There has been a lot of talk lately about what the Bible says or doesn’t say, particularly as it relates to homosexuality. Let me be very clear when I say, the Bible condemns no one. It is our actions, our words, and even our thoughts that condemn us, and we are all guilty. No one is of less worth than me because they sin differently than me, or for that matter, more than me.
Having said that, it doesn’t mean I have to accept sin and call it good. And it doesn’t mean that you have to agree with me on any count. It does mean that no matter what you do, I will still love you. It does not mean that I must love everything you do (same goes for me).
I oppose gay marriage on moral grounds. I would vote against it. I would also vote for prohibition if that ever came to vote again. But ask people I know if they have ever felt condemned by me because they drink? Absolutely not. Because they smoke? No. Because they have premarital sex? No. But will I celebrate these things? Never.
In the end, I would have a moral society. I would vote for morality based laws. I would rather see a polarized society with some immoral and some moral rather than an amoral society, which reminds me of a frog slowly boiling to death as the heat is slowly turned up. An amoral society is desensitization.
