Holy crap, this again?

Some food for thought:

Two life long friends. Not gay, but they live together. They love each other, but not sexually.

Eventually they realize they probably aren't going to find the women of their dreams. That's fine they are enough company for each other.

It is a shame though because both of them love children. They look into it but they can't adopt because they're two men. The system would rather keep kids in the system than allow two people of the same gender to raise them. They can however take on foster children, but that's not the same at all.

Eventually one of them becomes ill and losses his insurance. The savings accounts dwindle quickly, but they can't share insurance to offset the cost, only married people can do that. Only married men and women can do that.

The one who's sick has no immediate family, and eventually decisions of life and death arise. They fall into the hands of state insurance and doctors. When the money outweighs the life they will let him die.

The state doesn't recognize their life long partnership as legally worthy of regarding. If they were a man and a woman they would though.

If they were single because they were priests, the world would view them differently too, but they are single together, which legally makes them single alone.

Does this make any sense at all? Do we deny these them things in the name of God? That's an awfully big name on that claim.

Forget for a second about who's sticking what where, and let's just think about gay people as those poor unfortunate unenlightened people, like we used to be, before we made God in our image.

Would that change anything?

And let's be real, men and women do that too, but we ignore that, don't we? (sodomy)

We don't ask married people if they're practicing sodomy before extending them rights. But if our bias is Biblically based, and not just the gay people but all of our sexual lifestyles are open for scrutiny, well them maybe we should start asking, EVERYONE.

We should also ask then if all discharge is by virtue of physical union or self gratification, because we are to spill no seed on the ground. That means no pulling out, no condoms, no masturbation. We need to ask that as well.

So what is the issue? The object of our affection? What we put where in the bedroom? What offends our sense of decency? Or is it really what offends God? Because I'll bet there's a lot of things done in God's name without his approval that he probably finds just as offensive. In fact I'm sure of it. But we look the other way on those.

The get to lead churches and hold telethons.

And where is a formal marriage first mentioned in the Bible? And then where is it aligned as being the same as a state recognized marriage?

We can't really put our head in the sand about this. That would leave our ass in the air and who knows what might happen then?

Imagine if Jesus had said," You've sinned, and you're going to do it again, so I here by deny you." There would be no hope for any of us.

Love cannot be the message when apathy is the medium.
