Marriage is for Culture, Not Individuals

Marriage doesn’t serve individuals’ or couples’ needs for equality and justice before the law. It serves the cultural need for social norms for how we channel sexual energy in socially beneficial ways. Marriage is the way we socialize men, protect women from the exploitation of unattached males and ensure every child grows up with a mother and a father. This is driven by nature, and it is why we find it in every know society and the major world religions.

Homosexuality is NOT Analogous with Race

No academic institution in the world nor any U.S. court has ever established that homosexuality is given at birth and is a permanent feature of an individual like race, nationality and gender are. There are no former Blacks, Whites, Hispanics or Asian folks. But there are hundreds of people documented who have happily and successfully left homosexuality. Homosexuality and race are clearly two different things and therefore should not be treated as similar.

Restricting Critical Examination?

The instant that any person or ideology is considered off-limits for critical examination and even ridicule, freedom of speech has been replaced by an ideological straitjacket.

What Television Does

TV makes people physically lazy, intellectually uncritical, emotionally insensitive, psychologically confused, and morally disordered.

Psychology is the Antithesis of Christianity

Why is psychology taught in seminaries and Bible colleges? Because the modern church has abandoned the Scriptures as the final authority for faith and life. How ironic that even secular critics of psychology are being ignored by seminaries even though “there is a growing band of psychologists and psychiatrists warning the churches that they have bought tainted goods, and urging them to reappropriate a peculiarly Biblical wisdom about mental and spiritual health.”


Rather than heeding the warnings about psychological infiltration, seminary leaders react with defensive hostility. They have not only allowed the camel’s nose to sneak under the tent, but they have welcomed the entire double-humped beast into their dwelling with open arms and a warm kiss.

People ARE Responsible For Their Actions

But choices are mental and spiritual matters. The unproven psychological theories of unconscious drives over which a person has no control are simply mechanisms for excusing irresponsible, immature, and undisciplined behavior and thinking.
