Adapted from a conversation last night:
After reading all these posts, more and more I think *I'm* going to vomit...
I'm saddened how everyone seems to have such opposite views as me.... not me, how opposite from GOD. I'm opposed to gay marriage, but I also think straight people can be just as bad. --In fact, most are. *** before marriage is wrong, period. And if gay people "wait" until then--which I don't see why they would, anyway, considering their already twisted sense of values--even if they *do* get "married," it does not count because a marriage in God's eyes is between a man and a woman, which is why it baffles me that people would even *consider* making gay marriage legally valued. I mean, all of the founding documents of our country were based on the Bible and God's Will. *ALL* of them. And now they've practically forbidden God and the Bible anywhere......it sickens me. I truly believe we are living in the end times.
Separation of Church and State was meant to mean that the government would not be allowed to *control* the church, which is what it was doing in Europe at the time. Instead people have twisted it to mean that all beliefs of the church should be eliminated from the government.... Sick, isn't it?
Pardon the cliché, but I'm sure our founding fathers would be spinning in their graves if they knew what our country was like today....the way it has morally degraded.
Ugh, we're just like the Roman Empire.... I don't get it; aren't we supposed to *learn* from the mistakes of history? But, alas, history repeats itself. Morals apparently mean diddlysquat to people nowadays.... People only do and want things simply to get it to their own advantage. It's truly a sad time to live. It frightens me to think about it.....and I know it will only get worse.
God has given us his guidance to help us, but hardly anyone knows, sees or follows that anymore--even *CHRISTIANS*. True, we've all been blessed with that guidance, but humanity as a whole has basically thrown it away. I know I'm not perfect, either; I've been cursed with sinful nature just as much as everyone else. I at least *try* to follow God's guidance, and as a result, I am not stuck in a blurry haze of what is right and wrong.
Anyway, ugh.... I hate it when people say that gays are "born that way" or "God made them that way" and so they justify it all right to be gay through that. That is the biggest deception I've ever heard. God did not make them that way; He made the actual person, but He gave people the freedom to *choose* right from wrong, and the people are choosing wrong. It's freewill and *SIN* that "made" them that way. And no one is *born* that way; circumstances in one's life *influence* them, but one can always overcome that, with God's help. I mean, if one has an abusive, unloving father and is basically raised in a very feminine environment, sure, I can understand why they may have homo....*ahem* tendencies. But thoughts and feelings are much different from *actions*; it's the *actions* that are the problem, which is why being straight can be *just* as bad.
