I found this fan site on Facebook. I've never been so angry. So, I said something to them. I really couldn't just sit there and read what they were saying without saying anything.
DefendMarriage (1 man + 1 woman)
"I am by far not a fan of any of this. But the things I've read here are appalling. I'm sure I know more about the Bible and Christianity more then you people do. I went to Catholic school from Kindergarden to my senior year of high school. And I've taken quite a few religion classes in college. People only read what they want to hear. Jesus taught to love everyone. And I would be ashamed if my followers were unable to do that.
People keep saying that gay marriage is going to ruin the whole idea of marriage but I really don't see how that is even possible. Not everyone is gay. There are still straight people out there and I'm pretty sure they will still want to get married.
I'm going to make a broad assumption here but I highly doubt I'm incorrect...Do any of you feel that interracial marriage is a bad thing? This is primary directed toward the white people in this group, obviously. I really don't mean to offend anyone but you people obviously have no problem with that.
I'd like to specifically regard one person. Christina R. Perkins. Marriage is about love. I'm not planning on marrying my boyfriend because of God. I'm planning on marrying him because I LOVE him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Now, my friend Brittny is in LOVE with her girlfriend, Jackie. They want... to spend the rest of their life together...I honestly don't think Jesus or God would be offended by that. Would you rather Brittny marry a woman...or kill people? It's a touch decision, I know. I have LOVE tattooed on my wrist because I believe in it more then anything else in the world. All we do need is love. And has to start here, with you people actually LOVING all of God's people.
And please, do not get me started on the Bible. It's primarily fictional to teach lessons. The lessons taught with the Bible are to love one another and to respect the power of God. And to follow the commandments. I'm pretty sure "You must marry your opposite sex" is not one of them. If God felt is was one of the hig...hest "rules" to follow, wouldn't he have put it on there? These are the things that I were taught to follow in school when I was younger and that was my ticket into Heaven, so to speak.
People seem to keep referring to the term "liberal," which is defined as being "tolerant of change." Crazy people these days give that world a bad name because they are purposely forcing change unto others just to be different. I guess I would consider myself a liberal because I tolerate change. I respect your religi...ous beliefs. But this isn't the same. You are purposely disrespecting people. And it makes me sick. I hope someday you learn respect. That's some tradition that you seem to have forgotten."
