Gay Marriage
We should be up in arms about current divorce rate, not gay marriage I am not a regular church-goer by any means, having attended maybe four or five times in the past year. I do not know the last time I actually sat down and read any part of the Bible. Some may call me an atheist, and that’s fine.
Call me what you will. I consider myself a Christian in every way that matters, though some may say I do not understand God’s teachings.Isn’t God supposed to be a loving and understanding God? Would he really want the hatefulness that people have been showing toward the gay community?
Yes, I know that it does say in the Bible that man should be with woman. Every religious leader seems to preach about that part of the Bible when talking about why everyone should oppose gay marriage. Even my mother, who was born and raised to be the good Catholic girl, harps on this Biblical truth.
Yet they conveniently seem to leave out another thing the Bible says: Do not judge others. Since I haven’t been to church in awhile, is it now common practice to pick and choose which parts of the Bible to adhere to?
We shouldn’t be crying foul about allowing gay marriage. We should be up in arms about the current divorce rate in this country. The heterosexual community still has the right to get married and the divorce rate shows total disregard for the sanctity of marriage.To me that is something that is far more troubling than allowing gay marriage.

I feel the exact same way as you do on this. I beleive in God and the bible.. but I don't attend anything religious b/c of stuff like this. It's so hypocritical and stupid.
I agree with you 100%. People seem to get married just for the sake of being married. They do not take their vows seriously at all. Who really cares if you are gay or straight, if you are happy and in love, and are lucky enough to find the one that you are meant to be with. I have a strong faith in God, just not any church, because I beleive that one should believe in Him, not in a church.

I believe that you would be considered 'agnostic' as opposed to 'atheist'. oh, and I agree with your post. :)
paula,
Thanks for clearing up "the atheist" thing. I know so little about religion and it's terms. I always thought that if I didn't realy subscribe to any church that meant that I was an atheist.
Good for people to know.
