Auburn Journal Editorial by Jason Argenbright of Weimar

Homosexuality is a sin that degrades marriage:
In response to Tom Cavallero's letter that "God is powerful enough to handle gay marriage" (Aug. 31), I would like to say that you are absolutely right. God will handle gay marriage as he does every other type of sin: very justly.
Homosexuality is no different than any other sin. To God, sin is sin. He hates it all. We "keyboard preachers" as you call us, do not selectively interpret the Bible. It is very clear that God despises sexual perversion and homosexuality (see Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis chapter 19 for more details).
The real problem is when the gays try to make you believe that it is a completely normal way of life. According to God, that would be the same as saying murder is normal and acceptable! Thankfully, for all sin there is hope in Jesus Christ. We as a people have that choice.
Now, let's look at homosexuality scientifically. Let's say that there is no God. That the entire universe just happened accidentally. Wouldn't it seem logical to say that homosexuality goes against every law of sexual nature? (Hopefully I don't need to explain that to you.) And since that is logically true, how can it be a good thing?
I really don't care what people do behind closed doors. It's when they feel that they have to take something sacred, that was created by God. (aka marriage), and turn it into a perversion of what was intended. To that I take offense! Homosexuals can call their unions anything they like, as long as they don't call it marriage.
Vote yes on Prop. 8.
