It is always encouraging when politicians speak truth boldly.
Marco Rubio did just that earlier this week, in an interview with CBN's David Brody. Referring to strident advocates of same-sex "marriage," he said:
If you think about it, we are at the water's edge of the argument that mainstream Christian teaching is hate speech. Because today we've reached the point in our society where if you do not support same-sex marriage you are labeled a homophobe and a hater. So what's the next step after that? After they are done going after individuals, the next step is to argue that the teachings of mainstream Christianity, the catechism of the Catholic Church is hate speech and there's a real and present danger.
Is he right? I think so.
Christianity teaches eternal destruction (read that, hell) for those without the Savior it heralds.
Christianity teaches that all men and women are sinners by nature and by choice.
Christianity teaches that there's only one way to God -- Jesus Christ.
Christianity teaches that all other professed ways to God are false.
Christianity teaches that its written text, the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments, were inspired without error in all they affirm.
Christianity teaches that sexual intimacy is reserved solely for one man, one woman marriage.
These and many other things abrade today's cultural sensitivities and social demands. As such, is not Sen. Rubio's prediction pretty obviously correct?
What do you think?
