Your local Wal-Mart has now officially thrown its lot in with perversion.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday, January 26, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the world’s largest retailer, disclosed that it has revised its policy to redefine the term “immediate family” so that it includes an employee’s same-sex partner.
“We are encouraged by this sign showing America’s heartland employer understands same-sex couples share the responsibilities that come with being a family,” said Daryl Herrschaft, deputy director of Human Rights Campaign’s WorkNet program.
Whereas Americans overwhelmingly have rejected same sex “marriages” in any state in the union, Wal-Mart’s filing reveals that it is eager to fan the flames for the nationwide establishment of the next “best thing”: sodomite civil unions.
A “civil union” is quickly becoming what legal marriage already is – without it being labeled a marriage. In other words, it is becoming marriage by another name.
This is the next great political battle that is emerging in America, and Wal-Mart, which has already done enough damage to the American landscape by knocking out nearly every mom-and-pop-shop in Anytown, USA, is setting an example for all other multinational corporations to follow.
This battle in all probability will be won by the lavender lobby thanks to endorsements by the Democratic Party leadership and much of the Republican establishment, including President George W. Bush himself. Both of those parties have failed to prevent the mad stampede toward civil unions. (Thankfully for Christian voters betrayed by the Republican Party, which does not oppose civil unions, the Constitution Party is the only viable national party that takes an unabashed firm opposition to “any legal recognition of homosexual unions.”
Wal-Mart’s redefining of its “immediate family” policy is a rebellious shaking of the fist in the face of God. It is a haughty proclamation that declares, “We know better than you, God, what a family should or shouldn’t be.”
The marriage covenant is the foundation of the family, regardless of whether any government or organization passes a “family law” or “family policy” defining – or redefining – it. A homosexual civil union can never be the foundation for a family because God has forbidden any man to lie with another man (Lev. 18:22); therefore, God does not recognize any such union to be the foundation for any family whatsoever.
God has already defined what “family” is. Trying to redefine an already defined term is to change its meaning altogether. It’s like trying to define a circle as a shape with four corners and four equal sides. You can still call that square a “circle”, but it still doesn’t change the fact that a square is a square is a square.
The intent of this article is not to advocate a boycott of Wal-Mart, but the next time you have a choice to buy a pack of light bulbs or laundry detergent for a few cents more by shopping at an alternative store, preferably a family owned business that honors God and Biblical principles, don’t think twice.
Support your local mom-and-pop.
