Are Kirk Cameron’s Views on Gay Marriage Experiencing Growing Pains?

Former teen heartthrob, Kirk Cameron, has made a name for himself in the past few years as a mouthpiece for the religious right who vehemently stood against same-sex marriage, once saying it was "detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization." But as the Daily Beast reports, Cameron’s views may be evolving.


The former actor gave an interview earlier this month with Alabama-based newspaper AL.com and refused to condemn same-sex marriage, saying Christians should look within instead of blaming others for the "decay" of traditional values.


"I think the greatest threat to marriage is not other people’s definition of marriage," he said. "The church isn’t taking God’s definition of marriage seriously. It’s not other people sabotaging marriage that’s the problem."


"When people get too focused on redefining marriage, you’re distracted from the bigger problem-fornicators and adulterers..." he told the newspaper. "If the people sitting in the pews are fornicators and adulterers, the church will destroy marriages much more quickly than those outside the church. When God’s people mock marriage, God doesn’t take that lightly." Full interesting article here via Edge!
