gay marriage
Webmaster:
"I am curious here. Say for instance that next month they approved Gay Marriages in the whole
USA. I suspect that Morgan would be back here wanting something else."
Reminds me of the saying, give them an inch, they'll want a mile.
Morgan, the only real right I have guaranteed, to actually do, in the Constitution, is the right to vote. I don't mean to get off topic here, but I almost never hear of people talking about that right.
It's usually, "the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness (property)" because the original words in the Constitution was property, not happiness as in pleasure as Americans know pleasure to be.
Morgan said:
"Personally, I think calling it anything else -- or eliminating it entirely, as many anti-gay
activists would like to -- undermines the principle of equality on which this country was
founded... and which it has come to live up to, over the years."
Again, you hit another snag, Morgan. You define equality as sameness, identicality. We are a nation of equal opportunity, yes, but not sameness. God did not create any duplicates, each person is unique and different.
You use the word democracy, but the USA is actually a representative government, not a, if you'll pardon the term here mob rule.
Morgan said:
"Again... you are not gay."
I know that.
But tell me something Morgan.
Please be honest here.
Are you or are you not sexually attracted to other females?
Because I have actually met gays who have lied to me and denied they have any sexual attraction to their own gender.
Thus the reason I question homosexuality. I often wonder if some people think they are really gay, when they really aren't.
You talk about love.
I love Jesus, I love my family, my friends, I even love my cats, but I certainly am not going to marry any of them.
I think maybe you mistake lust for love, it's a common mistake anyone can make, due to our base nature.
"Yeah, there are a lot of gay people who are pretty messed up. A lot of us are rejected by the
people we love, or just live in fear of it, because we don't even dare to tell them. In various more
subtle ways, our culture as a whole often teaches us to hate ourselves. And self-hatred leads
pretty naturally to self-destruction. Unsafe sex isn't so different from drinking or drugs, just
another path."
As for rejection, that's a part of life, I've experienced rejection too by people would probably call me a friend when they really were not a friend. What should I do? call the ACLU? sue them? force them to accept me?
When you say, "we don't dare to tell them," do you mean you've had crushes on straight females?
and are worried what their reaction might be?
"Anything to feel a little better, for a little while... and to hell with the future."
Is instant gratification necessary? has temperance disappeared from our culture? it must have.
As for the future, you can always look to Christ for that.
As for acceptance, dumb question: why do you seek approval from society for what you are doing? isn't that the shallow path to take?
I am willing to take the heat for saying this, but human relationships based on sex are often a poor substitute for a true, living relationship with Jesus.
