After the state of California banned same sex marriage, the proponents of Prop. 8 now wnats same sex marriages be nullified. So the bigots now want religion to dictate what rights a human being can exercise. They claim that same sex marriage the foundations of what a family consitutes. Ah yes, there is no mention of gays and lesbians being created by God. I forgot that God created only man and woman. But does anyone know what God’s sex is? Last I heard that he created us in His image. Then I suppose He can either be a woman or a man. And if this is the case, He could be gay or a lesbian as well.
Ok, this post is not supposed question what God is. It’s about how narrow-minded, pea-brained some cults can be. I call them cults because they interpret the Holy Bible literally. Just like how “Go forth and multiply” to these fanatics mean that they can marry as many wives as they want. Just imagine how their children must feel, confused that they have so many mothers and so many siblings as well. Would polygamy mean that theirs is a NORMAL family? It’s stupid isn’t it?
Times are changing and whether we like it or not, gays and lesbians are humans too, with right to decide for themselves how to run their lives. Who are we to say that they will not be good parents? We’ve witnessed how men of the faith rape young boys and father children out of wedlock. We’ve seen how pastors steal the money of heir churches. I know of several orphans adopted and raised by these so-call abominations of society and they have been raised very well. They’re normal heterosexuals with happy, normal families.
Now isn’t it pure bigotry to discriminate or take away the rights of others because they don’t share the same lifestyles we have? Or have we forgotten that we are judged by the Lord based on how we lived our lives? I think this issue has to do more with ego than a moral one. Just imagine how a man would feel if he is outdone by a lesbian or a woman who loses her husband to a gay. Hahahaha! It sure looks more like this to me than calling it a sin.
Never judge lest you be judged. We cannot dictate upon others what they should be nor could we tell them that they cannot be good parents. If you’re not secured with your sexuality then please deal with it yourself and not put the blame of society’s decay on some man or woman who chose to be different.

I’ve never understood why certain things that are strictly forbidden in the Bible, such as divorce, are now acceptable yet they still cling to their hatred of homosexuals.

A passionate and interesting blog, this.
I wonder just how shocked you would be if you lived where I live, in Zimbabwe. The human rights violations here are just shocking. They are currently detaining a two year old child with its mother.
Lawyers report that the child has been beaten in front of its mother to get her to confess to recruiting “terrorists” to overthrow Mugabe.
Anyway, interesting thoughts here and all the best in the USA

Human Rights are being violated every minute of everyday in every country in the world, it’s ignorance. Human Rights can only be restored one person at a time. Changes don’t have to come from leaders, it comes from the common folks.

I’ve always wondered why the state even recognizes marriage? It’s a religious institution. If catholics don’t want gays to marry in their “club” then so be it.
The state has no right to define what a marriage is, nor should it care. The purpose of governments isn’t to define religious institutions, it’s to safeguard the people.
I wish we’d move to a system that only recognizes marriage as a domestic contract between two citizens, and defines what that contract entails in order to define what tax benefits, rights and whatever else is needed from a business standpoint for that domestic situation.
Isn’t this like the state regulating who can pray or who can baptize?

Sounds like the people of Zimbabwe need to buck up and take the reins of their country like our ancestors did when the british practicing this kind of tyranny in the 1700′s.
