I hate trying to do a job with the wrong tools. There have been times
when, for lack of a screwdriver, I've resorted to a butter knife to try and
tighten a screw. If the screw fits tightly, then I usually damage the tip of the
butter knife. Using a butter knife as a screwdriver can be done in a pinch, but
it certainly isn't recommended and no one would say that screwdrivers make good
butter knives. Each was designed for completely different functions.
Distinguishing the functions of butter knives and screwdrivers is a pretty basic
task; one we use in making decisions daily. Should someone to run a hair dryer
in the shower? Of course not! You can simply look at how these items are
built to see their functions. Electric hair dryers will not function properly
in water, it's simple and we consider it common sense.
Now, let's use this same grid when looking at homosexual unions. When it comes
to intimacy, we can look and see that homosexual unions cannot function
correctly. The parts simply are not there so that intimacy can be achieved
and still have the couple's bodies fit as they were designed to fit. It's simply
obvious that two male or two female bodies won't couple in the same way.
Therefore, homosexuals are forced to find other ways to be intimate. Do
heterosexuals practice some of these "techniques"? Yes, they do, but that's not
my argument. Just like sometimes using a butter knife as a screwdriver,
both heterosexual and homosexual couples can use alternative means to seek
sexual fulfillment. However, homosexuals have one aspect of intimacy
not
available to them that is available to heterosexual couples. That's the natural
coupling of bodies to fit in a way that they were designed to fit. This is a
huge exception! To not have this aspect of intimacy available to any couple
shows that no matter what way homosexuals seek physical intimacy, it won't be
the way that nature intended their bodies to be used.
Because homosexuals cannot couple in a way nature intended, it follows that homosexual unions are not natural. Homosexual unions are like construction workers who only have butter knives in
their tool belts. Without the tools to function properly, no one would
hire such workers to work on his or her home. You would deem them incompetent. Worse, if your son or daughter's shop class instructed
the students that butter knives were an acceptable substitute for screwdrivers,
you would rightly complain to the principle that unsafe practices are passing as
education, and probably pull your child out of shop until the situation changes.
Starting January 1st, though, California mandates that the state's elementary schools teach children, even first graders, that homosexuality is a
legitimate way for couples to function. As
this recent L.A. Times article
shows, even liberal school who have upheld homosexuality as acceptable are
having a hard time figuring out how to work such indoctrination into the classroom. This is simply outrageous. The
danger inherent in promoting this line of thinking is far more dangerous than
teaching wrong concepts in shop class. This puts the very fabric of our culture
in the cross-hairs, and would affect all.
The Times article ends with one of the
school staff commenting on just how they will implement the new teaching
mandates.
"'We're looking for places of natural fit. We're not going to
shoehorn in something gratuitous just to make a point.'" And that's my point
exactly. The bodies of homosexuals don't fit, the instruction won't fit and
entire law doesn't fit. it is a gratuitous law that is shoehorned into teaching standards just to appease certain segment of the majority party's supporters. We are supposed to teach our kids that doing construction with butter knives is just another acceptable choice, no matter how many fingers you may lose. We should be outraged.
