Same-sex marriage will cause far more damage to Iowa than last year’s historic flooding, according to Eric Schumacher, pastor of Northbrook Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids.

Schumacher, in a column written for the Baptist Press, said that even though floods destroy houses, ruin offices buildings and displace families, recovery is still possible. Same-sex marriage, on the other hand, “does far more pervasive and irrecoverable damage.” Eventually, civilization is eroded and a “blasphemous message” becomes the norm.

Floodwaters erode the soil. “Gay marriage” erodes the soul. A flood impacts for a decade. “Same-sex marriage” destroys generations. A flood draws a community together. “Homosexual marriage” tears the family apart. Communities recover from floods. The promotion of un-natural unions has an eternal consequence.
