| Though I usually try not to comment on politics, religon, or other controversial or otherwise subjective views, I thought I would have to comment on this one. |
| I was forwarded a link to the American Family Association (click here). I clicked on the link and read a little of what they had to say (note: they didn't have much to say except "gay marriage is bad bad, and people shouldn't do it... gasp..."). Now, I am not gay myself, nor do I necessarily care whether or not you or anyone else happens to be. I believe it is a personal choice to do what you want. In order for me to design out of the ordinary things, I need people to understand that I need to take chances and fail in order to suceed. Conversly, since most people give me that respect, I in turn return the favor by respecting other peoples personal choices. I think this AFA organization is rediculous. My first though upon reading the title was "what church is sponsoring this?" I am not against various religous practices, nor do I mind if someone chooses to not have one at all. It is a personal choice that they have to make and I leave it to them to make. [ note: I am offended by overly evangelistic people who tell me I am going to Hell if I don't convert to whatever their particular sect of the "holy church of whomever and whatnot." An additional side note: I have a friend who isn't a conventional christian and in fact is not one at all. In this persons religon there is no such thing as Hell, in fact they view Earth as it is as Hell. ]. Anyway, back to my point. This organization reminds me of the segregationist, ( ). It simply boils down to prejudice. As with my view on religon, what makes them right. Christians are not necessarily right, which in turn doesn't make Jews, or Hindu correct either. Since their is no proof as to who is right, who is not, and which direction anyone should go, each in their own should go which way they think is right. What makes straight people correct and gay people wrong? Simply because nature intended homo-sapiens to procreate does not mean that gay is "wrong." Looking to nature you can find many other things to dispute this. Should all women take the actions of the spider and kill their mate? I would hope not. I know a number of gay people. They are normal in all ways, except they prefer to have a partner of the same sex. Whatever, if they like that, go for it. I like Jeeps. If you drive a Ford, that's fine, it is right for you. If a gay person wants to consumate their love for their partner through marriage, go for it. It will not distroy our youth; it will not make bad kids. Inter-religous marriages cause a few extra complications at times, but it doesn't make the children horrible deamons. Inter-social marriages don't cause huge conflicts because the mother's family has a few extra zeros in their bank account than does the father's. Their children turn out quite fine (in some cases better, because they have a wider spectrun onto which to draw from). In conclusion, I would like to say: Kick back, relax, and accept that other people are different than yourself... and that is a good thing! |
