In my opinion, the Gay Rights movement need leaders. And then there should be a march on Washington, DC. The issue of legalizing marriage for Gays is a federal issue since it concerns civil rights. The protest need to be in Washington, DC. to make the federal officials address this issue. They have added an amendment to the US Constitution to give each state the sayso on whether or not Gay citizens can legally marry each other. I am offended that a law would be made that gives my neighbors the authority to say who I can legally marry. My neighbors bar me from legally marrying a woman I love, but makes it okay to marry a man I don't even have to know -- just as long as it is a man.
I live in Virginia where there is very little law for Black citizens. So if my home state made a law that said Blacks, at the age of 18 would automatically have to work 3 years without pay at a certain company, then would the federal government change the US Constitution to allow this? Is every Black citizen of Virginia suppose to leave Virginia before they reached the age of 18? Is that what Gay citizens of California suppose to do -- leave California and go live in Massachuesttes or Canada just so they can be legally married? What if Virginia decided that Black citizens of Virginia could not vote in local elections? Would the federal government change the US Constitution to allow this -- giving each state the right to say who could vote in local elections?
It really bothers me that heterosexual Black citizens would vote to deny anyone their civil rights. For those who claim to believe in the Bible -- why do they think they get to decide judgement on sin and morality. If they believe homosexuality is a sin then why don't they follow what the book says and let God judge. And it is not fair that the federal government makes a law to allow people to decide what is a sin. And that is exactly what has happened. I have an opinion also, and I don't think homosexuality is a sin. Federal officials allow religious bigots to decide law.
It amazes me that heterosexuals pretend that marriage is so sacred, but they allow heterosexual adulterers to violate their marriage contract and nothing is done about it unless someone decides to divorce. They allow heterosexual murderers to legally marry. Why is there no legal penalty for those who commit adultery? And why does the church not have a penalty for heterosexuals who break the Ten Commandment rule that "thou shall not commit adultery"? Why does the church not get a law passed to ban heterosexuals from being able to ever legally marry again when they violate Gods law? It's ridiculous that 17-year-old children can get legally married (as long as they married the opposite gender), but homosexual adults are banned. The church has too much political control and too many people do not think for themselves.
Adultery is a violation of one of the laws written by God. There is nothing written by God that says man should pass judgement on such an act. Which means it is for Him to deal with what He considers a sin. There is no Commandment that says homosexuality is a sin. There is no Commandment that says only a man and woman can be joined. And the stupid spoutings that God made one man and one woman is -- stupid. God made a man and woman for reproductive purposes. The line "be fruitful and multiply" does not mean have children. Jesus Christ didn't marry nor did He have any children. Now Jesus was here as an example, so if it was so important for a man and a woman to marry and produce children, I would think that Jesus would have did that before He was murdered. But Jesus was fruitful and he multiplied by delivering God's message to many people and it continues today -- even though His teachings have been warped by man. One of the Ten Commandments was to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, yet man works and shops on Sunday. And ministers preach for pay on Sundays. One of the Ten Commandments "thou shall not bear false witness" but the "christians" tell lies about God and they tell lies about homosexuals.
Hypocrisy, hypocrisy, hypocrisy. Christians and other religious bigots violate the only laws written by a fiery finger of God and persecute people who God did not single out as sinners. Heterosexual Americans who voted to violate the civil rights of others are like the people who voted to torture and kill Jesus. The Rulers passed the decision to the religious leaders who passed it to the people who voted to kill Jesus. History repeats itself. Every time people vote to purposely hurt another human being that has harmed no one, they side with the people who voted to kill Jesus. (Not everyone was for this but the majority ruled. Seems kind of familiar huh?)
Christians should study the history of christianity. At one time, they were also persecuted. But as I stated earlier -- hypocrits - who blindly follow without question. Now christians are tyrants who force their beliefs on others.

On a more social, practical level, Christians were distrusted in part because of the secret and misunderstood nature of their worship. Words like "love feast" and talk of "eating Christ's flesh" sounded understandably suspicious to the pagans, and Christians were suspected of cannibalism, incest, orgies, and all sorts of immorality.

I think the church won't change its teachings unless they start losing money and lots of it. Too bad the congregation is so hypnotized - they won't stop putting their money in the collection basket.
ReplyDeleteHi SteadyCat. I don't go to church anymore. I couldn't take the hypocrisy. Some people still think they will get into Heaven by giving money and walking into a building on the Sabbath. It's funny, sad, scary and aggrevating that too many people think their belief is more important than my belief. Too many people follow false teachings because it's too much trouble to read and understand things for themselves.
