Religious freedoms attacked; our children the victims

http://www.onenewsnow.com/Journal/commentary.aspx?id=215784

While there are numerous reasons to support marriage between a man and a woman, many people still believe that it is a decision that denies gay rights. They also believe that if gay marriage is continued to be allowed in California, it will not affect them or their children. They believe that it should be the job of the parents to teach their children whether or not homosexuality is morally acceptable. They are correct in one aspect: it is in the home where children should be taught morals and values. Parents are allowed to teach their children that homosexuality is not acceptable in the eyes of God. So what happens when the schools are mandated to teach that homosexuality is acceptable and we must believe that it is the same as marriage between a man and a woman? How do you explain that to your 5-year-old? "Well, your teacher is a liar?" Children are very impressionable at a very young age. This will change society. It is not, as some would have us believe, "denying the rights of two loving people to join together." It is protecting our rights to believe how we wish.
This article has listed some of the cases where religious freedoms have already been lost and the possibility of more losses to come. It is well-written and has points presented articulately. Please read it and think seriously about what it indicates could and will happen to our country if we don't fight for Prop 8 right now.
