III. CONCLUSION
Two definitions from two different dictionaries are as follows: “The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife”, “The state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a legal, consensual and contractual relationship recognized and sanctioned by and dissolvable only by law.” It is quite ironic how it is stated, “…union of a man and woman…” and does not say nor hint at “man and man” or “woman and woman”. These definitions were derived from mankind, mankind that put an effort in building as what we all know as America. America’s government was established with the belief in God, and therefore allowing same sex marriage is a contradiction to our founding fathers and the government we are sanctioned upon. This paper will discuss and analyze same sex “marriage” through the foundation of our government, moral views, homosexual views, and holy matrimony verses a union of two persons.
To begin with, would one be willing to trade one’s freedom for the allowance of same sex marriage? It is a question that when asked, many it not all do not hesitate and answer, “No”. Then why is there such a debate on same sex marriage? Is it because we believe we are free and have the right to pursue happiness? Have we forgotten the very traditions and values America was built upon? Whether one chooses to believe it or not this country was established with the belief in God. Therefore, allowing same sex marriage is not only an abomination to God but a slap in the face to Americas core values.
To further elaborate, the “Declaration of Independence,” states, “the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Natures God entitle them.” Not only does this document give us freedom and equality through the signers but also through the belief in Gods will to mankind. Now, one is not banishing or belittling homosexuals, one is more asking that we keep Americas traditions and values at
