I haven't read any of the posts here except the OPs original message and your response. I'm not going to post to anyone's message because the other day it was an almost all day brawl with name calling and very hurtful things said to others.
I think religion and gay marriage is a don't ask don't tell situation. Don't give me your opinions on religion because as they say "opinions are like you know what - everyone has one". Don't try to push or convert me to your (not you in particular, I'm using it as a figure of speech) religion because I think you are wrong. Same with gay marriage. Don't ask don't tell. Don't push your viewpoints on me because again you are wrong. Don't tell me what I can and cannot do and I will not tell you what you can and cannot do. If your going to keep something away from a certain group of people then it shouldn't be allowed for everyone. Most everyone will say it's wrong because it says so in the bible or "god doesn't want it" or any of that psychobabble crap they spew. Since many don't believe in the bible and all the crap that goes with that, they should just keep their "bible opinions" to themselves and stay out of my life. Let me live my life how I want to live it. Otherwise if you're going to tell me what I can and cannot do in my personal life be prepared for it to come back twofold.
All I say is quit telling people how they should live because of some fictitious book you believe in, which happens to be filled with a bunch of garbage too. Don't be hurtful towards others because you don't believe in their lifestyle. If you don't believe in their lifestyle then find something else to occupy your time and keep your nose out of where it don't belong. Don't try and tell a certain group of people they are mentally ill (that was in one of the posts yesterday), because the way I see it anyone who follows a religion blindly and ignorantly and is rude and treats other people badly goes against everything Jesus was trying to tell people when he was on earth. And please don't even try and tell me that Sodom and Gomorrah, the twin towers, or even the New Orleans disaster was caused because of the gays.
I have this conversation with my sister over and over and over. She turned mormon some years ago and now she professes that I am wrong and the only way this or that will happen is if I become mormon.
Everthing we do in our lives is choices that we make. We are adults, and evidently we believe we are right and you are wrong, otherwise we would have converted over or done what you do. The earth is filled with unique people with different lifestyles and opinions. Live and let live and don't tell us we are wrong because we are not your religion or we are gay and want to marry, because many of us believe you are wrong.
Again - any time I said the word "you" in my post I was not referring to you JTBB, I was using it to describe all.
