Re: I'm comming out..
Wilkin 250 R -Wrote -Just for the record, before you all label me as a godless liberal, I'll say that I am quite the opposite. The reason I say gay marriage/civil union should be allowed is because I have a deep-rooted, fundamental belief that we should not impose our morality and religious beliefs on other people, because I don't want other people forcing their religion and morality on ME.<br /><br />Wow, I have read through this because some guy said he was coming out.<br /><br />Wilkin- The very thing you are opposed to is happening. The aethiest/secular world view of things IS telling people of faith what is right and wrong and is redefining truth based on world views. It is telling people of faith should not believe their faith because being gay is of genetics or what ever. I am being told to accept something in my heart I can not. Political Correctness is mind/thought control. I have a visually impaired developmentally delayed child who is also physically challanged. These are all PC words hiding the truth to make everyone feel better. The reality is my child is blind as a bat, he is mentally retarded and back in my parents day he would have been called crippled. I used the word retarded in his therapist office and was almost attacked by a women. <br /><br />I only use this as an example how in a few short years we have been shaped by the PC crowd and the truth is being distorted. When I was a kid in 1970s people could laugh and make jokes about people of colors, conditions and backgrounds. Now that is called hate. People need to go to sensitivity training. All this sounds way too big brother for me and a little like the Nazis or the communist party from Russia or China.<br /><br />I thought America is home of the free, but no longer except as long as it is sanitized PC thoguht. I love my kid with all my heart and his condition no matter how the PC world dresses it up does not change the fact that he is a blind crippled retard. My kid is who the he is and I love being his dad.<br /><br />I do not hate anybody;most people I know I like. I don't know anybody on this board therefore I can not really hate them. What I do hate is this. I hate the left trying to marginalize my faith and my beliefs. I hate being told that if I disagree with homosexuality, The Dixie Chicks or what ever then I am the one being intolerant. I hate the enitre PC mind control crap the media and Hollywood is craming down my throat. I hate the fact the truth is being shoved aside in our society. <br /><br />I hate the fact that an African Government came to the international AIDS conferecne and said the way they curtailed AIDS was to instill an abstinence and monogamy into their culture and it worked to greatly reduce AIDS and the world laughed at it, they laughed at the truth. <br /><br />It is their version of a secular morality that is being forced upon us. Humanism and secular beliefs have their own morals and values which are counter to most of the world's religions. Is it not the left who is supposed to embrace all beliefs and everyones ideas. They only embrace the ideas that they agree with and everyone else is intolerant. So who really preaches hate and intolerance??? The left. You wanna be gay and do wierd things with gerbils or multiple partners, knock your self out, but keep your immoral secular lies out of my family and out of my church. <br /><br />If gay people get the "right" to marry, then the polygymist will the get the constitutional right because why should we define marriage by a number or who I can marry? Legally, I should be allowed to marry any adult I want, including my sister, my dad or my mom. Everyone is consenting and the constitution gaurentees my right to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. I will use the same equal protection clause in the constitution that is being used for gay marriage in a non-value non-moral world.
