Time to Move Forward

As a nation, isn't it surely time for us to get past the topic of same-sex marriage?  So much time, money and energy have gone into preventing it. And to what avail? Christians, if you believe this is wrong, then I humbly suggest you don't marry someone who is the same sex as you are.

Allowing the estimated five percent of the population which is homosexual to marry, if that is their wish, will cause the other 95 percent which is heterosexual no harm. Then we can all begin to focus on issues which affect 100 percent of us....the national debt, the economy, job creation, education, healthcare, Monsanto ruining our food supply, corporations buying our politicians, reform of drug laws, etc.

In light of all the pain and suffering and real problems in the world, I often wonder: How did same-sex marriage become such an incredibly important issue in the realm of Christianity? If it's because you believe homosexuality is wrong on a personal level, let's remember that Jesus also said divorce and remarriage is wrong and yet many Christians partake in it. Aside from that, he also invites us to find peace in our own existence and concentrate on improving ourselves, rather than judging others.

If you believe it's because we're a "Christian nation" and therefore there are things of which we can't legally "approve" I invite you to read the following:

I know some readers of my blog will disagree with me, but I believe it is time to move on and let go of the hate which is fomented because of this issue. I hope everyone has a blessed day.
