First of all I consider myself a Christian (No Denomination).
I have a few gay friends that I really think a lot of. I am not gay, I have
been married since I was 16 to the same woman we currently just celebrated our
20th anniversary.
I have a 19 year old son and a 12 year old daughter that I
love more than life itself. I had a rough childhood (basically trailer trash I
was considered) that didn’t bother me though. I was picked on about being poor
in a rural farming community. Still I carried my own self and was not really
worried about anyone else and I did the best I could with my limited knowledge
and life experience. I worked in a hog farm, textiles, anything I could get at
the same time as I was going to school.
Finally after 4 years I got a job in Information Technology.
That was around 1997 I think, but enough of my life story it’s not the point.
I was raised in the church Sunday morning and night, Wed
night as well and was a born again Free Will Baptist Church even at the age of
12.
I soon got a job in Raleigh and was trained by others in my
field, something else they taught me was I was a product of my rural environment
which there is nothing wrong with that I think to a degree we all are.
Since I was growing slightly older I was learning about
myself, my family and how to treat other people with respect. Later on I soon
saw the world for what it is. A hypocritical, racist society and when I say
that I mean Black, White, Poor, Mexican, or anything different from the normal
in the area of which I live.
I soon became a person that resented that, but I thought as
time goes on people were being more understanding with everyone. Well I have
seen now the complete non-understanding of ignorance and racism around me.
Voting for that Amendment without understanding that not everyone has the same values as you was an ignorant move for all of you. You are no better than HITLER with the Jewish, yes that is strong wording but I understand that my father in heaven had his life took to protect and provide us with SALVATION and his people then are persecuted even after his death.

Remember one thing we are all joints and parts of the body
of Christ. Please I beg of you if you really think you are a true Christian as
you preach and condemn that you are no better than the people you are talking
about and judging.
Keep in mind there is NOTHING BUT SIN no little no BIG just
SIN. Racism, Adultery, Gluttony, Bestiality,
Robbing, etc are all SINS.
My thing is if we went exactly by the Bible all Divorced People would be condemned, all Adulterys, all Drinking of Strong Drink, but at the same time it is OK for 2 women to lay together and also a man can lay with more than 1 woman as long as his bride allowed it and she was not married. So do your research about everything but the main thing is you are you’re brother’s keeper. When was the last time YOU brought your neighbor a glass of water when he was cutting his yard? That’s just an example.

I am not perfect I am not a genius. I am a simple man but I
know HATE is a SIN as well. So I try never to hate someone of another religion,
color, or sexual preference. You might not agree with it but they are still God’s
children. Maybe if you showed a little love that might even come to your side
and change their thought process. If not though Love Your Brother and Sister.
