| My Opinion On Gay Marriage |
 |
| I read in the news where some one said,“ The union of a man and woman is the most enduring human institution, honoring -- honored and encouraged in all cultures and by every religious faith. Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society. “
This may have been the truth at one time, but pretty hard to swallow at this time, with all the broken marriages, and people who are just living together. They say Bush won because the majority of the people cared about moral values, but the vote was almost 50/50. The question is who’s moral values are they considering? We have for years fought against prejudice in this country, and have past laws to prevent this. Yet the issues in this election were nothing but prejudices based on religious belief’s. This whole business against same sex marriage is nothing but one of prejudice. Just another reason for keeping the division of church and state.You can not have freedom of belief if it does not apply to all belief’s. The melting pot of the world contains nearly all religions. This is no longer just a Christian country, believing in Christian values. I went to church, and studied the Bible too, I married a woman for 28 years and have kids. Just so you don’t get the idea that I am ignorant in the teachings of the church, or a gay person. I say what I say because I can not stand those, who preach one thing and do another. I do believe that when there was both a mother and a father in the home, and the mother stayed at home with the kids, and the parents rights were honored, the kids were the better for it, and society as a whole. Christian’s believe that God created Man and Woman as mates just as with the rest of the animals, yet they also turn right around and claim that sex is the original sin, and we are all living in sin. Of course they use a tale of the apple to explain it to the young, but we all know the apple represents the gaining of the knowledge of sex. Which they believe they were not suppose to do, and were cast out of the garden to fend for them selfs. Why give the ability to reproduce if we were not intended to use it, just like other animals. This also must mean that God also made the gays, or they would not be here. |
| The Christians would have you believe that marriage was invented by God, it was not, it was instituted by man. People did not start to marry in a formal ceremony, until societies began forming where there was a need for proof of inheritance. The marriage ceremony was a legal means of establishing property rights, and the right of the sir name for the child. If you ladies stop to think back the words were a lot different at that time, “ to love, honor, and obey” your husband. The marriage doesn’t even have to be done by the church, it can be preformed by a judge, ships captain, there are others that do not come to mind right now. It is just as legal whether sanctioned by the church or not, the holiness of marriage is in the mind of the individuals personal belief. Which in our society under the right to believe as we choose, can not be forced on to some one else. “America is a free society, which limits the role of government in the lives of our citizens.” If this were true there would be no objection to this type of marriage. I do believe that it is not the fault of true gays that they are the way they are. This is a fault in the genetic make up, that controls the emotional make up of the brain. Until science can find the cause, and correct it, we will have these people amongst us. They can not produce off springs to carry their names, but if they are allowed to adopt which has happened, the child would carry it’s own sir name from it’s original father. Unless the name was legally changed to that of one of the partners. If they want to have a marriage ceremony with a licences for the sake of property rights, I can not see any harm in letting them. By rights any law passed or a amendment to the constitution that forbids this, is unconstitutional. Since we are suppose to have the freedom to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
