The Supreme Court of the United States ruled today that same
sex marriages can be in all 50
states. Those so-inclined and
so-desiring and even well-wishers erupted in congratulatory cheers, hugs, and
high-fives. A historical moment here in the states!
That same Constitution, upon which the decision was made,
allows for a rule of law in this country where people can freely express their
opinions, beliefs, and even petition the government, which we’ve seen.
Just as so many have expressed their beliefs, I have one and
it’s that I disagree with the decision. (I felt that collective WHAT???????!!!!!!).
Do not misinterpret disagreement
for hatred. I do not hate anyone. I
just disagree, just like some people are disagreeing with me right now, as is
your right. That’s one of the nice things about living here in the United
States.
This is also one of those times when most seem to refer to
the Bible to both defend their position and to cut at contrasting views. Well,
it is the Bible upon which I base my beliefs; beliefs that should not misinterpret disagreement for hatred. I do not hate anyone. Living in America, we’re
all entitled to a belief system, religious or otherwise, or no religious belief system at all, and we can disagree.
We can disagree! Or can’t we?
