[Pretty much sums up the mentality/arrogance of SCOTUS on gay marriage eh']
oped: I'm sorry but gay sex is just a fetish not true love not worthy of marriage...for the life of me I cannot understand why a guy would want another guy shoving his ding dong up his butt...and why women put on dildos resembling a mans ding dong and go at it...just weird imo!

Pastor Douglas Wilson of Moscow, Idaho is a
brilliant apologist, theologian, home school advocate and pastor who
routinely engages the world in the most important topics of our day.
This past week he delivered a stunning sermon that is a must read for
anyone who has any interest in the recent Supreme Court decision forcing
gay marriage on our nation. Titled “A Sermon for Five,”
Pastor Wilson dissects the bad Supreme Court ruling using logic,
Scripture and the God-given rights enshrined within our Constitution and
the Bill of Rights. He expertly argues the right side of the debate and
tears down many problems inherent within the argument laid out by the
liberal Supreme Court justices.
There is a lot of great information here, and it is an extremely important piece.
A Sermon for Five by Douglas Wilson at Blog & Mablog: Theology that Bites Back.
Introduction
Written decisions of our Supreme Court justices are called opinions. Justices who differ with the majority may write a dissenting opinion. But in contrast to all such opinions, the Scripture requires preachers to declare the very oracles of God (1 Pet. 4:11). This is a responsibility that no man should ever take up lightly, and so even the apostle Paul himself cried out, “Who is sufficient for such things?”

This is a responsibility that no man should ever take up lightly, and so even the apostle Paul himself cried out, “Who is sufficient for such things?”
Momentous subjects should humble
us. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court wrote in his dissent, “Just
who do we think we are?” (Roberts, p. 3). This is a question that every
mortal ought to ask far more frequently than we do, and yet, despite our
objective unworthiness, God has called some men to speak the rising sun
of His Word, however much the darkening clouds are gathering, and
however much those clouds might think they are here to stay.
Consequently, in light of the Obergefell decision, a message taken from the pages of God’s Word must be declared to five justices of the Supreme Court, the five who voted with the majority in this decision. These were the five who vainly declared that there is a somehow a possibility of a genuine marriage occurring between two members of the same sex.

While this sermon is directed to you
as office holders, it is a message declared in the open, in the public
square, and so all others are also invited to hear and heed. I am
speaking specifically to Justices Kennedy, Kagan, Ginsburg, Sotomayor,
and Breyer, but I summon all other Americans to take these things to
heart as well. I call upon citizens of other nations to hear these
words, and to pray for us. I thank the dissenting justices for their
insights and faithfulness, calling upon them to remain faithful. And I
call the mountains, rivers, oceans, lakes, and skies—all of which remain
securely normal, just as they were created to be—to
bear witness to this testimony against our nation’s legal corruption and
rationalized descent into abnormal folly and sin.
The Text:
Hear the text of Scripture. These are the words of God.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Gen. 1:27).

A Summary of Scriptural Teaching:
As Justice Thomas noted in his dissent, our form of government was established in a recognition that God alone is the source of our rights. The State does not create or bestow our rights, but rather is solemnly charged to defend and protect them. In order to do this, the State must submit to a reality outside itself. As Justice Thomas put it, our nation began with “a vision in which all humansare created in the image of God and therefore of inherent worth” (Thomas, p. 17, emphasis mine). That sentiment is fully in accord with Scripture and is a truth that is found in the first pages of Scripture. And, as we see in our text, this imago Dei is inextricably tied in with the fact of our creation as male and female. Just as a violin and bow are one instrument, and a lock and a key are one mechanism, and scissors are one tool, so also mankind created as male and female is one image. And as the Lord Jesus said in His teaching on this longsuffering subject of marriage, what God has joined together, no man should presume to put asunder (Matt. 19:6). What God has engineered may not be re-engineered by us…
