Maine Passes Same-Sex Marriage

Maine Passes Same-Sex Marriage

You probably saw that Maine has now passed a same-sex marriage law, and the governor has signed it into law. I'm disappointed to see this, but at least this was done the right way: by a vote of the people, not a decision by judges imagining a constitutional right that isn't there. At least if the voters change their minds, they can vote in legislators to overturn it.

The harsh reality is that this is probably going to become the norm across the nation for one simple reason: Christianity no longer stands for much of anything. Pastors need to be leading their flocks, emphasizing a Godly life. Unfortunately, most pastors having given up the battle against divorce, pornography, selfishness, and materialism, it's a bit much to expect them to say much about homosexuality, which is a comparable sin--and one that causes less immediate damage.
