I am sending this out to all of my political groups. Many of the people in these groups are Christians and you have given us all much food for thought in this post.

I agree with what you’ve said with one addition: I’d add the issue of the definition of marriage to your “Level One” tier. While the immediate impact of allowing homosexual marriage would relegate the issue to “Level Two,” the ramifications upon the adopted children in these relationships necessitates a higher priority.

From a moral (biblical) perspective, any homosexual union is destructive to all involved, including children brought into the family unit. However, even upon solely sociological grounds, research has shown that homosexual relationships (especially male) are highly serial and unstable. For these (and other) reasons, I feel that we must protect the children who have already been brought into a homosexual family unit as well as those who would be adopted should our country choose to allow the definition of marriage to be subjective.

What does everyone else think about Bryan’s post???

Too often it seems that we as Christians buy into the cultural view that religion is a private matter, and has little or nothing to do with the public arena.

Or, worse, we elevate level two or three issues above the heartbreaking issues of abortion and euthanasia, tacitly giving politicians a pass on their pro-choice stance because they are working so hard for the poor and disenfranchised.

God, have mercy on our nation.
