Morality isn't determined by how you feel

In a recent Gazette propaganda story (“Many say personal ties can change attitudes toward same-sex marriage,” May 13), President Obama claimed his two daughters were influential in his recent public support for same-sex marriage because they had friends at school with two mothers or two fathers. The president felt it was just the fair thing to do. Really? Since when is morality determined by how you feel? What if you feel differently tomorrow?

Jim Klosterboer, a Lutheran pastor from Elkader, is also cited in this same story as having changed his mind on the issue saying, “… I need to relook what Scripture says.” Perhaps he looked in the corrupt New International Version of the Bible, which removes the words “sodomy” and “sodomites.”

True morality is not about how you feel, it's about what God says! Don't let anyone tell you different. Morality and our civil rights that emanate from it are not determined by how many “nice” people you know who practice sodomy. It's about what is right because the Creator says so.

Even though the media, including this paper, is in a mad rush to legitimize sodomy, God's standards on this issue have never changed.
