It's a sign of the times . . .

There's an old 1960's song called "A Sign of the Times." I think Petula Clark sang it. Anyway, it's kind of been on my mind the past few days.

It seems that every way we turn, gay rights is being thrown into our faces. I wrote yesterday about the letter to the editor from Tracy Aydelott who thinks homosexuality is just fine. The California Supreme Court last week struck down that state's ban on same sex marriage. In the wake of that decision, Ellen Degeneres (Mr. Essie May calls her Ellen Degenerate) announced on her show to thundering applause that she's getting married. Tru TV has been covering the McGreevey divorce trial, the former New Jersey governor who announced that he's a "gay American." What his nationality has to do with his perverted lifestyle, I don't know. Perhaps he thought that made him sound just like you and me.

We are deemed bigots, homophobes, hypocrites, intolerant, and ignorant if we believe as God does about sexual perversion. So what does God say?

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!"

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof."

Is that not an accurate description of our society? Untold dollars are spent so that people can outdo their neighbors in conspicuous consumption. People indiscriminately bandy about the f word and take God’s name in vain. Our juvenile facilities are overflowing with uncontrolled children. People think they are entitled to a living without working for it, and they flagrantly use the system to enrich themselves at the expense of others. Preachers use the internet to lure children into sexual encounters. And homosexuals are entitled to marry each other just because we’re afraid of being politically incorrect.

Yes, I think the California decision is definitely "A Sign of the Times."
