Connecting the Dots: The Link Between Gay Marriage and Mass Murders
From the Christian News WireContact: Robert Peters, President, Morality in Media, 212-870-3210
NEW YORK, April 9 /Christian Newswire/ -- On April 4 the NY Times ran adjacent front-page articles on the Iowa Supreme Court decision legalizing 'gay marriage' and the gunman who murdered 13 people in New York. That day the Times also ran an op ed article by Charles M. Blow who expressed concern about the negative impact that conservative media's "talk of revolution" could have on "weak minds."
Commenting on this is Morality in Media President Bob Peters:
"Having lived in New York City for more than 30 years, I am all too aware of the harm that firearms in the hands of criminals can cause. Having grown up in a small town in Illinois, where citizens owned guns without misusing them, I am also aware that guns aren't the underlying problem. I am not an opponent of gun regulation; I am an opponent of making guns the scapegoat for mass murder.
"The underlying problem is that increasingly we live in a 'post-Christian' society, where Judeo-Christian faith and values have less and less influence. Among other things, Judaism and Christianity taught that murder was wrong and that included murder motivated by anger, hatred and revenge. Both religions also taught that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves and to forgive others.
"For many citizens, what has replaced Judeo-Christian faith and values is the secular value system that is reflected in films, rap/music lyrics, and videogames and on TV and now the Internet, where the taking of human life for just about any reason is commonplace and is often portrayed in an appealing manner and in realistic detail. Murder motivated by hatred and revenge is also justified.
"This secular value system is also reflected in the 'sexual revolution,' which is the driving force behind the push for 'gay marriage;' and the Iowa Supreme Court decision is another indication that despite all the damage this revolution has caused to children, adults, family life and society (think abortion, divorce, pornography, rape, sexual abuse of children, sexually transmitted diseases, trafficking in women and children, unwed teen mothers and more), it continues to advance relentlessly.
"It most certainly is not my intention to blame the epidemic of mass murders on the gay rights movement! It is my intention to point out that the success of the sexual revolution is inversely proportional to the decline in morality; and it is the decline of morality (and the faith that so often under girds it) that is the underlying cause of our modern day epidemic of mass murders.
"I would add that if conservative media's irresponsible talk of revolution can 'poison weak minds,' the liberal entertainment media's irresponsible portrayal of mayhem can also poison weak minds."

You. Fuck. Tard.
You aren't even trying anymore, are you?
Are you trying to tell me that you need God to tell you that it is wrong to do harm to others? It amazes me as an adult how quickly the golden rule, the same one that was drilled into me in grade school, is thrown aside.
This article seems to assume that there is no other cause for the decline in values besides the "sexual revolution." Maybe horrible, incompetent teachers are to blame. Perhaps shitty parenting has something to do with it. Maybe the decline in values comes from the notion that some interpret the stories told in church as highly unlikely and feel confused and lied to. To blame it all on some gay people that simply want to get married is a real stretch.
Thank Jeebus there are a few normal people reading this drivel. I surfed on over for a laugh, but this loony is making me more and more depressed. You scare me, Cornswalled. I do thank God there are not too many people like you over here in Australia. I would loose the plot!
