So yesterday & today the internet & news outlets have all been on fire because President Obama said, "Same sex couples should be able to get married." Now I myself agree but I think this was a make or break his campaign statement. However, shortly after he had a fundraiser where he raised about 1 million an hour in so he isn't hurting that bad. Yet. The Pres has lost most if not all the black church vote with that. I have seen everyone from James Fortune (gospel singer) to Roland Martin (cnn analyst) chime in on this. All I can say is wow. People feel very strongly about this. Especially, Christians. I think the best comment that I have seen thus far is one from Dr. Lance Watson who is a Pastor from VA. He said, " We can not legislate morality. What's morally right to some is absurd to others!" I think he hit the nail right on the head with that one. I mean it's self explanatory. Somebody else, somewhere, thinks you are in the wrong. Somebody else, somewhere, thinks your beliefs are senseless or illogical. Somebody else, somewhere, thinks you have it all wrong. In fact, there are a lot of people in this world who do.
Ok, now let me touch on the comment that irked my nerve the most. It came from the daughter of the very bright Sarah Palin.. Haha. Yes, the famous Bristol Palin. "While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would've been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview. Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would've been nice if the President would've been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee." Did she really say that? Yes, this is what her ignorant ass said. Not surprising though because umm look at her moms. So kids do better in a two parent home. Well, where were her awesome loving two parents when she got pregnant?? Oh, & it's ironic that she would say kids need two parents when she & her mom have used the media to bash her child's father (Levi Johnston). Smh. So keeping him away from your kid is the Christian thing to do Bristol? Go sit down. Then she went on to say that Dads should lead their family in the right way of thinking & that the Pres isn't a leader. Wow, she is so misguided. I feel bad for her. He is teaching his daughter's unconditional love & equality for all people. Damn, that's a terrible thing to teach your kids. Well, since she feels kids do way better in a mom/dad home she better hurry up & find a man. We don't want Trick or Treat or whatever his name is to group up watching Glee..Lmao.
I'm sure there are many of you who will say oh well my GOD say's this & my bible tells me so. Blah blah. Relax. The bible also say's that eating pork is unclean & that you should rest on the Sabbath & that you shouldn't wear mixed garments. Yet, we aren't boycotting or going off on companies that make pork. I'm just saying. Life is all about choices right? Well, if you aren't GAY then you won't choose to marry the same sex.
The greatest spiritual leaders (Jesus,Buddha,, Muhammad) in history have all preached love for others as the basis for all happiness, and never did they accompany such mandates with a list of unlovable actions or deeds. At the end of the day it's to each his own. What works for you may not work for me but let's not sit in a place of judgement because we ALL fall short of the glory of GOD.
