Legislating Morality?

[Praxeas]

You've probably heard this before in regards to having certain laws...you can't legislate morality. But can you? You can't force people to be truly moral in their heart through legislation, that is true.

However why can't we legislate a moral code for society? We already do it with theft, murder, rape and other moral issues. Why CAN'T we legislate morality for our society? Why can't we have laws based on morality to protect both individual citizens and society in general?

I read a lot from Christians saying we should be less political. But I was thinking about all these polls they have asking people questions about gay rights etc etc...they never asked me. Why SHOULDN'T Christians say gay marriage is wrong by voting? Why shouldn't we let our voices be heard? It's not a matter of forcing them to be moral. It's a matter of speaking up and saying "this is wrong". We said murder is wrong. We said theft is wrong. We said Child porn is wrong. Voting on those issues does NOT equal NOT preaching them as well, which is usually the fallacious argument in return. Just because Christians vote against some thing like gay marriages does not mean they are not at the same time preaching in their churches against sin and going out and witnessing to individuals.

People are often driven by peer pressure and our society is beginning to think "gay is ok" because they hear it a lot. The gay agenda is LOUD but gays make up a very very small percentage of the population, yet we are allowing their will to be forced upon our society which is also trickling down to our kids in schools and through the media. Our world is big. There are no more central market places to meet and preach. People don't all open their doors when you knock. This is one reason TV makes sense. But on the other hand why not send a message to all Americans that their are still a substantial number of people that have not bowed to Molech. Why NOT vote against the Gay agenda? Why NOT vote against baby killing? If it is morally wrong and you have the ability to affect those laws, are we being good citizens of the Kingdom by voting FOR such things by default by voting for candidates or political groups that favor such things?

Or are we being good citizens by being silent ON those issues and allowing our society to believe it's ok? Recently when the California law was repealed that banned gay marriages a Gay Lesbian spokesperson quipped that Californians showed their approval...it was ironic because in fact we showed our disapproval. It was a liberal court that changed the law. But THIS is what the small gay agenda wants YOU to believe...that YOU are a small small marginalized minority and you might as well NOT speak up because there are not enough of you to matter.

We have been in a battle for the hearts and MINDS of American Citizens...and we are allowing small but very vocal groups to win and promote their agenda on our society through their political actions and through our media and through peer pressure...the sad thing is peer pressure is usually the larger group pressuring the smaller, but this is happening in reverse because largely Christians do nothing.
