In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Now 74 years later, we try to define what marriage is. The image of a young couple, sitting in a horse carriage, being swept up in the holiday spirit, perhaps hanging on extra tight to their special loved one, thinking about marriage is supposed to be one that society encourages.
When Rick Warren hears this holiday song lyric, what image does he have?
The last thing Warren is likely thinking about two men, or two women, deeply in love, because he thinks gay marriage is wrong
Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson would likely concur.
But Warren is more dangerous: he comes across as not-so-bad. He's not like that weird Falwell or Robertson. He seems normal.
Is there a religious reason behind this? Even the most conservative religious figures can't pull up Biblical interpretations to justify this stand
