Our good friend Travis Richey made these two public service announcements (PSAs) to promote the 2010 California Marriage Protection Act. Watch them. Learn from them; and share them with loved ones and family.
It is truly a blessing from God when your wife can walk in on you watching an Internet video and it actually moves you further from divorce, rather than closer to it.

Yes, many in the PROFESSING church appear as hypocrits when they come again Gay marriage saying it is not in line with Tradional marriage……….it is a threat to it. The reality is that God created marriage—-one man/one woman FOR LIFE. ANY relationship outside this “original” marriage is sin. To “re” marry another after divorcing your original spouse is to enter into an adulterous relationship—-a marriage NOT joined as One flesh by God—an illicit union. What the state says is “legal” does not matter to God, whether it be an adulerous “marriage” or a homosexual “marriage”. Neither are viewed by God, according to HIS Word to us, as One flesh legitimate unions.
Because many in the “church” have redefined marriage in order to accept/tolerate adultery(remarriage after divorce), in opposition to God’s Word, it then is just not believeable use God’s Word to come against another form of forbidden marriage: homosexual marriage. For those who say remarriage is permitted due to extra-marital adultery, because a remarriage dissolves the original one, etc, realize this: the very earliest writings by the church show the early church did NOT believe the scriptures taught this. They believed, though one partner committed adultery (or was even in an ogoing adulterous relationship), it STILL was adultery for the “innocent” one to move on and marry another. Rom. 7:2-3, I Cor. 7:39 testify that adultery does NOT dissolve the original marriage in the sight of God—-as does the example of Herod/Herodias and David/Michal………..I truly hope that more and more people’s eyes would be opened on the destruction of family WITHIN the church and deal with it’s own sins before trying to correct the sins of those OUTSIDE the church (I Cor. 5). Blessings……..
well said …remarriage is not permitted until death…seems if churches taught this divorce among belivers would be non existant..also i am appauled at the way churches allow remarried couple to join the church!yes the doors are open to all to come and hear the truth..but not as members..they are living in sin that cl4esrly goes against his commandments laid out for us to follow..repentance has to happen..which means to come out of an ungodly marriage…reconcile with your frost and only spouse or remain single and live in purity…it can be done..also in the old testament God called his people who took wives that were non hebrew to get rid of those wives and children and repent…its the same today… tough yes…do able absolutely if we are to honor God with our bodies…reconciliation ids always the will of our creator..satan attacks marriage yet the church refuses to teach the truth about remmariage..might lose too much money and members… instead of fearing the lord they fear man…the end of time says we will be lovers of self….just look around we want who and wahat we want..instead of what God gave us
And people wonder why there is divorce with all these stark-raving mad lunatics around drilling it into people’s heads that they cant divorce unless the other person DROPS DEAD. Isn’t that in itself implying you should kill your spouse when youre done or was that just a black widow’s perspective being twisted into convient religious beliefs?
You guys just need to chill out- like for real.
A joke is a joke
Seriously people, did you watch the videos? IRONY. THink back to the Yes on Prop 8 ads. Can’t you see it?
Yes, Emily, I do see the irony (hypocrisy). I personally WOULD like to see divorce of original marriage couples made illegal. That would do MUCH to protect traditional marriage—forcing many to work out their problems instead of bailing when things get tough (and in almost ALL marriages there are ROUGH spots(some VERY rough). I personally am NOT of the mindset that because divorce is prevalent and acceptable by some(thereby causing destruction of traditional families), then the doors ought to be swung wide open to include other relationships that go against the traditional family. Ultimately to me, the REAL change need to begin in the hearts of man/woman. When they seek to please God and love others in sacrificial ways instead of feeding selfish desires/dishonoring their vows and commitments, families WILL change for the better.
Forcing people to stay married will do exactly as much good for the “traditional family” as keeping people in committed loving relationships for getting parried in the first place. (The point of the group/site being that neither will do anything at all to protect real marriage.)
God has as much of a place in the divorce conversation as in the gay marriage conversation, ie NONE, though (again, as is the whole point) the supporters of prop 8 would make it all about God, so this site must too, to point out, again, the irony. We are talking about laws and the constitution, not religion.
Emily, the reality IS that before there was a no fault divorce, MOST married persons stayed together and the end result was INTACT families—-generational intact families. I’m sure also that because of this, many who would have bailed if things were like they are today, worked out their problems because there wasn’t an “out”. Most of us who have had problems and stuck with the marriage to get to the other side, have been quite blessed…………….and our children will reap the benefits of that as well, never having to choose who to live with, how to get along with others the parents have forced into their lives, or when adults, who to visit and when. Those uncomfortable choices for many would not have to happen if divorce was handled like it was years ago and there was a stigma still for those who did not take marriage/family obligations seriously.
Oh, and concerning God, since it was God who created man AND created the joining of man/woman together, I believe He is VERY much in the picture—-irregardless of whether you think He should be or not.
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
PREAMBLE
We, the People of the State of California, grateful to Almighty God for our
freedom, in order to secure and perpetuate its blessings, do establish this
Constitution.
Our laws were intended to secure blessings from Almighty God. This may not be the views of many today, but it is important to note that this is not how it has always been. Most find this difficult to except.
I just have to point out @ lastblast, one more time, that “irregardless” isn’t a word.
Your god didn’t help you with the vocab, did “he”?
The people sponsoring this issue stepped into something that would really be interesting to see where it would go if they treated it seriously. Unfortunately their treating this as a joke has turned the issue of gay marriage into a joke. That is the tragedy; immaturity will do that. I’m all for it, but not like this. Sad. America doesn’t need this snide, cynical Letterman hummor anymore. People are sick of it. The videos are funny in a 1980′s sort of way. Gay marriage needs to be told from the light of commitment and how that commitment will better our community, posterity, children, and our national charactor. This movement on this web site is one goofy, desperate step backwards. You can do better!
I really do not agree. I think the justifications for prop 8 are exactly as immature and backwards and the justifications for banning divorce. I think dome posers take it a little too far, but the base idea is right on. Prop 8 and a protection of marriage is simply ludicrous, nothing posted here could be any more so.
Good god I need proofread! Trying those last two sentences again.
I think some posers take it a little too far, but the base idea is right on. Prop 8 as a protection of marriage is simply ludicrous, nothing posted here could be any more so.
I’m divorced and happily so. No, its not easy, but I didnt just bail from a “rough spot”. Are you kidding me? The man beat me and did drugs. Where in the Bible is that ok? Where is ok to commit adultery?
Narrow minded people cant have the last say in everything-and what kind of marriage is traditional?
Its not just about divorced or married- its about responsibility. Everyday children are exposed to much worse in video games and tv.
Its not just what they are being taught at school- its the HOME as well.
Yes, if we toss traditional marriage out the window it might affect education and so on, but isnt it already?
Repent, come to Jesus, display the evidence of speaking in tongues and He will change your God-made husband if you have the faith to believe!
@Son of Thunder:
Ummm…. get a grip. Speaking in tongues? WOW.
Faith-Delusion, Delusion-Faith, there is no difference.
Excellent! What will He change my God-made husband into? A woman? A frog? A giant chocolate bar? That would rock and be of much more use to me. I’m not so sure about the speaking in tongues business… I only have one and it sometimes troubles me as it is. But I’ll give it a go for a giant chocolate bar.
Jesus said that God allowed divorce for adultery and hardness of heart. God is very much in the marriage/divorce question and He understands the issues. There is no blessings or answered prayer if there is no unity of mind in marriage. By the way, my ex was a minister who spoke in tongues, committed adultery and repeatedly beat me—what does that say about him and his faith? My faith and trust is in God and He gave me wisdom to know that it was time to go!
Kids are going to learn about “the gays” from someone, one way or another. Are you going to lock them up in the attic and “protect them” from the homos?
monica..jesus did not and has never said that divorce is permotted..rather God detest..but divorce in a civil court doesnt take away the only way to aalow for remarriage as God sees marriage is for life..thus till death due us part.BUT if divorced remain single or reconcile..in your case remaining single would be best..you dont have to live that way..trust in the lord..death may be sooner for that false christian preacher you are married to..
@lastblast:
I couldn’t help laughing at your comments… You’re so opposed to divorce, but almost seem to be fighting for it! If you are a god-loving (and no, I don’t capitalize god) christian (nope, not that either), then you can’t possibly be arguing for divorce? And REGARDLESS (just pointing out your use of a word that doesn’t exist: irregardless) of how you interpret the bible (don’t capitalize that, either), it’s in black and white: NO DIVORCE, WOMEN ARE TO BE SUBMISSIVE, BEAT YOUR CHILDREN IF THEY DISOBEY YOU. You are not a true christian if you don’t believe these things. If you disagree, then we have something in common: we both disagree on something the other one happens to believe in: You, the bible and god and all that crap. Me, in gay marriage. And I don’t believe in divorce, by the way. Lucky for me, I love my wife (my pregnant wife) so much that divorce is a word that doesn’t exist in my relationship’s vocabulary.
Nope, I do not believe in divorce of original married couples. Some may have to separate for a time due to personality issues, unrepentant sin, etc. I do not believe whether divorce is made legal/illegal that it dissolves the unions God joins together (the original first marriages). I do believe in repentance though—the forsaking of those “marriages” that are called adultery by Jesus. In such instances you may say I am “for” divorce, but the reality is that I am for forsaking sin as defined sinful by God.
I’m curious though, since you do not believe in God or His standards (if you believe gay marriage is “good”), what will restrain you from divorcing your wife when you no longer FEEL in love with her, when the daily problems of life creep up and maybe she doesn’t treat you so well anymore……….or someone else comes in the picture who is VERY attractive and attentive to you when your wife is no longer so?
Why would you ever assume that my feelings for my wife, or vice versa, would ever go away? Are YOU some kind of god-like being?
Do you consider yourself a good, loyal christian, lastblast? Because I think you’re one crappy god-loving human.
Hmm. What’s an “original” married couple? The first marriage? What if someone gets divorced but then finds God and can’t find the first spouse. Can they continue to get divorced? What if a spouse dies? Can their spouse remarry? Or are they united for all eternity? That would really blow if they were really young. So which marriages does Jesus call adultery? Is it just when it’s convenient for someone to get divorced so they can marry someone you like? Why do you believe someone who thinks gay marriage is good doesn’t believe in God? There are lots of denominations that support gay marriage.
Also, I am very sad for you that you assume people will eventually no longer love their wives. That must have happened to you and that’s so sad. There were some incredibly unhappy people when it was not okay to get divorced. People didn’t live as long, either. I think there’s a correlation. I think my parents would have died rather than stay married if divorce hadn’t been an option. Either that or they would have killed each other. My dad stopped drinking after the divorce. He was so much happier. Now they are both happy. I’m happy, my siblings are happy. Everyone is happy. Oh by the way, my dad’s a minister.
Life must be so hard in your narrow little skull. I think I’m going to start a website to help people with narrow heads.
P.S.: LOVE LOVE LOVE the videos!
Hypocrites Abound!
You would think that the Roman Catholics, Mormons and Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church (part of the Religious Reich) would be strongly supporting this measure (especially monetarily) if for once you really thought they believed in what they teach about the whole marriage institution crap they pushed when gays wanted to marry.
I personally think that this measure will show to the people of California and to the world that all the millions they spent against gays getting married in California was nothing more then HATE, pure and as simple as that and really had nothing to do with the Institute of Marriage or the whole Sanctity of Marriage from God that they claim it was.
I must thank you for this measure and website which will speak louder then words and show the true motives of the Religious Reich in their true stand towards marriage and in letting others (gay people) get married.
The sad thing too is that “per-capita” wise California has a “heterosexual” of near 68% while the “homosexual” divorce rate is 16% (based on California state figures released October 2009),
In the end I am sure the churches will bite the dust and be exposed for their HATE and not their LOVE.
Voters in my State of California need to pass a new law (ballot initiative) stating that, “Mormonism is not a real and true religious faith.” This law shall eliminate tax-exempt status of any LDS church and mormons will no longer be a protected-class status on the basis of religion.
Another law can state, “Only marriage between two adults of the same religious faith is valid or recognized in California.” So that young non-Mormon women (like myself) can protect ourselves from abusive, dishonest Mormon men, YES! =]
I think that’s a BRILLIANT idea and I would vote for it. We wouldn’t want, say, a Baptist and a Muslim marrying and then figuring out they don’t share the same beliefs and then getting divorced. Ugh! We should expand this website to say that we need to prevent divorce by preventing marriages that won’t work! Yeah!
I cannot believe this act is being taken seriously. Shame on all of you. How dare you think you have any right to get involved in the lives of others. What gives you or your god the right to dictate how the rest of us live our lives? What about abusive spouses? What about loveless marriage? Why should a child have to grow up watching two parents fight because they should no longer be married? Why should two people suffer through a bad relationship because they just weren’t as good of a match as they thought. The fact of the matter is, marriage is a contract. And like most contracts, it can be broken if both parties see that the arrangement isn’t working. Your god had nothing to do with my marriage, and he had nothing to do with my divorce either. Getting married was the worst decision I have ever made, and getting a divorce was the best. For those who feel that marriage is a sacred and religious act, more power to you. You have the right to worship how you see fit. However, not everyone shares your beliefs. Why should the rest of use be forced to participate in your values when they are not our own? This is the same empirialist attitude that has oppressed and killed thousands, maybe millions. What gives you the right?
Oh and by the way it is in the constitution that this country was built on that there should always be a SEPARATION of church and state. KEEP YOUR RELIGION OUT OF MY GOVERNMENT!
Amen Freedom,
Now you understand how many Gay and Lesbian men and women feel having the Religious Reich’s beliefs dictate who they can and can not marry based on the religious view of such narrow minded people.
I really like how you stated “Why should the rest of use be forced to participate in your values when they are not our own?”
If the Religious Reich can say that “marriage is a sacred vow” then they should set an example and stand behind their moral hypocrisy and outlaw divorce completely with the same fervor as they use to persecute those who do not believe as they do.
I also like the way you bring up the fact that marriage is a contract and not a religious institution unlike what many in the Religious Reich want to make it into.
I’m still wondering why and when marriage became anything but a writ of ownership over a woman and her property as marriage had been for more then 5,000 years. It wasn’t until the 20th century that women even had any rights at all.
History has shown that the Religious Reich fought over giving women any rights at all just as the Religious Reich (namely Southern Baptists) fought to keep their slaves which they claimed was their right under God because the bible said so.
In this case the bible (both testaments) does discourage making “a vow to God” and then breaking it. It sure shows just how much their word is worth especially when they lie to their own GOD and break their word to Him/her in the company of so many others- shame, shame on these hypocrites.
I personally think this bill is a wake-up call to the Religious Reich that if they are going to turn marriage into this Holy Institution then they are also going to need to live by that institutions basic values which I feel is the message this bill is trying to set.
Maybe the national divorce rate might drop since the majority of divorce is after all based on the Religious Reich’s Fundamentalism and conservative views.
hi dr…why i agree and disagree with some of your comments i see what you see among the religeous richt….but dont let that keep you from seeking the truth about jesus…he loves you too and ask you to seek him……but its your decision….
well, lets just speak truth here…divorce isnt something God likes in fact he detest…whether christian or not..yet believers which i am proud to say i am…..dont follow what the bible teaches..marriage is for life and death only ends a marriage..no civil court has authority to end a marriage..only death and God controls that…as far as unbelivers wanting marriage ,civil unions, etc…well the laws of the land dictates that now doesnt it…christians have to obey those laws but we are commanded no to be part of it..in other words we arent to divorce but if we do we are to remain single or reconcile…christians act like the rest of the world and marry divorce and remarry..makes you question there salvation doesnt it..and by the way no religion has the authority to annul a marriage either..so when all these good people have there views and rightfully so the religion of this world has set it up..we dont do what we preach when it comes tom remarriage and divorce..if we did we wouldnt allow someone divorced and remaaried become memebers of our church but we would ask them to repent…if you want to be a religeous hypocrite then you are..if you want to be the light of this fallen world as christians , then stay married, we dont need a law by man saying divorce is illegal..God already says remarriage is! and he detest divorce..we dont need mans laws telling us what to do now do we…as far as gays etc getting married and the religeous right fighting them…tkae the log out of our own eyes first before we can ever be the light to those who we know are apart from God…the church ahs turned more away from the truth of the bible by its twisting of the truth…so christians you want to fight for marriage then keep your vows..no matter what..divorce doesnt end your marriage to your first spouse..only death…so trying to say its sactified it is but the church is guilty of not teaching the truth abouth remarriage now has it…there is no reason for remarriage as long as your spouse is alive…divorce for adultry some say is right…jesus said it was not that way in the beginning..it was for life…..so come on those who say they have ade jesus lord..repent..show the world the truth…then and only then csn we lead those astray back to God…repent for the kingdom of God is near, never more true! so all the ones saying a law against divorce have there man made laws and rights too…as for a believer we have our laws by God!we are to live by Gods word..not the worlds..hey prostitition is legal by man…gays getting married is legal by man…who do we as believrs follow..man or God…let me end in saying all the nonbelievers im sorry for the witness you have seen in a christian to turn you from the Lord..i pray you see the need for jesus to be your savior and lord..but then again he wont force himself or his will on you and neither do i…i just ask you to read his bible with an open heart and see the truth…and i pray the religeous hypocrites repent and follow the truth of his word as well..remember jesus fought agaisnt the religeous hypocrites too, yet went to the sinners to teach and set his example…may the Lord open the eyes of your hearts who read this…..
Amen pat miaoulis,
I think your 100% right in your post and so you know I am a devout Gay Roman Catholic who reads the whole Bible and such.
I too (just as my church teaches) believe that marriage is for life. You make a vow to God (which Jesus spoke about in the Gospels) and in that vow you say “Till death do us part.”
I myself am in a relationship which many don’t recognize. However we did find a Priest who secretly married us in the eye’s of God.
We have been together now for 17 years and we are still very much in love with each other. We both know that we are married, wear rings to remind us of the vows we made and understand what “TILL DEATH DO WE PART”
Thank You for your post and message. It was right on and perfect.
Amen, Pat! Focus on the Family and all the other religious right ministries who keep focusing on the unsaved world’s sins such as homosexuality, need to first take the plank out of their own eyes………….Get the adultery (as defined by Jesus) out of our camp so that we may rightly be able to help those who are stumbling/not right with Jesus. Right now we have NO credibility. Dobson’s own son is divorced and remarried(in adultery)……..Divorce and remarriage is rampant in the 700 club staff, it is rampant at TBN. We talk about “traditional/biblical marriage” yet we are not walking the walk. As a Christian who SEES the hypocrisy and has written about it extensively, I am frustrated with the blindness in the professing Church at it’s own sins………
Hey Pat!
How does god feel about liver? Does he like it?
Any word from god on how the Yankees are going to do this season? What about the Blackhawks? I sure hope god is a ‘Hawks fan – and you’d know, too, wouldn’t you!
Oh goodness Pat, thanks the dogs that there are self-righteous (I daresay deliusional) people like you! You have single handedly restored my faith in humanity’s innate drive towards self destruction!
Peace (or peas, whatev)!
What Bible are you reading? Deuteronomy clearly states that God permitted divorce and He set down laws for the divorced to follow. Matthew 5:32 (KJV)states “But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery,” This means that if a person divorces their spouse for any other reason besides adultery, THEN any marriage after that is also adultery, because the divorce was for no good reason. However, there are justifiable reasons for divorce according to the word of God–adultery and hardness of heart(look it up). Anyway, my ex husband was the fool as well as an abusive adulterer and I can’t see that one man should stop me from enjoying a loving relationship (marriage)with a better man and having children with that man–which is my God-given right. My parents have celebrated 50 years of marrige and I wanted to do the same. I am now married 15 years and counting, so I have no problem working on a marriage. But if God sees my present marriage as an adulterous affair and makes my children bastards, then what’s the point of me continuing being a Christain? I know God as being a God of mercy, love and understanding and He has blessed me. Your God is a God of rules, cold and merciless–your God condemns; my God redeems. Maybe that’s why people love God, but hate church and run when they see Christians coming.
i read kjv..God detest divorce..hardness of mans heart doesnt say God allows it..jesus says it was not that way in the beginning..man doesnt over ride Gods word or commands..man the world came up with divorce..speaking of the verse in matthew…notice it says fornication[sex before marriage] this was spoken tot he jews during the engagaement period if someone was found to not be a virgin or sexually impure..in an engagemnet period even then as now they are betrothed and were considered husband and wife except the consumation of marriage hadnt occured..in fact in biblical times after the wedding the bride and groom would go to there tent and after they got intimate the groom would come out with the blood stained sheets to show the guest the blood to prove she was pure..joseph was gong to give mary a silent decree od divoce yet they hadnt married yet and consumated the marriage rememeber as hse was was a virgin yet pregnated by the Holy Spirit…mark and luke which was spoken to the gentiles…sad no one ever quotes those verses…look them up..also paul even speaks IF a divorce happens we must reconcile or remain single or be patient and wait till the death of our spouse before remarriage is allowed..so even if becuase of mans hard hearts we divorce there is no reason given to remary anyone else till death of our spouse with out it being adultery….our society along wth satan and mans heart has gone against the word of the lord..so what do we need to do..realize we have sinned..we made a bad choice in who we married the first time…face the truith and repent and cry out to the lord.forgive our first spouse for doing what they did and forgive our actions that may have lead to the divorce as well..but i nor God is condemming…but CONVICTION OF SIN.. then repentance not hardness of heart.then commit the marriage you are in to the lord for life.better or worse..till death…was it adultery..did no sin get committed…were yall sexually pure before this marriage..only you 2 and the lord really know.but remarriage is what the word calls it..show me one verse where remarriage is mentioned specifically that is allowed…where a divorce has occured…until the death of our spouse..unless to each other…
you said what is the point of being a christian? well eternal life with Christ and livivng on this earth following his example..its not easy in fact he and many believers have died for the faith.we are to die daily and flee from sin..but the world not the lord has taken remarriage and says it isnt adultery yet the word says it is….one remariage, i know of some who have remarried 5 times yet sit in the pews each week and hav no sence of the hurt and sin they have done..all under grace….are they beleivers and will enter the kingdom? i cant judge that but the word should convict them..it says what it says..now let me say i am a vicim of divorce after a 25 year marriage…38 years relationship..she had an affiar and divorced and remarried yet another man after that…and did so 62 days after our marriage ended..just because she clearly sinned and broke her covenant….should i no do the same..i have walked in purity for 4.6 years..yes i have stumbked and repented in fornication and yes it would be adultery by the same word i live by.yes i have repented…i cant marry even though i want to! as there are many godly women i know…yet few are biblically eligible…BUT PLEASE PLEASE IF YOU CAN SHOW ME ANY VERSE WHICH SAYS I CAN REMARRY WITHOUT IT BEING ADULTERY I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT… it is my cross and dieing of self i carry..honoring his word and trusting him i desire..
yes the lord forgives after we confess to him[and i belive to each other as it states] then we must repent and flee the sin..
50 years ago the pill was introduced was it not..then no fault divorce.abortions werent allowed 50 years ago either…but mans laws and hardnes of heart changed the laws of man and againt the word of the lord..satan has decieved many even those of us who claim to be belibvers and we sit and sin and say grace allows it…God forbid as paul teaches..our society if you look around is out of control and doing what we think is ok…sodom and ghomorah did the same thing and there government had laws alloing evr sin imaginabke..just as we do in our world today…
let me ask you do you really believe that we as christians walk a jesus …are we better beleivers than those in jesus time or those just 100 years ago…as a society? if we are his hands and feet are we changin the world? divorce is running wild as is remarriage..children are having babies as teenagers outside of wedlock.disease sexually are killing many each year..yet we christians find excuses to justify our sins each year…jesus warned of false teachers…they existe4d then and still do..doctrines of religion have changed all the time …even homosexuals and gays are filling the pulpit! same sex marriages is satan s yet another attempt at destroying what God calls a marriage..one man for one woman for life…not some trial and redo..yes god forgives an yes he shows his mercy to his children..his children love him and obey his commandments…seejames..also revelation..NO YOU SHOULDNT DIVORCE THE LOVING HUSBAND YOU HAVE AND NO YOUR CHILDREN ARENT BASTARDS..but there was sin and repentance and cryiong outto the lord may be in order..and commititng the children and your relationship now to him for life as you promised in covenat and never to be broken[even if a divorce happens again] follow what the word says..remarry when it says after the death of your spouse..God says it in his word does he not…
BUT IF YOU CAN SHOW ME ANY VERSE THAT SAYS I CAN REMARRY…PLESES SHOW ME…YES I CAN DIVORCE AND GOD DETEST IT BUT CAN BE FORGIVEN FOR NY PART IN THE DIVORCE…..BUT REMARRIAGE BEFORE HER DEATH? IT SAYS WHAT IT SAYS BUT WITHOUT ARGUING TO YOU I BEG YOU SHOW ME AS I TOO DONT WANT THE LIFE OF BEING SINGLE! i want to be happy with a woman and enjoy intimacy with one woman…but the word says it is adultery and i refuse to make excuses or twist his word so i can have what i want ..but please if you know of just one veres which states i can remarry iwill..yes i know it says if a non belibver leaves i am not under bondage..marriage isnt a bondgage..but it still doesnt say i am free to remarry anyone else does it..i say all this in christian love and i am not condemming you or attacking at all..i said you shouldnt have staayed in the marrige of that toher person under his roof and be beaten and sinned against….never would GOD WANT THAT… but remarriage? please show me..please, i beg you..non chriatians watch christians divorce and remarry..is that the example jesus taught…forgiveness and love…
Tee hee. You christian supremists are so cute, like a toddler who does something neato. It’s funny that you take your false sense of entitlement to every corner of the earth then act surprised when we non-christians, tired of your attempts at colonizing and converting, decide to crash big aeroplanes into your buildings. Keep your god and your beliefs to yourself. Jesus wasn’t a magician or someone with special powers. He was just a typical flashy faggot with tricks up his sleeves! Oh, and he was HOT. I’d totally tap Christ’s ass!
BUMP!
“Voters in my State of California need to pass a new law (ballot initiative) stating that, “Mormonism is not a real and true religious faith.” This law shall eliminate tax-exempt status of any LDS church and mormons will no longer be a protected-class status on the basis of religion.”
I think we’d have had more chance of getting them demoted for financing politics. They are expressly forbidden from doing so. There is a form you can print out to file a complaint, just search for it; you’ll find it.
Are all of you completely devoid of a sense of humour (yes, I spelled it with a ‘u’)?
This is satire, people…
Yes, The Gay is mocking YOU, evangelical fundamentalist xian! And you too, mindless sheeple who cannot seem to see beyond your own creased noses.
For those of you educated in parochial schools, or perhaps by your own brainwashed xian parents, here is the definition of satire, courtesy of Wikipedia.org (you know, the “people’s” encyclopedia):
Satire is often strictly defined as a literary genre or form, although it can be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are censured by ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, with the intent of improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its purpose is not so much humour as attack, using the weapon of wit.
BAAAAAAAA!!
I totally get the satire, Pnug. I am a Christian and see the hypocrisy in much of the church. We are filled with remarried couples (adulteresses/adulterers according to Jesus and Paul), yet we are pointing out sin in the NON-Christian community–who we are trying to evangelize. Jesus hated hypocrisy and exposed it. Is homosexuality sin? Yes……..but, so is adultery……..and Christ taught that we are to set the example of godliness, yet we are falling WAY short—-taking other’s husbands and wives as our own and declaring ourselves “righteous” because we have a piece of paper that now says so and so’s wife or husband now belongs to us………hmmmmm……..in the end, only what God has said matters and I pray much of the church would REPENT instead of excusing their own sin and expecting repentance from those who do not even accept Christ as Lord.
Jesus said nothing of homosexuality.
Do you follow the old testament?
Incidentally, we’re still mocking you… oh, and your “hell”, too.
Psst – you already voluntarily live in self-imposed hell. Just sayin’.
Arguing online (especially on someone else’s page or blog) is like winning the Special Olympics! Even if you win, you’re still fuckin’ retarded.
Guys, it’s just meant to be satirical. It’s a satire on the prop 8 campaign ‘Protect Traditional Family.’ It’s meant to be taken lightly, if you’re offended it’s because you realize that they’re right. (I especially loved the dog part in PSA 2… hilarious!)
Why have any laws regarding marriage? Is it really the government’s business whether or not I am having sex with the person I am living with? Why do we need a license to get married? Why do we need permission to get divorced?
Get rid of the government involvement, then everyone can do what they want without the needing anyone’s permission. The laws do not change anyone’s behavior, it just creates paperwork and hassle.
The government actually does have a purpose in marriage suprisingly, although I would argue religion has very little. Governments encourage marriage to promote social stability. It is easier for two people to take care of each other than for one person to take care of his or herself.
Religion however encourages marriage to corrupt the minds of future generations, which is why gay marriage tends to not be something they are big fans of. Gays rarely pop out tons of kids and if they do it is by circumstance planned. Planning means there is probably thought and thought rejects lunacy. Since Religion relies on the lack of thought and soley on faith, the Church sees gay marriage as a net loss. I’m not kidding… unfortunately.
Governments intentions are pure but are mangled by the moral majority (depending on your definition of moral).

Pat,
May the Lord continue to give you strength to stand for Him. This life is but a “puff”–so many just do not understand this. Christians “say” they love, but I Cor. 13 never enters into the equation. The truth is: if one is “in Christ”, that LOVE will manifest within their lives as spoken of in I Cor. 13—-a love that is self-sacrificial towards the one who offends them that God joined them to, a love that desires to see the 3rd party come to genuine repentance too (for THEIR eternal good!).
As I’ve said before, much of today’s church needs to focus on cleaning up our own house before we tell others how to clean up their houses. Until we do that, Jesus will NOT be seen in us……all the world will see is false piety which has absolutely NO POWER to overcome the hardships in this world.
thanks
It seems like some of you don’t realize this is a wonderful joke. That worries me.
Chris,
I think most of us know this is a “joke”. The reason for this video is to expose the hypocrisy of those who claim to support “traditional” marriage. Traditional marriage USED TO be: marriage for life—NO DIVORCE. Most who say they support “traditional” support and in many cases HAVE divorced and do not represent “traditional” marriage any more. They no more value “traditional” marriage than do those who are fighting for homosexual marriage rights. As a Christian who believes in REAL traditional marriage as spoken of in the Bible, I am willing to say MOST of the “religious right” are hypocrits in application/lifestyles. They either partake in adultery (remarriage after divorce) OR they support the practice within the church, yet they speak against NON-CHRISTIANS and their marriage practices.
Personally, I like videos such as this one……..I LIKE hypocrisy being exposed so people will deal with it. Covering it up, is NOT of God. Blessings……..
It isn’t a joke, it is satire. I hope it goes all the way to the ballot box. The masses voted on my marriage, I should be allowed to at least do the same.
YESSSSSSS! Whomever made these PSAs, I’m gonna buy them all a really big box of wine and give ‘em a hug!
I am completely on board with this. My wife isn’t totally in agreement yet and she even got the idea in her mind that she wanted to leave me. I think she’s coming around to my way of thinking now. I was able to finally trust her enough to loosen the chains a little and have slowly reintroduced food. Thank you, God, for helping me to show her the light.
The message is that same-sex marriage should be supported because traditional marriages are in such a mess. Same-sex marriage is not the solution. Banning divorce (although advocated tongue in cheek) is not the answer. Couples need to work on bettering their marriages.
The idea of marriage and children go together. The two sexes are different and gender matters. Genderless/same-sex marriage deprives children of a father or a mother.
