I have to admit I want to find a sugar coated way to discuss same gender attraction, marriage, and what I believe, with those who have an opposite or different viewpoint. I have never enjoyed conflict and dislike the idea of not being liked much less being hated or despised. But what stands ahead of those feelings are what I know to be true. I know that God's ways are not man's ways. When it comes down to it there is line drawn between those who look to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to guide their life and those who for their own reasons choose to live their life here on earth without that influence. The one way naturally can't understand the other. It never surprises me to hear someone scoff the outdated, old fashioned, and seemingly blind people of faith. If you have never felt the peace and sacred experiences of being guided and influenced by the Spirit of God then you simply can't understand. It wouldn't make sense to follow something you've only ever heard about but never yourself felt. Of course anyone with an open heart can know for themselves what that feels like but that takes an open heart and the humility to turn to your maker in sincere prayer. And that is something every man gets to choose for himself.
What I return to however is the demand that all must conform to the current push to legalize marriage as having a genderless definition. I hear the demands that I change my beliefs in the name of discrimiation but I see that very demand as a discrimination of my beliefs. It may be that all we will have in common is the choice to respect each other and our rights to choose for ouselves our vote, opinion, and voice.
