I keep hearing about “religious” groups condemning gays and gay rights regurgitating some obscure Bible verse, or whatever. So let’s get to it. You want to talk about religion: It’s not the most credible institution. Let’s not forget, the crusades were waged in God’s name. Also, If you want to quote Bible verses, what about Mathew 7:1 “Judge not, lest ye be judged” or John 8:7 “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” How about the part where God gave us freedom of choice. The list goes on and on. The point is, if you are going to condemn someone or some group, don’t use the Bible as your reference. Remember how much everyone hates the Westboro Baptist Church hypocrites? If you don’t want to be grouped in with them, at LEAST, use different references.
So, back to the gay marriage announcement and the Arkansas Democrat/Gazette’s refusal to publish it: WTF?!? Who is it hurting?!? If you said No One… you’re right. If 2 guys or 2 girls want to get married, fine. Believe it or not, it’s not going to destroy the institute of marriage (which currently has a 45+% failure rate), it’s not going to crash the economy, it’s not going to end the world, AND, we probably won’t even know about it. The only people it affects are the 2 people getting married. I say, who has the right to keep 2 people, who are in love, from being married. I say, Good for them!
