I might have also made an appearance to ask the panelists whether a “queer interpretation” of the Fourteenth Amendment lends support to a constitutional right to polygamy. As conservatives, we should use humor and ridicule to get someone’s attention. But we must also leave him with serious questions to ponder.
Your problem, as I see it, is rooted in a lack of faith in God. Had you sufficient faith in your Creator, you would believe that the best way to combat the sin of homosexuality would be to; a) allow homosexuals to use the First Amendment to promote the falsity of their lifestyle and, b) countered them by using the First Amendment to promote the Truth of yours.
Put simply, there is no better way to illuminate the Truth than by placing it next to untruth. And then you must reach out to those who recognize and respect what you are doing.
The other day, a lifelong atheist wrote to me saying she was moved by a story of forgiveness I had once written about my wife’s side of the family. She was so moved that she said “Mike Adams, you just might make a Christian out of me yet.” When I read her note, I thought that if I did (make a Christian of her) I could die tomorrow and my life would have been well worth living.
Then, a few days later, a funny thing happened. A man wrote me from Australia saying that after reading my columns he and his family had decided to go back to church. On an otherwise gloomy day, I could not have imagined hearing a better thing – even if from a total stranger.
And so the question for you is very simple. How can you change people’s lives by driving them deeper into the closet?
