There's a difference between a monarchy and democracy, in your argument about Paul's crusade against marriage. That aside, this thread was not even about that. It was about a television show depicting same-sex couples as parents under the guise of "modern family." I'm happy to debate with you what the Christian response should be in matters of civics, where we all have a duty and responsibility in this great republic, but that wasn't the point of our opinions on this thread.
You might find it repulsive, you might not? How about see it as God sees it. Do you think he finds it beautiful? Has he changed His mind on blatant sin? And don't just point to other sinful activities (yes, I used the word tragedy, which refers to a death, spiritual death, which implies sin, I wasn't back-peddling in the least or "down-grading" it) to justify the one we are talking about. That's childish logic. Let's be clear, Christians believe the best environment for a child is in a God-fearing home, with two married adults, one mom, one dad who also love the Lord. That there are other forms that don't match this, is in no way a justification of this perverseness that apparently has warped your worldview as well. Let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus. Love them. But don't stop calling sin for what it is. The apostles certainly were never afraid to do so.
I'm sick of this idea of holding to the claim of "realist" when we are dilluting our own Christian ideas and maxims. God's design was not just for the sake of random religious rules, they are the maxim for one's health and for a robust society. We can't prosecute or have the state take same-sex couples children (to inject a political angle), but I most certainly can cry aloud when that once "alternative lifestyle" is being pushed in the homes of families everywhere as innocent, cute and cuddly. It's poison!

...and just plain "yucckkyy" *puke*
Wow this is an awesome post!
You have some marvelous true points here., I've bolded.
I may be considered "conservative" "old-fashioned" or whatever, BUT I
was raised in a time when the ONLY parents were male/female/married!
AND no one had a problem with that.,
religion aside.
Same with conservative dress, lifestyles, etc, I was privileged to have been
allowed to grow up in such times., although they weren't without other
controversies.
That said, I fear for THE CHILDREN., never mind what consenting adults think., or decide to do., todays children have just as much a right to a decent, GOD-fearing home as I did.
[although FTR, I don't condone homosexuality nor same sex "personal living or intimacy arrangements" to call them "marriages" is incorrect as well as blasphemous.]
CHILDREN HAVE CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, TOO!
I say lets teach them what GOD says first., their precious little minds/hearts
shouldn't be forced to face the stresses of seeing what perverseness goes on
in the sanctity and privacy of their "homes"., I feel sooo badly for those whom are living amidst such blasphemy.
Is not "cute" its not "funny" its SIN., it may be considered "modern" but JESUS is the same yesterday TODAY and
FOREVER!!! such people living such perverseness, don't want to think about FOREVER do they?
Hmmmppffff!
