Last week, the California State Supreme court issued a landmark decision. In a close 4-3 decision, they single-handedly overthrew the will of the California public by declaring that same sex marriage is legal and protected by the California Constitution. Californian voters have twice passed propositions protecting marriage between a man and a woman. On June 15th, same sex will be legal in the Golden State and there is little we can do about it. As history has shown, once a right is given, rarely is it ever repealed.
I could not disagree more with this decision to destroy the sanctity of marriage but I am not surprised. We live in a post-Christian era where the concept of an Absolute law is no longer present. In its place, the view of Secular Humanism is the dominant view in most classrooms, boardrooms, and courtrooms. It is this world view that enables individuals to arbitrarily decide between right and wrong. Leaving man as the measure of all things, secular humanism is the reason why gay marriage, partial birth abortion, socialism, tyranny, and embryonic stem cell research is allowed. If man is the measure of all things, then anything goes.
