Disagrees with editorial on same-sex marriage

To the Editor:

“New York needs same sex marriage — now” (May 26-June 1) I couldn’t disagree more, and most likely whoever wrote that editorial is a homosexual or bisexual. However the majority of New Yorkers are still most likely of the Judaic-Christian beliefs, although I realize with both legal and illegal immigration comes also their religious beliefs. But still I would say, and think you would agree, that the majority of the people of the state of New York, and across the United States of America, are of Judaic-Christian beliefs.

For the Jews, and in the Old Testament, homosexuals would have been stoned to death, and in the New Covenant, and specifically in Romans Chapter 1: Verses 18-32, scripture informs us that because homosexuals refused to retain God in their thoughts, that God gave them over to a reprobate mind. I believe the silent majority, which are still the majority of New Yorkers, want to keep marriage between a man and a woman, and not pass a same-sex marriage law. What we are seeing in our society is a result of separation of church and state, and this is what happens when you keep God out of our schools, and government.

Call me politically incorrect, but we who are Christian believe that we give our sins to Jesus Christ, who bore them all on Calvary’s cross, and in return Jesus Christ, who we believe God rose from the dead, and is alive, has given us life, and citizenship with him in Heaven. Homosexuals have no conscience that homosexuality is a sin against God, and a same-sex marriage law would only exert the wrong type of influence over school children to explore homosexual promiscuity they might not otherwise. In most courts of law and even written on our paper money you will find written, “In God We Trust.”

Let us keep God in heterosexual marriage and the law, and not change our laws just to please the homosexual minority of New Yorkers.
