Stop the Insanity

As a previous citizen of the US, and having to continue to

read the shameful ways Americans are allowing this kind of insanity

to go on, is just more justification for why I left in the first

place. The insanity is that allowing gay people to marry is even in

question. It should never have been a question in the first place

as it should never have been a question as to whether slavery was

right... Whether women should be allowed to vote and whether black

people should be respected and given the same general rights and

opportunities as white folk. In my own mind, these are just obvious

things and its so shameful that Americans still need to squabble

over such things when the rest of the world (For the most part)

have already become somewhat enlightened in these matters.

The other thing that bothers me most is how everyone who is a

Christian or religious seems to turn this whole thing in to

something about them. Not everyone is a Christan nor cares what

your opinion is about this matter. And no, Marriage has nothing to

do with your religion no matter what you book of ancient text and

scrolls tends to say. Its meaningless to most sane thinking people.

And Christianity for the most part causes more harm to people than

almost anything else. It teaches intolerance and hatred and bigotry

towards those who don't share your views. Shame on you. I even read

where Christians believe that Gay marriage hurts kids and that it

confuses them. How about imaginary fairy tales of invisible beings

that love and care for you but are never seen, but will send you to

a lake of fire if you don't obey him. Scaring children in to being

"good"? Again... Shame on you. Also... the biggest thing that

angers me is seeing Christians compare homosexuality to bestiality.

I believe that too many Christians have a preoccupation with animal

sex and that its very strange that almost all of them go in that

direction when trying to debate gay marriage. Despite what

Christians believe, what human a person loves, is their business

and it should be accepted by the general public and those people

should be given the same equal rights. So please, stop telling me

and other homosexuals that its like having sex with animals and

that somehow its unnatural and not normal. I believe most likely,

Christianity is not normal, and more harmful.

Stop debating over common sense things and focus on things

that need fixing such as the real separation of Church and state.

 

 

+*Marriage and unity of loving people is a basic human right

for everyone regardless of color, race or sexual preference.* +
