Here's an AP article on how Mormons are dealing with Proposition 8 and same-sex marriage. Rather than profile the remarkable unity and formidable organization the LDS Church brings to bear on the Yes-on-8 (traditional marriage) campaign, the article instead focuses on internal dissension, angst, hurt feelings, and such things. This is a common media tactic. Put pro-marriage churches on the defensive. Make the Church out to be a heartless steamroller.
But this is precisely backward.
Same-sex marriage is the heartless force, as its advocates press forward with legal and cultural revolution--nihilsm, really, seeking to satisfy only personal needs and desires. Nary a thought for the greater good of society, or its greatest good--the welfare of children. These goods are happily sacrificed on the altar of present, aberrant impulse.
