Homosexuality portends the fall of modern civilisation

May 25, 2009 Letters

Following are four reasons why the adoption of the gay and lesbian agenda by state legislatures around the world portends the fall of modern civilisation.

First, exclusive homosexuality by definition is unsustainable. By that I refer to the natural inability of its class to reproduce their own biological kind.

It has been estimated that the population of the so confirmed and proud amounts to 2 to 13 percent. Should they be quarantined, gays and lesbians apart, on a deserted island with no contact with heterosexuals, they would simply grow old, die and be forgotten. Nature has fitted them with the means to be cut off from the general progress of humanity and to have their DNA completely removed from the genetic pool wherever the mutation occurs. In clamouring to be legally married, therefore, they effectually fulfill nature’s mandate and recognition reflects a macabre wish by the people: acquiescence as it were to the inevitable.

Secondly, given that the chain principle is true, that perpetuation of the species drives sexual expression; drives emotional attraction; drives formation of family units and that the natural purpose of the family was to provide the necessary shelter, support and encouragement to helpless offspring, then engaged homosexuals are being strange indeed.

Isn’t the expectation inherent in the familial ceremonies the reproduction of the parents? Nature would therefore be certainly nonplussed by marriages giving licence to pairs of individuals who were intent on sitting on bottles, as it were, instead of eggs. You should know that indifference to natural order is symptomatic of malaise born out of acute self indulgence which itself is moral obesity, the curse of inertia, pain and death.

Thirdly, the sexual expression of homosexual couples is biologically disturbing. This is the most difficult to see given the spectrum of intimacies people find addictively pleasurable. The air of nonchalance is swept away, however, once sex is viewed through the lens of wisdom about the human body and mutual respect between the persons so engaged. The cumulative effect of unnatural experimentation is not easily discerned until it works itself out in the last generation; just like the complex, virtual instruments Wall Street developed to mint millions of dollars in income and for which awards were handed out aplenty, but whose true valuation at the end brought down the worldwide financial system.

Fourthly, the Bible treats homosexuality as an abomination and provides precedent for judgment when its popular acceptance becomes conspicuous. It was neither condoned before the flood in the times of Noah, nor in Sodom during the time of Abraham. Immediately after the flood, Ham seeing his father Noah in a naked and drunken state, did to him what

he will and incurred the curse of Canaan; the vestiges of incestuous homosexuality suggesting the extent of pre-flood moral decay. Then there is Lot’s well known experience on the last night of Sodom’s existence, how the angels had to grab and pull him back from the door and strike blind the men of the city who were trying to get to them inside.

Even Lot, like Noah, being plied with wine by his own daughters afterward, fathered his own grandsons, again confirming the wantonness of their city before it fell.

Either way, with or without biblical recourse, the open practice of homosexuality is clearly a harbinger of final events. Democratically electing to recognise the rights of intimate association between consenting gays and lesbians is reflective of a commendable refutation of minority discrimination; but it is in this Trojan horse of civilized response, sadly, that the scrolls announcing the end of time are being delivered.
