Indignant

I need to get a couple things off my chest. The Supreme Court of the United States of America published an opinion yesterday legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states. I know some of you out there have a problem with this. I know most of you that have a problem with this like to quote scripture and talk all about how God didn't design humans like this, blah, blah, blah. How the hell do you know what Gods design is? And don't come at me with a Bible in your hand either. The same people that are gonna tell me that gay marriage is a sin are the same people that hide the empty Vodka bottles in the garage, or cheat on their spouses. Don't be getting 9 levels of indignant over this whole thing. You don't have to agree with it, but you don't have to be an asshole about it either.

The vast majority of the people throwing out Bible verses like moldy cheese are the same people that get their opinions from the 6:00 news, or worse, the internet. You spout off crap like you wrote the Bible. Got news for you Skippy, you didn't. Here's another newsflash. The Bible was written over a long period of time, a long time ago. Things change. Times change. And before you come at me about the last line, go read the Bible and tell me what the punishment for divorce is. If we still practiced THAT, there'd be a whole lot less divorce. (for those of you who aren't going to go look it up, the punishment for a female was stoning to death)

And how about gluttony. I believe the Bible speaks to that also. Look around you and see if all the "holier than thou" people sitting their fat asses in the Church pews are practicing that! You can't pick and choose one part of the Bible to live your life by. I know I'm not anywhere CLOSE to a good Christian, but I'll damned sure not judge other people based on crap that I don't live up to! If you can sit down and tell me you live your life completely according to the Bible, and therefore, you have an issue with gay marriage, I'll accept it. But I'll also know you're lying. The best, most honest, upstanding Christians I know can't say that.

And on the other side of the coin, if you're gay, so be it. Doesn't make you better than me, and doesn't mean that I need to have it all explained to me in detail every time I go out in public. So Chick-fil-a doesn't support gay marriage. Who gives a crap. They still make a damn fine chicken sandwich. If I choose to eat there, doesn't mean I think any different of anybody. It just means I like the food.(especially the Chick-fil-a sauce!) Don't try to read way more into things than are there. Don't assume you know me or my opinions just because I'm a straight, white male that likes Chick-fil-a. Just like I said, you don't have to agree with it, but you don't have to be an asshole about it either!

And while I'm fired up, what the hell is wrong with people not wanting to bake a cake for a gay wedding? If I owned a bakery and I didn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding, that should be my right. I'm not saying that's what I would do, but it's still my right! If it's a private business and I go in and ask for a cake for my wedding to my goat Sparkles, it should be the owners prerogative to say naaahhhhh (hahaha, I tried to type out a goat noise right there). Remember seeing all the signs on doors that say "no shoes, no shirt, no business"? Are they discriminating? It's their right as an American to refuse business. Any kind of business. It might not be good for their financial well-being, but it's their right none the less. I'm sick of hearing how people are getting sued for refusing to do things they don't agree with in their own business.

We have WAY more important things to deal with in this Country than all the pettiness that's going on. If you don't wanna hear me preach, don't listen. If you don't wanna bake a cake for a gay wedding, don't bake a cake. If you don't wanna go to a restaurant because they don't support the gay lifestyle, don't go. But for God's sake, shut up about it!

Peace out!
