“We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.” -Andrew Clark, The Breakfast Club, (John Hughes)
I don't understand the gay marriage issue. In fact, I don't understand any gay issues. The plain truth is, I am not gay, so how can I understand it? How does any intelligent person, regardless of their level of education, presume to argue something that she does not understand? You also will not hear me debate quantum physics or differential calculus functions. (I don't even know if anyone debates those things, -I'm just saying.)Those who 'oppose' homosexuality will quote scripture and forecast an eternity in hell for the stricken. This makes me ever so grateful for my God. My God loves me unconditionally and would never, ever, ever condemn me for all eternity based on my decisions or behavior in this speck of an earthly existence. What loving mother or father would punish their baby for an entire lifetime because he spit up, or cried out? Our sins, be they voluntary or involuntary, are committed without the advantage of Divine Omniscience. I will say it again and again. We are here, as children of God, to love and to learn. It's somewhat of a relief not to be responsible for passing judgment on anyone's values or beliefs. I leave that to my Creator, as I have plenty of other things to worry about.
