Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Marriage should be a sacred institution between only a woman and a man: 166 of 316
There are two issues here, same sex unions and religious morality. Both deserve respect and that is why I can see how some may view same sex marriage as wrong. Same sex unions are normal and natural as discussed later, but for now in respecting that people deserve to have religious rights as much as they deserve to unite wit... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Faith vs. doubt: 14 of 26
To him who is our leader There she kneels on the floor Her hands held to her face Holding back the water That is flowing once again She's on her fourth husband Her fifth child's on the way Yet when it is born It will not meet the two that passed She looks upwards in question Again she's asking why Where can this lord be?
