it’s against my religion so i would be against someone in my religion getting married to the same gender but if someone outside my religion were to do it i can’t look down on them because they aren’t called to live the way we live. All i can do is pray for them and maybe introduce them to my religion, not judge
It’s kind of a precursor-to-fascism talking point. Popped up around the 1880s along with social Darwinism, the idea of “decadence” being the weakening in moral fabric and so too the decline of civilisation. It’s usually rooted in men being weak and indulging, and civilisation relies on strong men, says the argument.
I believe in freedom of practicing religions because I also practice a religion that people here look down on. I don’t believe in restricting rights of people especially another minority group based on your conservative interpretation of a religion. Also gay marriage is not some supernatural practice to believe in or not lmao. Gay people exist and should have the same rights as heterosexual people that’s it. Being homophobic and blaming it on religion instead of your backward mentalityshows alot
Again social rights and government rights are completely separate from religion and one’s opinions. I don’t agree with gay marriage and I don’t support it and some of it is based because of religion however I am not ignorant and don’t believe everybody should be dictated by my morals. Everybody does deserve human rights and freedom of choice which is what God has given us so we should fight to maintain it. The question was just why are people not able to support gay marriage fully.
No I wouldn’t vote against it. That goes against our freedom to choose and peoples rights. They shouldn’t be restricted just cause they don’t fit what society would want them to be like. It’s my personal opinion. It’s how I don’t support abortions but would never want that choice to be stripped from other women.
True I really do believe that too. I have had friends who are gay and have a hard time accepting it because they are religious and feel guilty. I think also we are all sinners and if someone is trying to live life as close to God as possible and just can’t help their preference I have no place to judge. He who is without sin cast the first stone and everything.
Calling me hateful but you are the one saying ‘I don’t support gay marriage’. Please do some reflection. Trust me I am not an atheist and believe in god, practice too and have no problem with religious people until they start justifying their Stone Age beliefs with religious quotes.
Obviously I would try to be as supportive as possible. I would just want them to remain as close to God as possible regardless. I know a lot of people feel alienated after coming out so just making sure they know God still loves them and accepts them. To just try to lead their life as well as possible.
