Let me be the one to say it out loud. The only real reason there is a conflict over This Mission in Asbury Park is because the spiritual leaders of this organization have gone on the record that homosexuality is a sex addiction. So, now let me go on the record. In the light of having 50 States in the Nation, and seeing 45 States passing amendments to define marriage as being of one man and one woman, and having only one State out of 50 allowing Gay Marriage, that being Massachusetts, it's a small issue. Let's not allow it to even be as big as some would like it to be. I agree that every individual should have the civil liberty to select one other person and bestow upon them all things a spouse can bestow upon another spouse, if they are an American citizen, they have inalienable rights. However there is no way marriage should be permitted between two members of the same sex. But before I even discuss the issue let me point out that the real problem stems from all promiscuity. Intimate sexual activity should be restricted to only people who are married and this is not a pitch for legislation controlling the marriage bed. This is moral and character in nature not legal or otherwise. People of faith need to ban together to promote values, starting at a very basic level, in the home. Schools need to stay out of the character development of our children, and politicians need to simply raise their own children and stop legislating sacred matters. Government should never attempt to legislate "morality." Government would be best tending to the budget and spending of tax payer dollars. Gay citizens have civil rights, granted. However, they do not have the right to invade the Kingdom of God in a manner that diminishes the entire power of the faith within the Kingdom. The whole battle is against the Kingdom of God. Those who are subjected to God's will understand this. Be kind to your neighbor but be pure before our God. Even I admit of falling short of the glory of God, but I die daily to my selfish desires and hope to increase each moment in His desire for me. Whether someone agrees with me or not, is not the issue. God Bless America Kevin Brown (http://www.electricnews.com/)
