“Feminists have made cheap points off of this reality by describing marriage a glorified prostitution. Actually, the comparison runs the other way—prostitution is a gross parody of marriage” (Same Sex Mirage, p. 63).
Out of Their Reach
“Marriage exists prior to, and independent of, any determinations by any civil magistrate. The magistrate did not create marriage and, therefore, has no authority to define it or recreate it in his own image” (Same Sex Mirage, pp. 61-62).
Common Grace in Odd Corners
“An important part of general revelation is the capacity for getting the creeps” (Same Sex Mirage, p. 48).
The Nature of Nature is Basic
“If we [define] nature as that which is identified by a wise act of naming, then I think it is safe to say that nature is fundamental” (Same Sex Mirage, p. 47).
Knowing is not the Same as Liking
“So then, we don’t know everything through nature. We don’t know the plan of salvation through nature. But we do know the need for salvation through nature. That knowledge is unsettling, and so we stuff it” (Same Sex Mirage, p. 41).
For That Does Not Follow
“We ought not conclude anything about the clarity of the lesson from the obtuseness of the students” (Same Sex Mirage, p. 38).
What Marriage Is
“You cannot have a marriage without old-school heterosexual copulation, and you cannot have a marriage without a covenant. Nevertheless, you can have a covenant without a marriage, and you can have sexual intercourse without a marriage” (Same Sex Mirage, p. 33).
Not Every Slope is Slippery, but Slippery Slopes Are
“If we keep gay pride, we are going to get a lot more than gay pride . . . We cannot pitch our tents toward Sodom without eventually winding up in a townhouse there” (Same Sex Mirage, p. 28).
Sexual Anarchism
“In other words, their enemy is not heteronormativity, their final enemy is civilization itself. Civilization requires norms, and Christian civilization requires heterosexual monogamous norms. What we are up against is simply anarchism” (Same Sex Mirage, p. 26).
A Hateful Superiority
“As soon as he said oh, wretched man that I am, he would be rejected as one of those people who think they’re better than everybody else” (Same Sex Mirage, p. 22).
