"Studies show" is a favorite defense of those who don't want to think

I enjoy Dennis Prager's wit and logic and heart. In his latest column he uses simple logic to debunk the statements that same sex marriages raise children as well as a father and mother.

While I applaud the column, it is sobering to realize that we feel compelled into logical, human-level arguments about marriage. We're defending the Bible. A pastor friend has a sign in his office, "Don't Defend the Gospel, Preach It!" C.S. Lewis wrote that defending the Bible is like defending a caged lion. Let the lion out of the cage, and he can defend himself quite well, thank you.

"The world is unprincipled. It's dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way--never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity." (2 Cor 10:3-6, The Message)
