Dear Editor,
Let me start by stating that what I’m writing here is totally not against any human gender or sexual preference. For a while now the topic of same-sex marriage is on the table. In the paper of December 27, the first two articles dealt with tragedy and travesty (a false, absurd, distorted explanation of something).
Our past governor just launched his book on Nation Building. I have not read the book, but it has a title which I believe that every literate person understands. When we stick paper together, whether to make the page thicker or the circumference larger, we glue. When we want to put blocks together we use mortar to stick them together. So is it also with nation building. It takes people of all colours and creed.
By now the majority of us know the confusion, the rhetoric, the controversy and all the negative stories surrounding COVID, of which one was “mysterious deaths”.
I am aware that at one time there was talk about compensation for couples if they would extend their families. I worked for government which added “kindertloelage” to the basic salary. On the rim of our guilder is engraved “God zij met ons”. “In God we trust” is printed on the USA bills. Genesis 1:28 tells us what God expected of Adam and Eve. Philipians 3:28 explains the intention of “subdue”. Not too long ago there was a dispute about a priest burying a dead person. So I do not think it would be far-fetched of me to ask why aren’t the churches (worldwide) speaking out against same sex marriage. My question therefore is: “How can we build a nation if we do not replenish with people?”
It is always good to have conversations with serious people. Not too long ago a gentleman told me, “They intend to replace us with robots.” I had to remind him that the cell phone is already far on it’s way to doing this. Of late the term is “Go online”. I constantly ask people if they can envision the consequences of going on line?
I do not think that philanthropy is prime in the minds of money moguls, because 1 Timothy 6:10 tells it all. The more we promote same-sex marriage, the quicker we are going to expedite the extinction of the human race. I am aware that there are a few more questions that people have concerning the negative consequences of same-sex marriage. I hope they would ask them. Which may put a different light on this matter.
