eHarmony Capitulates

Sad news reported by Ecclesiophilist: eHarmony to Launch Same Sex Dating Site

eHarmony to Launch Same Sex Dating Site

Reuters reports that the online dating site eHarmony will soon launch a new same-sex dating site as a result of a legal settlement. eHarmony was started by evangelical psychologist Neil Clark Warren. One can only imagine that this is the first of many such legal actions to be brought against companies that began with evangelical values.

It is disappointing that eHarmony took this action. I don't know any of the details of the legal settlement. However, it is sad to see a company begun by a high-profile evangelical pressured into taking an action which is diametrically opposed to long-standing biblical convictions which have characterized evangelicalism. I can only imagine the sadness Dr. Warren must feel over this outcome.

I am not certain who makes all the decisions at eHarmony. I don't know how much Dr. Warren is involved in the corporate decision making process. I don't want to come down too hard on him without knowing the details. Yet, personally, I think it would have been a victory if eHarmony just shut down rather than cave to the cultural pressure from the same-sex lobby.
The enemies of the family will never stop. But the real enemy is not the people who filed the lawsuit or the decision makers at eHarmony. The real enemy is the ultimate deceiver and liar and his minions.

Time to pray - big time.
