Redefining marriage brings about social change. A small part of this change is positive, but it also brings about a lot of negative social outcomes too. This lecture looks at how religions automatically go into decline in countries that redefine marriage. In their place, the state sets about redefining right and wrong based on the changing views of the political class. Since these new definitions are often at odds with what people know to be right or wrong, the only way for the state to keep these new values in place is through fear. Society is left without the timeless principles that are found within most religions - and totalitarianism creeps in.

1. LECTURE SERIES: WHY THE REDEFINITION OF
MARRIAGE TO INCLUDE SAME-SEX MARRIAGES
HARMS FUTURE SOCIETIES AND WHAT OTHER
OPTIONS EXIST

LECTURE 6:
THE DECLINE OF RELIGION – AND THE GROWTH
OF A NEW, EVER-CHANGING UNDERSTANDING OF
RIGHT AND WRONG – WRITTEN BY THE
POLITICAL CLASS. PUT SIMPLY, A MOVEMENT
TOWARDS TOTALITARIANISM
(PLEASE START WITH LECTURE 1)

2. THE QUESTION WE ARE ASKING IN THIS LECTURE IS HOW DOES
REDEFINING MARRIAGE
From this
Two opposite-sex adults
making a commitment to
work together to fulfil the
RIGHT of their future
biological children to the best
possible start in life
To this
Any two adults making a
commitment to each other
based on mutual, sexual
attraction
Bring about the weakening of religions – and ultimately
a rise in the ability of political class to create an ever
changing understanding of right and wrong based on the
political favour of the day

3. THE WORLD AND RELIGIONS HAVE SEEN IT ALL
BEFORE.
Social acceptance of homosexual behaviour is not a
new phenomenon. As archaeologists uncovered
Pompeii they were astounded at how incredibly
sexualised Roman society was – with statues of men
fornicating with animals and an understanding that it
was Ok for men to have sex with young boys. The
Greeks too engaged in same-sex sex.

4. BUT THESE CULTURES DECAYED IN A LARGE PART BECAUSE FORMING
TRUSTING, NON-ABUSIVE COMMUNITIES IS IMPOSSIBLE WHEN
SEXUALITY ENTERS INTO EVERY FORM OF RELATIONSHIP.
 So
early Christianity, which was framed within the
marriage centred framework of Judaism, created a
new social morality around the use of sexuality –
encouraging it to be used primarily within the confines
of heterosexual marriage so as to best protect children
 Many Christians died in order to create a society that
accepted that sexuality was best expressed within the
boundaries of a heterosexual marital home. Other
faiths also seek social wellness through encouraging
the heterosexual marital family norm.

5. WE ALL BENEFIT TODAY FROM THE SOCIAL STABILITY
THAT THE HETEROSEXUAL MARITAL-FAMILY NORM
PROVIDES
 This
- A NORM THAT IS INHERENT IN CHRISTIANITY
AND JUDAISM
morality has protected Europe for some two
thousand years, eventually allowing for the growth of
democratic, flourishing societies.
 This being so most churches and other faiths have no
choice to oppose the redefinition of marriage because
they understand some or all of the harmful
consequences that redefinition will create for future
generations of children.

6. SADLY, IN MARRIAGE-REDEFINED COUNTRIES MANY POLITICIANS
AND THE MEDIA KEEP PLACING THE DISHONEST ‘YOU’RE A BIGOT’
LABEL ON RELIGIONS THAT OPPOSE REDEFINITION
 With
such a misleading label, many young people will
leave the religious traditions they were raised in – they
don’t want to be labelled a bigot by their peers
 In countries where redefinition has taken place teenagers
of faith who try to express their disagreement with samesex marriages in the classroom are often criticized
heavily, accused of bigotry and some have been sent home
from from school.
 Children raised in faith families have to be silent or give up
on their beliefs.

7. IN A SOCIETY WHERE THE STATE HAS REDEFINED MARRIAGE –
RELIGIONS GO INTO DECAY – IT JUST HAPPENS
Religions will have to decide what stance they take in a
marriage redefined society:
 Do they continue their fight against the law change and die
because they are dishonestly branded as bigots
 Or do they agree with the state, watch the heterosexualmarital family go into decline – and watch church attendance
decline because the main attendees are typically married
heterosexuals with children
 The law change brings about the death to religion either way.
 With religions decaying the heterosexual, marital-family
values that religions teach also start to become ever more
7
distant from people’s lives


8. ONCE THE STATE HAS PUT RELIGION ON THE PATH TO DECAY - WHO
WILL BE THERE TO PROMOTE THE VALUES OF THE HETEROSEXUAL
MARITAL-FAMILY – THE ONLY FORM OF MARITAL-FAMILY THAT CAN
SUSTAIN THE HUMAN RACE OVER GENERATIONS?
The state? It can’t.
 If the state suddenly wakes up one day to realise the enormous
social and financial costs of letting the heterosexual maritalfamily decay, in a marriage redefined world the state is no
longer free to just support the heterosexual, marital-family
norm in order to bring about better social outcomes .
 To do so would be seen to be bigoted against same-sex and
group marriages. It would have to promote all forms of
marriage – even forms of marriage that have poor outcomes
for children.
8
 Its hands will be tied – society locked into social decay


9. WESTERN DEMOCRACIES ARE FOUNDED ON JUDAIC AND
CHRISTIAN VALUES. THE INDIVIDUAL VALUE OF EACH PERSON, THE
10 COMMANDMENTS, AND MANY OTHER VALUES HAVE PLAYED
THEIR ROLE IN CREATING THE LAWS THAT GOVERN OUR SOCIETY
 So,
as religion declines, who ultimately becomes the new
creator of social morality – defining what might be
acceptable and unacceptable behaviour? Who defines
Right and Wrong?
 Without religion, it becomes the state – or more
truthfully - various key supporters in government with
their own social agendas to pursue.
 And when the state starts forming morality then the
potential for abuse is immense. It is the basis for the
start of totalitarianism, nations where people live in fear.
9

10. IN SOCIETIES WHERE RELIGIONS DECAY AND POLITICIANS START
TO CREATE A NEW MORALITY THEN FEAR OF GETTING ON THE
WRONG SIDE OF THOSE IN POWER STARTS TO DOMINATE.
This is exactly what has happened in countries where
marriage has been redefined. Morality became twisted.
 Good, decent people who have really valid concerns about
the future well-being of children are called evil-minded bigots
– are even fined and locked up - and people who create ever
poorer outcomes for future generations of children are called
fair-minded progressives who care about the world, and are
given positions where they can do even more harm.
 What society sees as right and wrong was changed through
political means.
 A government who can jail or fine you has the power.
10
 And people live in fear of being proclaimed a bigot


11. IN REDEFINING MARRIAGE THE POLITICAL SYSTEM CUTS ITSELF OFF
FROM ITS RELIGIOUS ROOTS AND FROM THE TIMELESS PRINCIPLES
THAT FORM THE BASIS FOR DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT
With religions being seen as bigoted, they go into decay, and the
state starts to form it’s own values based on the political flavour
of the day.
 We have no idea where this will end up – but from the start we
see totalitarianism in the making. Even from the start we see:

Parents loosing their right to educate their children as they see fit
 People being fined and locked up for expressing their opinions based
on timeless, healthy principles that align with Mother Nature’s ways
 The state being willing to destroy the family building possibilities and
the true sexual nature of millions of future children

And all so that some 2% of the population can feel
better about themselves.

12. PUT SIMPLY, WHEN THE STATE SEEKS TO MAINTAIN THE LIE THAT
MARRIAGE IS SOLELY ABOUT ADULTS’ RIGHTS AND NOT ABOUT
THE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN TO THE BEST START IN LIFE






The heterosexual marital-family becomes destroyed
This leads to ever more children suffering poorer outcomes and
society showing ever higher levels of social distress
This leads to society going bankrupt and ALL people suffering
financial hardships
The state has to destroy religion - the protector and supporter of the
heterosexual marital family – because religion keeps reminding the
state it is telling society a lie
And finally, in order to keep the lie in place, democratic government
slowly but surely turns into a totalitarian one – a society where fear
dominates to make sure the lie isn’t exposed
And ALL because the state doesn’t encourage some 2% of the
12
population to come up with a different name to call their unions
