The most bastardized institution, most especially, in the western world, is the institution of marriage. The stench of its decomposition fills the air like the human debris of Adolf Hitler's massacres. Nobody seems to be able to procure the panacea for its redemption. The psychologists, counselors, mediators, and even pulpitarians wriggle in the miry clay of its crisis. The unbearably torturous heat of marital quagmire is wrapped underneath the skirts and trousers of pretentiously happy faces that walk together into stores; clubs and even churches.
This unresolved dilemma points the oncoming generation to give in to the most highly debased of human practice -popularly called, homosexuality. The raging fire of this friendly monster is spreading like the present economic downturn hitting both the rich and the poor, black and white, old and young, Christians and non Christians alike.
The end of this cancerous saga remains endlessly unknown. Yet, the only solution to the problem presented is blindly, ignorantly and arrogantly neglected. The author of this blessed, but bastardized institution – the Almighty God, is archived in the subconscious of everyone’s mind.
On this note I open my thread to minds – minds that can reason; minds that can judge; minds that can ponder over the debacle of the most blessed of all institutions, the institution of marriage, and channel the path of this helpless generation towards the glorious alleyway to victory.

I admire your bravery in jumping right in with such a hot topic from the start. I didn't realize you had such a passion for marriages. Strengthening marriages has always been close to my heart. In seminary, I took all of my electives in the area of marriage and family. I've watched Dr. Phil a few times and I've noticed that he cares deeply for children, but in many cases he couldn't care less about marriages. This surprises me because of his role as counselor.
Marriages are the foundation of family and family is the foundation on which everything is built. The crumbling of families in the U.S. seems to me a warning sign of a crumbling nation.
I agree that flagrant homosexuality is becoming a huge problem in our nation. I can remember when I was growing up in the 80's and early 90's that it was still unpopular to be gay. One didn't even hear the "lifestyle" discussed and now you can't watch a show without the token gay character. I can't help but think that the media has encouraged it and made it more popular.
I also think homosexuality is a choice like any other behavior. Even if they discover some "gay" gene that gives one a tendency toward homosexuality, I will maintain it is a choice and it is not God's will. Alcoholics who may inherit some gene that gives them the tendency, make a choice when they decide to take a drink. It is the same.
One cannot get around the fact that God includes homosexuality in the lists of sins he especially abhors. Who can deny God's feelings about homosexuality when one considers that He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone? He destroyed them because of their homosexuality. Some have suggested that it was destroyed because of their lack of hospitality. This idea makes me laugh. Don't people know where we get the word sodomy?
It especially saddens me that many churches do not take a stand against homosexuality. So many denominations have now divided over this issue. But then again, Christ warned that many would preach what tickles people's ears rather than the truth.
Many Christians cower at being called intolerant in this age of tolerance and relativism. The truth is that a holy God doesn't tolerate sin. Will He forgive the sinner? Yes! But those who boldly and arrogantly flaunt their sin in His face with no proclivity towards repentence will not escape the fire & brimstone.
I agree with what you are saying and think it needs to be said more.
Ruth.
