Thoughts of Francis Turretin: The Bronx Declaration

The Bronx Declaration

The Manhattan Declaration got bogged down with a bunch of irrelevant stuff. Here's an alternative, the Bronx (another part of New York City, for those wondering what Bronx has to do with anything) Declaration:

(1) Two men can't marry one another, no matter how strongly they wish otherwise. That's because marriage is between a man and a woman, not between two men or between two women. Fornication between two men doesn't marry them in the eyes of God, and shouldn't be recognized as marriage in the eyes of the state.

(2) A child in his mother's womb is a child no matter how strongly his mother may wish otherwise. It's a biological fact, folks. The fact that the child's placenta feeds off the mother's womb wall doesn't make him a part of her, any more than him nursing after birth makes him a part of her. He has his own human genome, and ought to be protected and nurtured, not killed, by his mother. The state ought also protect unborn children, even from their mothers.

(3) We will continue to point out (1) and (2) no matter how strongly you may wish otherwise. Yes, that may lead to negative consequences for us, but we're willing to speak out for the objective immorality of calling fornication marriage or refusing to outlaw murder of the most helpless human denizens of a state. We point these things out not because we have decided that fornication and murder are wrong, but because the God who created all flesh and who defined marriage in the Garden of Eden has declared this to be the case.

Signed,

Pretty funny.

I read at a couple secular web sites though, and they all know this is exactly what the narrow minded intolerant bible thumpers think. In fact, I've seen liberal- affirming and welcoming- "Christians" defend themselves that they are not fundies who hold to these views. So I never did get the point of the MD, I mean, all the politicians and journalists already know what fundy Christians think about this.
 
I was expecting something more along the lines of this from something called the Bronx Declaration:

Hey! Stupid! Two guys can't marry one another, no matter how much they want it. What I got to do? Hit you up side the head? Marriage is between a man and a woman, not between two guys or two gals. Fornication (like I know what these big words mean) between two guys don't marry them in the eyes of God, and the gov'ment's got no business saying they can marry. Now get outta here!

That would probably become popularly known as the Bronx Cheer :)
