			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font>So, since this is a dynamic and touchy topic I must place a disclaimer at the top: I in no way judge or condemn any person.&nbsp; What I am going to say here has to do with sinful actions which we as Christians are called to admonish.&nbsp; The person is and always will be a child of God, beloved.</font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font>Okay.&nbsp; So CA passed a ban on gay marriage.&nbsp; I am supportive of this measure.&nbsp; The union of two same sex individuals is not a marriage since it fails to meet the basic requirements of a marriage; to procreate.</font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font>I was reading today on Bloomberg.com about this ban and would like to share the following excerpts from the article:</font></p>
<p> <em><font><font>&#8220;Real people are suffering today because of the decision we made last night,&#39;&#39; Newsom said yesterday in an interview on local CBS affiliate Chanel 5. &#8220;I&#39;m going to continue to fight.&#39;&#39; </font></font></em><em><font><font>Derek Morales, a 35-year-old San Francisco resident, was so dejected that the measure had passed that he worked from home yesterday. </font></font></em><em><font><font>Morales, who is gay and was raised Catholic, said he&#39;s always dreamed of having his wedding in a church some day. Now, with the vote banning gay marriage, he said that dream feels further away. </font></font></em><em><font><font>&#8220;It&#39;s something I&#39;ve wanted since I was little &#8212; to get married in a big Catholic cathedral,&#39;&#39; Morales said. </font></font></em><font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font><font>How and when will this man&rsquo;s dream ever come true?&nbsp; Even if a marriage amendment was passed to allow gay unions someone please tell me how this could ever happen.&nbsp; This man is so deceived that he believes one day the Catholic Church will allow him to get &ldquo;married&rdquo; to another man in a Catholic Church!&nbsp; Does anyone else see the irony here?&nbsp; </font></font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font><font>God ordained the world with certain operating procedures.&nbsp; God MADE us Man and Woman.&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t let the world try to change what God made.&nbsp; Listen even to the marital statements from the bible or in the marriage ceremony.&nbsp; What GOD has joined let no man destroy.&nbsp; God didn&rsquo;t join two dudes.&nbsp; </font></font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font>Why would anyone want to get unionized in a Catholic Church?&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because it&rsquo;s a pretty building?&nbsp; Brother Morales, I pray for you.&nbsp; Honestly I do.&nbsp; But my prayer is not that you get to marry another man.&nbsp; My prayer is that you encounter the love that will fill your heart and sustain you in peace.</font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font><font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font>Second, read this&hellip;..</font></p>
<p> <em><font>The campaign to amend the constitution drew more than $70 million to the groups involved in the issue. </font><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=AAPL%3AUS"><font>Apple Inc</font></a><font>. donated $100,000 to opponents of Proposition 8. The Cupertino, California-based maker of Macintosh computers joined </font><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=GOOG%3AUS"><font>Google Inc</font></a><font>. and Hollywood director </font><a href="http://search.bloomberg.com/search?q=Steven+Spielberg&amp;site=wnews&amp;client=wnews&amp;proxystylesheet=wnews&amp;output=xml_no_dtd&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;filter=p&amp;getfields=wnnis&amp;sort=date:D:S:d1"><font>Steven Spielberg</font></a><font><font> in opposing the measure. </font></font></em>
<p><font><font>So, all of you who own and Apple computer&hellip;&hellip;. No comment (I confess I covet one too, especially the really neat one at Best Buy).&nbsp; </font></font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font><font>I use Gmail, which I&rsquo;ll be changing soon.&nbsp; As well as my usage of Picasa and any other Google based app.&nbsp; I don&rsquo;t continue to support organizations that blatantly attack the family.&nbsp; </font></font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font>Steven, I&rsquo;m very disappointed in you.&nbsp; I don&rsquo;t think ET will be phoning you anytime soon.</font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font>Lastly, there was this comment:</font></p>
<p> <em><font><font>&#8220;The cultural acceptance of gay marriage is a long-term process,&#39;&#39; said Kolbert of People for the American Way. </font></font></em>
<p><font><font>Ms Kolbert&hellip;.it will be a very long-term process because there will should never be a &ldquo;cultural acceptance&rdquo; of something that is soo bad for society.&nbsp; But that is okay, you keep working on it.&nbsp; The longer the fight for gay unions the longer we procreators have to out birth you.&nbsp; </font></font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font>
<p><font><font>Just imagine the history books in a couple of hundred years.&nbsp; Like the plant eaters and meat eaters before us we&rsquo;ll be called the procreators and the cohabitates.&nbsp; </font></font></p>
<p> <font>&nbsp;</font>
