So the hearty debate is in the news yet again as vote whether or not gay and lesbian couples are allowed to be married. I thought about this subject alot in the most recent days because of all the news coverage. I am a person that believes in people and in people's nature.

The question of natural versus sin is a compounded question. The word sin actually means transgression of divine law, so in a technicality it is an act against the bible. When you look at it this way, well I guess it is. But let's take a look at what else is considered a sin. The use of birth control in any form is a sin. Due to today's world it is now being accepted by the churches but that was not always the case. My own grandmother birthed ten children in less than eleven years due to her religion, eventually she renounced her religion because she could not afford to support any more children, she could barely make ends met with the ones that she had.

Now that is one of the most recent ones I remember. I have read several articles on biblical rules and there is one that always makes me laugh. The pure thought of it brings images of the old Andy comic, where the wife comes in with the rolling pin. Here is the passage:

"When a woman has a discharge of blood, which is her regular discharge from her body, she shall be in her impurity for seven days, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.' - Leviticus 15:19-20

I would love to see a man totally avoid touching his wife during her special time of the month. Yet it is a sin to touch her. Should all females be required to wear a sign saying that you can not touch me because I am unclean? No but at the time this was written, this was believed to be fact. Women were thought to be lessor creatures and completely misunderstood by the males, who had coincidently been the writers for JC.

So what do these points have to do with the agrument I making? They are the full basis. Eventually, we will evolve and release that homosexuality has really nothing to do with anything else in the world and is really not that important, it will be accepted among the population. Anyone remember a time when women were not allowed to show their ankles? When it was on the peak of change it was a hot topic, there were those that were against it and those that were for it, yet today no one really cares. One day, probably sooner rather than later, sexual preference will have no bearing at all, just like other weird and unusual rules
