Once there was a nation that turned away from the living God, and so the living God turned them over to their vain imaginations, so that their foolish hearts were darkened.
One of the states in that nation — let us call it Massachusetts –decided through its judicial system that our system of public life was riddled with inequities, and all they could see, as far as they could look in every direction, was injustice. This was a trouble, for that nation had a system of government which called upon every state to acknowledge and receive what the other states did. This arrangement worked well for many years, until the day that God decided to visit His judgment upon the entire nation.
The high court of this particular state decided one day that water was far too wet, and that dust was inexcusably left out. They repealed the laws of centrifugal force and gravity, as well as the law of supply and demand. The meadowlark was required to caw like a crow, and the crow was required to use a knife and fork at all future meals. The crowning folly was that the court said that men could marry men, and that women could marry women.
Some Christians were confused by this, and tried their best to treat the water as though it actually were dry, and they began training their dogs to moo and meow. After all, they reasoned, we must obey Romans 13. This is what the Lord has required of us. And so they too were swept up in the judgment of God.
But others saw that the blindness was a judicial blindness, inflicted by God as a judgment. And so they prayed to God for mercy, and added a new question to the catechism that their children were required to learn. The question ran like this:
Q. How many legs does a dog have if we call the tail a leg?
A. Four. Here is wisdom.
