“It is inspiring to hear my friend, Mr. Russell, speak such inspiring words. It is interesting that the book from which he kept quoting is the best-seller book of all time and also happens to be the most quoted book in U.S. history here in both the House and the Senate. There was a time when most legislators felt it was helpful in getting legislation passed if they had a verse of Scripture from the Bible that supported their position. Then we arrive at the point today where, if someone in Congress makes the statement in quoting Jesus Himself when He discussed marriage and divorce and was asked about it, that He, God, made male and female. Haven't you read? Don't you understand He created male and female? So you would have to believe, if you supported the agenda that was exhibited today, that Jesus didn't know what He was talking about because God not only created male and female, He created a lot of question marks, like the cartoon that somebody did of a doctor holding a newborn and the mother asks, ``What did I have?'' and the doctor says, ``The baby hasn't decided yet.'' We have come so far. We thought we had advanced so far. Yet, as Solomon said: ``There is nothing new under the sun.'' I know Justice Ginsburg was talking about same-sex marriage when she said: Well, we just know so much more now than we used to know. In some ways--but in the nature of human nature, things haven't changed.…”
