Comment: The homosexual agenda in its unrelenting push for so called 'marriage equality ' i.e. redefinition marriage radically claims liberty and equality are its goals. This is not neutral. It is a radical understanding of equality ie. the moral equivalence of heterosexuality and homosexuality. It is not a zero sum game, as this article indicates, as it threatens to violate the rights of others.

Teachers 'face sack' for refusing to endorse gay marriage, The Telegraph, UK 10 Sept 2012

Teachers who refuse to endorse gay marriage in the classroom could face the sack under controversial Government reforms, a legal expert has warned.

Teachers could be sacked for refusing to follow books on gay marriage, according to legal advice commissioned by the Coalition for Marriage.

Schools will be within their statutory rights to dismiss staff that wilfully fail to use stories or textbooks promoting same-sex weddings, it is claimed.

Aidan O’Neill, a senior QC and expert on religious freedom and human rights, also warned that parents who object to gay marriage being taught to their children will have no right to withdraw their child from lessons.

In a report, he said that any decision to redefine marriage would have far-reaching consequences for schools, hospitals, foster carers and public buildings.

The most serious impact is likely to be felt in the church where vicars and priests conducting religious marriage ceremonies could be taken to court for refusing to carry out a gay wedding, he said.

The conclusions – in legal advice commissioned by the Coalition for Marriage – comes amid continuing fall-out over Government plans to tear up the centuries-old law on marriage.

Ministers launched a consultation on proposals to legalise homosexual weddings earlier this year. David Cameron has said he is committed to pushing through the change by 2015.

The plan is being backed by the Liberal Democrats and many senior Conservatives, although it has prompted a backlash among some backbenchers and Christian groups.

Last month, the Roman Catholic Church had a letter read in all 500 Catholic parishes in Scotland urging churchgoers to oppose attempts to “redefine” marriage north of the border.

Sharon James, a Coalition for Marriage spokeswoman, said the proposed law change would have a serious effect on schools, representing an “unprecedented assault on the rights of parents”.

“This is a dangerous path to go down and one that should be resisted,” she said.

The redefinition of marriage would ride roughshod over a person’s right to support marriage as the exclusive union between one man and one woman, whether that person be a teacher, a parent, a foster carer or a marriage registrar. The only winners from a change in marriage law will be lawyers.”

Mr O’Neill – based at Matrix Chambers – has analysed the effect that any change in the legal basis of marriage would have on a series of public institutions.

He outlined a fictional scenario in which a Christian teacher is asked to use a book called King & King, a story of a prince who marries a man, and produce a play based on the tale.

The QC suggested that any refusal to comply would be “grounds for her dismissal from employment” because of a legal ruling that religious belief cannot be used by employees “to demand changes in their conditions of their employment”.

Mr O’Neill also warned that parents who object to gay marriage being taught would have no right to withdraw their child from lessons for religious conscience reasons.

“If gay marriage is introduced, the school would be in its own legal right to refuse the wishes of the child’s parents, arguing it is under a legal obligation of its own to promote equality - whatever the cost,” he said.

In the report, he also claimed that Government promises to protect churches and other faiths who object to gay marriage would be meaningless.

Mr O’Neill insisted that vicars or priests would be powerless to stop same-sex couples demanding the same weddings as hetrosexuals under the European Convention on Human Rights.

Churches would be in a stronger legal position if they were to stop conducting weddings altogether – bring to an end more than a thousand years of tradition, he suggested.

“Churches might indeed better protect themselves against the possibility of any such litigation by deciding not to provide marriage services at all, since there could be no complaint then of discrimination in their provision of services as between same sex and opposite sex couples,” he said.

Proverbs 5

New Living Translation (NLT)

Avoid Immoral Women

5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
 listen carefully to my wise counsel.
2 Then you will show discernment,
and your lips will express what you’ve learned.
3 For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey,
and her mouth is smoother than oil.
4 But in the end she is as bitter as poison,
as dangerous as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.[a]
6 For she cares nothing about the path to life.
She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it.

7 So now, my sons, listen to me.
Never stray from what I am about to say:
8 Stay away from her!
Don’t go near the door of her house!
9 If you do, you will lose your honor
and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.
10 Strangers will consume your wealth,
and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
11 In the end you will groan in anguish
when disease consumes your body.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
13 Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers?
Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?
14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin,
and now I must face public disgrace.”

15 Drink water from your own well—
share your love only with your wife.[b]
16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,
having sex with just anyone?[c]
17 You should reserve it for yourselves.
Never share it with strangers.

Without clear moral leadership, the fences fall and morality becomes a matter of subjective preference and consent, where hedonism, fuelled by human will and desire, is the ultimate justification for conduct, absent objective standards.

Judges 21:25

Inappropriate relationships occur when the ancient boundary lines are scorned.

Wild boars have been sighted in Singapore! A Today news report said that a boar was sighted in June at Bishan Park. It apparently was not a friendly boar, and acting boorishly, charged at a CISCO office and a child. Some reports said it was two wild boars. The government intends to bore deep into the problem and plans to "manage" (read: cull) these boars which apparently "roam freely in Pualu Tekong and the fringes of Jurong", that is, usually on the offshore isles, and Lower Pierce Reservoir.

Wild boar sighted in Bishan Park, Today June 22, 2012

Singapore has a wild boar problem: Khaw, Yahoo News, 22 June 2012

A researcher at a leading Singapore university said that "their distribution is more extensive than expected.One of the hypotheses is that they have been swimming over from Johor Bahru, or Pulau Tekong and Pulau Ubin. Those are very likely sources of the wild boar migration Also, right now wild boars, we can see them at the West Coast, East Coast, at Pasir Ris, Changi and the Jurong area and also in the north. So it's very likely they are coming from the northern islands and Malaysia.."

Wild boars spotted at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, CNA 22 June 2012

Packs of wild boar have been reported as roaming around the countryside - the marauding hordes!

Wild_boar_and_obleix

There is one mention of the wild boar in the Bible, found in Psalm 80:12-13. It has to do with broken walls, lowered fences, and susceptibility to attack from invaders, stealing and loss of fruits

 Why have you broken down its walls 
    so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
 Boars from the forest ravage it,
    and insects from the fields feed on it.

Boars and spoilt grapes - ponder.
