[Azureknight 773]

Greetings all of you, peace and love be in Christ our Lord.

It brings me glad tidings that several of my country men and women are going straight up to protest against this SSM.

If this is unwanted here, may it be moved to a different sub forum.

God bless the brave and faithful people of your country

thank you for sharing this

 

[frenchdefense]

Have fun

 

[AvilaSurfer]

Good. It's good to see any people or organization opposing SSM in spite of the recent decision. Now it not the time to roll over and play dead.

 

[Tallguy88]

Good that they are ptotesting

 

[kiwimac]

Shame on you.

 

[Rhamiel]

Shame on you.

who are you casting shame on?

 

[Tallguy88]

Who? Any why?

 

[LivingWordUnity]

Big money is behind the global push for so-called "same-sex marriage" which includes super-billionaires, the mainstream media, and nearly every major corporation. So it is like David going up against Goliath. But we must continue resisting it anyway.

Of course. It's all a big librul conspiracy.

 

[Rhamiel]

Why?

because it is good that they seek to keep the laws of their country in line with the laws of God

Ah. Because theocracy has such a good track record.

I assume they'll be making the charging of interest illegal any day now.

A Government must be religiously neutral. It should make laws that enable ALL of it's people to live lives of empowerment not favouring some religious or political groups.

Amen.

Thank you all for the positive response. It is also enforced by my country's president himself and the Palace (albeit, I really hate him for his vindicative nature and some of his policies):

This at least makes me say that he is good for not letting it happen.

By law, this itself is illegal and unconstitutional for in my country, a President herself spoke:

"
EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 209

THE FAMILY CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES July 6, 1987


I, CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby order and promulgate the Family Code of the Philippines, as follows:

TITLE IMARRIAGE

Chapter 1. Requisites of Marriage

Article 1. Marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life. It is the foundation of the family and an inviolable social institution whose nature, consequences, and incidents are governed by law and not subject to stipulation, except that marriage settlements may fix the property relations during the marriage within the limits provided by this Code.(52a)
"

Big money is behind the global push for so-called "same-sex marriage" which includes super-billionaires, the mainstream media, and nearly every major corporation. So it is like David going up against Goliath. But we must continue resisting it anyway.

A local priest of mine in my diocese said these words (paraphrased) "It is indeed good to have a lot of money yet do not make it your own god for your own desire of it will consume and blind you in your path". I agree with him a lot.

A Government must be religiously neutral.

must it be?

how about we let the people of the Philippines decide for themselves what kind of government they want?
I think it is lovely that they are standing up for Christian values

Muslim values too. This is, after all, the Philippines.

 

[Rhamiel]

true, this no gay marriage is a bit of commonality we can find with Muslims
and observant Jews (not really a factor in he Philippines)

Yes, it must otherwise the Dark Ages are just around the corner again. We should have learned from the last time Governments were part of the national religious structure of a nation just what that leads to.
