I just watched a video that mocks us as christians due to our belief that gay marriage should not be. it's all about Prop 8 and how we spread hate. the video goes on to say that we don;t even live up to the bible our selves so we should just get over it and stop spreading hate. i have some thoughts on all of this.
1. I Love gay people. i have a good friend who is gay. i do not agree with her lifestyle, but it does not cause me to reject her in anyway. I'm there for her and will always be there for her.
2. i support the view of traditional marriage in the fact that it is and always should be between one man and one woman.
3. there is another video that takes a poke at us saying that divorce should be illegal because if gay marriage screws up kids then so does divorce. i agree. i hate divorce. i am a child of divorce. divorce at it's core is horrible and cause some serious unsteady ground for a child to stand on. before divorce seek help thats what i say.
4. i have no problem with people trying to use the bible to back up their beliefs either pro gay marriage or not. the only thing i ask is that you please know what you're talking about instead of just quoting something that you heard someone else say. research it for yourself.
5. here is my biggest thought. ok, suppose gay marriage gets to the point where it is legal in the good ol' U S of A. what's next. at what point should we say thats enough, here is what i mean. suppose gay marriage is legal as of 2010 in every state including alaska and hawaii, now let's suppose that it is the year 2015 and there is a guy who wants to marry his dog who would we be to say he couldn't do that, would equal rights be given to him to adopt a child? so the child he adopts would have a human father and a k9 mother? what if the man wanted to marry a male dog? this child would have a gay father and a gay dog as his second father. would we limit it to only being able to marry a dog? what if they wanted to marry a fish? you may be laughing right now, but we laughed years ago when we thought about same sex marriage back in the 40's and 50's and look where we are now?
i do not support gay marriage, and no it is not hate. because i don;t hate anyone. just because you don;t support something doesn't mean you hate it. i don;t support water polo, but it doesn;t mean i hate it.
where do we draw the line?
this is way to close to moral relativism for me. there are absolute truths out there. there always will be, just because we choose to ignore something does not mean it will go away.

there are moral absolutes but there is a problem that goes deep in our society and it is sin. and what sin has created is the idea of a "moral convienence".
"what works for me right now is what i belive in. it may change, it might not but for now this is what i'm doing."
my question is this; "if there are no absolutes, how can there be anything?" if i'm not absolutley sure the ground is solid why on earth do i need legs, shoes or anything else? i'm going to be mortified at the idea of leaving my house, for all i know the ground my swallow me!
so i just read this blog on Prop 8, which by the way burns christians up so much because it literally calls their nonsense out.
i completely feel that gay marriage is fine, but the analogy that a guy wants to marry his dog? i remember hearing that nonsense when i was in church. you mention hate and the love you have for gay people but then relegate it on the same level and marriage with a dog. if you cant see the gross and horrific hate you spew with this line of reasoning then... well nevermind because it wont help.
as for the comment about absolutes, right and wrong, all of that is relative to culture & society. if you say otherwise you have never studied other cultures and practices around the world and thus you narrowminded forms and then when you begin to make these claims it will ALWAYS come across as hate.
