What is the matter with people? The judging is just becoming unbearable! The people voting for or against this are making judgments based on what exactly?

The other day I was driving by an abortion clinic and there was a person dressed as the grim reaper complete with sickle. In his hand was a sign with some biblical connotation that I didn't even care to read. The first thought that went through my mind was, "Who the hell is that person to feel warranted to put, possibly a young teenage girl, through that kind of experience on top of what they're already dealing with?" That definitely wasn't the most Christian act he could've spent his time on, and in such a diabolical manner.

And that's exactly how I feel about this gay and lesbian marriage thing. If it doesn't involve you, then don't get involved! These so called "Christians" are so quick to judge! If they believe in their Bible and their God, then they believe that they shouldn't "judge, lest be judged".

If someone is truly in love with a member of the same sex, how is that any more immoral than the couples that marry figuring divorce is the same as breaking up? Or the couples allowed to marry figuring cheating is OK? These marriages are allowed every day, they fail every day and nobody blinks an eye at the immorality of that, though. No new legislation or laws are passed to control that, though. So, if we can ignore the fact that marriage is becoming more and more of a failing constitution every day between opposite sex couples, why put so much emphasis on the fallibility of a same sex marriage?

Leave people alone. Let them Live freely, Love freely and Die freely. Everyone may or may not have to answer to a higher power someday, but that is an individual circumstance. And not one of us can say that we've lived our life in full accordance with every law or perfection.
So, instead of drumming this into the ground, if someone asks someone to spend the rest of their life with them, congratulate them on their love and go on with your life.
