So I know that I have an open mind, and I know that sometimes it pisses a lot of people off, but what I don't get is those that are stuck so far inside of what they think is the "Godly" or right thing that they don't see the truth plain as the day on their faces! They're judging people. Something, per the bible they don't have the right to do! They're saying you can't do this, you can't do that, you'll have your judgment on judgment day. That's fine, but don't rub it in their faces that they're the minority, don't deny them any rights that you yourself enjoy, let them make their own choices as God has said every "man" that is created has that choice. The choice to make their own decisions and actions in their life. Step out of your close minded religions and look at the world. Really look at it. Man kind has always had the choice in what that person does or does not do in their life. Some say that we have a destiny pre-ordained in our life, but ultimately the choices that we make alter that destiny on a moment by moment basis. God has not said that if you're straight you'll go to heaven, if you're gay you'll go to hell. God has stated repeatedly that He loves each and every one of His children regardless of what they've done in their lives. He forgives murderers and rapists. Us as a society shun these people (I know I do), and those that are in the majority of religious aspects also spout that God forgives them, and they aren't judging them. It's those that cannot accept the fact that we are human, and therefore fallible and DO judge people that give the religious factions a bad name. I am not speaking just of Christians, there are also many other religions in the world that also spout don't judge, they say they don't, but at a glance, at a learned misdeed, the judgment is immediate and takes a lifetime to change. That is human nature. As we work on ourselves we can work on this, but usually in the zealousness of the "Godly" mindset a lot of judgment is passed and never is the responsibility assumed that they passed this judgment on their fellow man as God has decreed them not to!
I know that I have had a few things in my life go wrong, I've not made the best choices in the world, I know I've judged people, and everyday I try to not do that. I try, but I'm not perfect, so I still do some judging and I try to make atonement for me when I can. Let us truly live in our society as all men are created equal. Wouldn't that be nice? That we actually live by what we profess is what the backbone of our civilization and as our country. Why do we have to beat a section of our society down into the ground and then go "oh look, I've mistreated you, here let me lend you a hand up and stab you in the back as I do it?" We've done it countless times in our history as America. Now we're doing it to another section of our community. Our Gay Community! We're saying "yeah you have the same rights as us straight people, oh but wait you can't have the same rights as us, you can have some of them, you can live together, love each other, if you're able to reproduce ONE of you can be the parent of the child you have, but you can't get married. You can have insurance together, you can call yourselves what ever you wish, but you can't be recongnized by the law (which is supposed to be separated from "church") as an actual couple because the "church" doesn't recognize the same sex marriages. They only recognize the one between a man and a woman. But some of these churches recognize the marriage of a man or a woman to God Himself…. Explain that one to me! Ah but alas different tangent! So we can recognize the "sanctity of marriage" as between a man and a woman, which puts the separation of Church and State OUT of the water btw, or we can realize that we still don't have the separation of church and state and do this and allow these people the right to do what they wish with THEIR lives. Their lives do not directly change yours or influence your life if you do not have someone of said minority in your life. If you do and you call them your friends, STOP being hypocritical and support them in their happiness as a TRUE friend would do! Believe what you want to believe, but DO NOT shove it down other peoples lives. Don't make what you believe be the governing factor in what someone else should believe or the way someone else can live their life.
Please just open your eyes to the world and use your common sense people!
And with that I'm getting off my soap box again. Have a wonderful weekend.
