A VALUE-LESS SOCIETY - SOON TO FALL

I got this from a FB friend who is valiant in her testimony.  Truly an elect lady.

One of the planks put down by the communists when it was east vs west was to destroy the religious value set of the people.  This whole gay thing really does the trick doesn't it.

You, like I, have likely heard people scornfully asking how "gay marriage" (an oxymoron, see the 1828 definition of marriage, which I endorse, to see why)
is going to bring the destruction of society. Here are four reasons why "a society which permits anything will eventually lose everything!" (Neal A. Maxwell)
One- the recent related court rulings show that the government has gone from being a referee, to a participant, to a self-declared majority. This does not bode well.
Two- it undermines the most basic institution of society, the family. The only way two homosexuals can have children is through the miracles of science or through the misfortune of others, leading to adoption options. Homosexuality is a predatory thing. G. K. Chesterton observed that only people to whom the family is sacred will ever have a standard by which to criticize the State, because “they alone can appeal to something more holy than the gods of the city.” (Everlasting Man, Image Books, 1955, p. 143.)
Three- God, absolute truths, eventual accountability to Him, and natural consequences all exist. “Without the Faith, one is free, and that is a pleasant feeling at first. There are no questions of conscience, no constraints. … It is only later that the terror comes. One is free—but free in chaos, in an unexplained and unexplainable world. One is free in a desert, from which there is no retreat but inward, toward the hollow core of oneself.” (Morris West, The Devil’s Advocate, New York: William Morrow Co., 1959.)
Four- it is the ultimate in an attempt at value-free living, which ends in societal self-destruction:
“When men cease to aspire to the ideal, the good, to self-restraint—whether in their hearts or in their lives—they do not just stand still, but actually turn the other way, finding self-fulfillment in self-indulgence, and in … those three ultimate expressions of the totally self-centered life: sex, violence, and insanity.” (Christopher Booker, 'Trousered Apes', pp. 14–15.)
"Value-free experimentation is extremely costly—both in terms of money and of souls, and it creates what has been called the worst slum of all—the slum of the human spirit, for many students and citizens are starved for earned self-esteem. A standardless society will also find itself deaf to the costly lessons of history. Winston Churchill chose as a stern warning motto for his concluding volume of the history of World War II these words: “How the Great Democracies Triumphed, and so Were able to Resume the Follies Which Had so Nearly Cost Them Their Life.” (Triumph and Tragedy, Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1953.) A value-free society focuses upon things like “me” and “now”—it has little sense of history out of which to fashion the future. If nothing lies ahead of men, how vital is memory? A healthy regard for the past is usually accompanied by a healthy regard for the future; and a lack of one usually means the lack of the other.
"But how can a society set priorities if there are no basic standards? Are we to make our calculations using only the arithmetic of appetite?
"A society not based upon key values like loving our neighbor will inevitably subsidize selfishness and will place a premium upon an apostate form of individualism at the expense of community." (Neal A. Maxwell, 'The Prohibitive Costs of a Value-Free Society)
