Personally, I don't feel one way or the other about gay marriages being legalized across the US.
1) Obviously, I'm not gay. And if y'all didn't know that...well, now you know.
2) What other people do is none of my damn business.
Well, I am glad it's over now, let's put it this way. Can we focus on the next problem on the list now?
I've been meaning to write this post for a while, and the day's events kind of paved the way for it.
The beautiful thing about giving up Christianity is that I don't feel the need to judge people. I don't have to care about their religion, their sexuality, their home life, their job, or whatever.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't make them less of a person if they're not like me. It doesn't mean they aren't worthy of love or that they don't deserve to be happy. They're people. Living, breathing people with feelings and thoughts and dreams and wishes.
The funny thing about that is, even Christians shouldn't care. If a gay comes up to you and needs food, would you let him go hungry because he doesn't fit a certain mold?
Honestly, I thought the Church had bigger problems. Aren't there hungry people in the world? Hurting people who need healing? Global warming (if it's real, man)? I used to be super against environmentalism, but I'm not anymore. This is the world we live in. Perhaps we should take care of it, at least a little.
But it's so difficult to love. And so easy to judge.
Riping about homosexuality should never take the place of loving someone who obviously needs it. Someone's sin is between them and God. Not between them and you. I promise, they're not hurting you, they don't want to hurt you. Do not hurt them.
And again, it's none of your damn business. Christianity doesn't allow gays. Okay, Christians aren't allowed to be gay anymore than Muslims are allowed to drink. Fine. But not everyone follows that, and you can't expect someone to live up to expectations that aren't theirs.
If I don't see the End of Days (it's a crapshoot), and it happens after I've grown old and died (if it's really going to happen), I don't want to be remembered as someone who was so religious, who stayed in my ivory tower, and you couldn't come to me. I want to be remembered as someone who, yes, I'm an asshole, but people never doubted that I loved them. I actually gave a damn. I didn't judge, and I didn't ripe about someone's choices.
I don't believe in getting stressed over things I have no control over.
I don't have to like the world I live in. It sucks. But I do have to live in it until a better one comes along.
