QuoteWhy does someone else's marriage impact people?
It just does.
But thank God we've got good old-fashioned straight people like Charlie Sheen to protect the sanctity of marriage.

Ya, um...what's the divorce rate now?
Even God practically gave up on marriage back in the day...haven't yall read scripture?

Same way a man and a woman do the same thing.

But your life to me seems to resemble more of a christian than westboro, or even me for that matter...(even if I have more biblical insight.)
I believe we all play a certain role in christianity. Unfortunately however, many of us, though we may have the right interpretation of scripture, absolutely fail in it's application.
I always loved the verses that say you are saved by grace through faith and faith by hearing the word of God. Now though I believe that is true, I felt that all I have to do is just spit out a bunch of scripture and maybe someone will magically believe....but that has never worked, and that is not how I came to believe in the unbelievable. (though I certainly changed the lives of believers with the help of scripture.)
I did not come to believe by people spitting verses in my face or telling me I'm gonna go to hell.
I came to believe by the influence of christians who lived credible lives...and those loving people who lived credible lives lead me to an understanding and appreciation of the words of life...
Now to get back on topic...I don't think the problem is that people have discrepencies with using the word marriage to define gay unions. The problem I think is that many christians feel they are condoning something that they feel to be wrong, wether it be abortion or homosexuality...
Now many would say, well, why should they care...it's none of their business. You're probably right. But chistians in general live a struggle against sin everyday...it's not all rainbows and jelly beans in the land of Jesus. Most of us recognize everyday how short we fall from the glory of God. For many, this is very hard to accept...
To compensate, they look to find flaws in others..."Hey, look...there is a queer...I don't do that sin." It's as if they feel they are getting brownie points for pointing out and condemning sins that they themselves don't do.
This in all reality is the problem with religion...it makes people feel as though they can do something to mask or compensate for their own depravity. To believe this is to completely misunderstand our human depravity and to deny the grace and understanding of a loving and forgiving God.
To be honest, this is just human nature. There are many people who are just so dissatisfied with themselves, religious or not, who feel they have to berate someone else in order to feel better about themselves, wether it be their intelligence, spelling, grammar, occupation or religion in order to feel more worthy.
The bottom line is that homosexuality or abortion are not the greatest sins...what is the greatest sin? well, what is the greatest commandment?
The greatest commandment is to love the lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind...and if you understand what that really means, you'll admit that you can't keep that commandment for more than 5 minutes in you life!
