Sad news today. Even though the courts hands were probably tied (I am not a lawyer), it is deeply distressing the hate mongers have won out again. Gays aren't good enough for the same right to marry as straight people. They must be satisfied.
Why is it that people so fear and mistrust those that do not conform to their view of the "norm"?
These so-called Christians that have such a burning desire to preach hate and fear. I do not begin to understand it. They put all their faith into a Bible that was written by men long after Christ died. It has been rewritten and re-interpreted so many times over so many generations, how can it truly reflect his words?
The one thing that shines through is the message of love and acceptance and caring. There is no message of hate and exclusion and fear. For hundreds of years, any non-white people were treated as less as not worthy of equal status in our society. Heck, there were even white people treated as badly, but we were finally learning to move past that attitude. How have we come to saying it again? How have we come to hating so deeply again?
I don't think that is what Jesus intended. At least, I hope not.
