you are not a doctor, unless you live in the world of pretend. Likewise, if you do not meet the definition of a marriage, you cannot call a living arrangement a marriage.
Remember, God created male and female and joined them together. The Bible, in Romans Chapter 1, and human anatomy plainly show that sex between a man and a man or a woman and a woman is abnormal and a perversion. A civilization that cannot reproduce cannot survive. A relationship between people of the same sex is a friendship, not a marriage.
