The conclusion of my thoughts regarding an important social issue of our time:
If you don’t believe in the God of the Holy Bible, then I will beg you to consider what He has to say. If you continue to reject Him then that is your decision and I will still love you. But don’t tell me that I am being hateful towards others when I have their best interest at heart.
It brings the alcoholic happiness when he drinks, but he is worse off because of it. No one would dispute that, and many work to help him find happiness in something that will not harm him. It brings the homosexual happiness to be with his partner, but it also brings insecurity, disease, an early death, and as a non-christian: torment in hell. How is that something that we can condone even on a secular level?
From a completely secular standpoint the constitution of the United States calls for the separation of church and state. For years, the government has struggled with how to keep a line between the two. On one hand the majority of our citizens have shared common beliefs, such as the right to life, but on the other they are not all of the same religion. Government has walked on this line off and on in regards to certain issues. Like when it started acknowledging marriage for the sake of collecting more taxes. Now the government is trying to step completely into the marriage issue and change its definition. The government does not have the authority to do this because marriage has always been a religious matter. There is no example in history where marriage was considered a matter of the state. Therefore, I vote against the government getting involved in religion and in marriage. In order to maintain the separation of church and state the government needs to step back and completely abandon any connection that it has with marriage.
To honor the constitution and respect the many religions practiced in the United States please vote No on question 1. The government has no right to get involved in religion.
