There is no other religion that I'm aware of that condones homosexuality. It took apostate Christianity to do that.

Could you name some of those apostate denominations. One for sure are the Lutherans, which most of my family attend. That explains why they see me as a radical believer. :laugh:

Well, that would just apply to ELCA, not Lutheran-Missouri Synod.

Others: Presbyterian Church USA, The Episcopal Church, Alliance of Baptists, United Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ. In the latter two, some individuals and congregations would disagree. That might also be true in the first two, but overall PCUSA and TEC are far gone.

Good video.

If there is nothing new under the sun, can we assume that marriage has been challenged like this before? And perhaps in some culture, there was same sex "marriage" ?

It doesn't really matter, IMHO, whether or not some cultures recognized such as "marriage." But in recent history, we are merely following suit. That said, redefining the term "marriage" does not redefine what marriage really is. As Wright points out, deciding to call something black that is really white does not change reality. Redefining terms, however, can place society in a very precarious state of being. There is no such thing as "same sex marriage" because marriage is more than the civil union/contractual agreement that supporters of the change take marriage to be. Calling it a marriage does not make it so, but it redefines a term that had a depth of meaning in such a way as to lose its meaning. It is a shift away from reality, and I believe a giant leap towards a state of antitheism as a nation.
