My friends, if we go to court appealing this same-sex marriage decision, do we dare tell the judge why we are really there? I mean, if the judge were to just stop the proceedings, look us in the eye, and ask us why we believe same-sex marriages are wrong, what would we say?
Would we say, "It's in the Bible, Sir"?
"I've wondered about this the past day or two. I wonder if being honest includes somewhere along the line stating the real reason you have for being there in court. You might argue on other lines, telling the judge that here are some reasons that might make a difference to him. But, it just seems somewhere you should 'fess up as to why you are there.
There's that question common in courts, the one they run by you before they let you testify. "Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?"
It does seem strange that we place our hand on the Bible, promising to tell the truth, but yet we will be in big trouble if we say that the truth is, it is that same Bible that got us there, and it that same Bible we'd like to use as part of our evidence.
Just saying.
