Supposedly, the Supreme Court will consider the
constitutionality of gay marriage this week. What the court will really
consider is whether religious doctrine that promotes bigotry and hatred will be
the basis for establishing American laws.
If you do not think the opposition to gay marriage is religiously based,
consider this: Gay marriage will cause
no harm to anyone. No one will die. The
economy will not be affected in any way. It will not get us into a war. Gay
marriage will have no effect on heterosexual marriage which in itself is not
such a righteous institution since it ends in divorce more than 50 per cent of
the time. Children will not be corrupted.
The opposition is based purely on the so-called “Christian” belief that
gay marriage is immoral and contrary to the will of God. Nobody, not the
Catholic Church, the Pope, Evangelical preachers nor the National Organization
for Marriage knows what God wants or thinks. This is another abominable example
of bigots using God to justify their hatred and prejudice against gays. These people are the ones screaming about
government taking liberties away from them but they have no qualms about taking
liberties from others in the name of God.
The gay marriage issues is a perfect example of why religion should be
kept out of our government.
