As I've said on other threads, we all have our lines in the sand. I know lots of Christians who are divorced for reasons other than the wife cheating on the husband (which, technically, is the only reason Jesus saw as acceptable). And I know a miserably married Christian couple who won't ever split up because they have both been faithful and believe what Jesus said about marriage. Same religion, different lines in the sand. Where marriage is concerned, mine is consenting adults. And if we're living in a society that chooses to reward marriage, we can't withhold that reward based on sexual preferences. It's discriminatory. And, like those early leftist, religious lunatics who got it in their craw that slavery was bad, even though they themselves were not slaves, I'll passionately continue to advocate for gay marriage, even though I'm not gay. In the end, as society evolves, I believe if an idea is right on a universal scale, you will eventually convince society of it's rightness. Not an instant process, because many people fear change, but if it's right, it'll happen.
And to finish, I apologize for the stupid light blue lettering I put your quotes in. For all that I can install memory chips and replace lithium batteries and edit video on computers and blah blah blah, I CANNOT figure out how to break up someone else's quotes so they stay in those nice shaded boxes while I type new stuff in between. Help?
