Kirk Cameron does not think. He reacts. He's been given his script, and he's following his lines to the letter. He'll refine the delivery a bit, work out the blocking, maybe shift a few things around, but in the end, he's not going to deviate much from the script until his director tells him, "Hey, this ain't working. Let's do it this way."
There's something extraordinarily creepy in all of this: Cameron is choosing to be stupid. He fails to note that Mike Warnke and Richard Roberts both divorced, (Warnke multiple times), yet can't seem to connect this reality with how it destroys marriage. I'd go so far as to say that it's even more destructive to marriage than Gay and Lesbian marriage, simply because the one group universally permitted to marry, Straight people, are breaking the very vows they made. Hell, does anyone really think that Mark Sanford's affair which ended his marriage to his wife, Jenny, really benefited any "defense of marriage"? James Carville did more to defend marriage than Sanford ever did. (And he's one of them there eeeeeeevil Democrats!)
Why anyone is giving any credence to anything this man says is beyond me. He's a stump, and intellectual stump. He has little, if anything, to offer, save some notoriety from ages ago. Frankly, he doesn't even have enough sense to look at the record of child actors who actually contributed something once they left Hollywood, and to follow their lead. People like Charlie Korsmo and Shirley Temple Black are actually contributing something to society and to the National dialogue. Cameron doesn't even have the sense to listen.
And he wants us to believe that Gays and Lesbians marrying -- the horror! Same Sex Marriage! -- will destroy America.
Just a thought: A few things that stand a better chance of doing that...
1.) An invasion of illegal aliens from Alpha Centauri.
2.) Huge meteors.
3.) Joe Biden, in the middle of sensitive political negotiations with another nuclear armed nation, choosing to pick his nose.
4.) Newt Gingrich.
5.) Volcanoes erupting along the Pacific Coast.
6.) Newt Gingrich.
7.) John Ashcroft being elected or appointed to any office.
8.) Did I mention Newt Gingrich?
And so on.
Joking aside, Kirk Cameron needs to actually READ his Bible for once. Then he needs to start asking all those hard questions that Josh McDowell seems to want people to avoid, usually by providing forced choices for them. He might want to spend a little time among the rest of us, instead of insulating himself from those who would challenge his preconceived notions of what we're supposed to be.
Kirk Cameron needs to grow up.
