This is a post that I sent to a good friend of mine on Facebook.  It captures my feelings concerning the Supreme Court's decision on gay marriage:

My greatest fear is not the average person who has demanded tolerance for many years. History has proven it is the ACTIVIST groups, factions (yes, I said FACTIONS), and "community organizers" that have promoted progressive policies for nearly a century that have slowly pushed our country further and further to the left and away from the founding principles upon which we were based. These groups have pushed their agenda forcing the hand of more ACTIVIST judges to trample the Constitution. And if they will trample on the Constitution, there's no reason why these groups wouldn't trample on the founding Judaeo-Christian principles on which our country was created. Marriage is not a right. It is a great desire. It is a wonderful thing to be a part of. But it isn't a right! You are not fundamentally born with an absolute DEMAND of getting married. If it were a demand and a right, I would have commissioned the government to provide me a wife 20 years ago (preferably Christy Turlington). In fact, the government shouldn't be involved at all. It is a religious ceremony. So those that have been trying to redefine marriage have been ultimately fighting against religion--forcing, nudging, litigating if necessary a cultural shift to defy God and His commandment of one man and one woman. If you think this is the end of it and all activists can go home proclaiming victory never to be seen again, you are kidding yourself. This is just the beginning. The irony here is, for the all the talk about "separation of Church and state" (which is vastly misinterpreted by the progressive left), we have now in this country a new state religion: secularism. And little by little they have pushed God away and forced Christian religions by fiat or by activist law to compromise principle and demand compliance. M. J. Sobran said, ‘A religious conviction is now a second-class conviction, expected to step deferentially to the back of the secular bus, AND NOT TO GET UPPITY ABOUT IT’ (Human Life Review, Summer 1978, pp. 58–59). Neal A. Maxwell said, 'This new irreligious imperialism seeks to disallow certain opinions simply because those opinions grow out of religious convictions. Resistance to abortion will be seen as primitive. Concern over the institution of the family will be viewed as untrendy and unenlightened.' What is remarkable is these statements were said decades ago. And now they've come to their prophetic conclusion. We don't know the effect yet of what this law will bring. But I guarantee you, our society is now forever changed. Our children will have a more difficult time understanding the importance of THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL UNIT of society, for society is abandoning it. Ideal situations of families will become more difficult to achieve. The lines between accepted natural law concerning gender continue to morph and blur and we may in 20, 30 years not even recognize a traditional family anymore for it will become the anomaly, instead of the ideal. Those who support this Supreme Court decision think that they have won a historic battle and feel that society has made progress. But sadly, it will be a hollow victory. And the progress we've made will drive us closer to a dangerous cliff, one that history has shown ends in calamity.
