Of Mac and Marriage

I was thinking about an analogy for the debate regarding the definition of marriage.  It goes like this:

Imagine Steve Job's invention of the Macintosh computer.  It's a different baby than Windows in more ways than I understand.  Suffice it to say that the Mac is not a Windows, although it can function in much the same way.

Now imagine with me the reality that God invented marriage and declared it to be a union between a man and a woman.  This is clearly defined in his holy Word.  Now fast forward to this generation and the desire to change the definition of God's creation.  It's like calling a Mac a Windows.  Call it what you will, it is not the same thing!  Steve Jobs might just turn over in his grave!  Out of respect for him and due to the legal rights of his company, this redefinition would not be possible.  In like manner, try as we might, it is not possible to redefine marriage since we didn't make it up to begin with.  This will only lead to more confusion in this already mixed-up world of ours.  Apples are apples, after all.
