Okay I'm back on gay marriage. As much as I don't understand about homosexuality. When I think about the ridiculous gas prices I don't feel as confused. I was watching some documentaries on the Current channel. I didn't realize what was restricted to gay couples. When I heard all the restrictions it occurred to me that these restrictions were quite inhumane. For instance if there is a gay couple and one of them is in a car accident. The other partner can be denied visitation because they're not technically family. Even though they could have been living with each other for the past 25 years and have a mortgage on their home. They might have even adopted a child and have raised that child through college. It would insane not to let that person see their partner. There is a bunch of other stuff too. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on the legal nonsense involved.

As a Christian it doesn't offend me when gays are married. It doesnt bother me when people actually slander Jesus. Besides my own religious beliefs, never would I impose my religous paradigm on anyone by ballot or force. When I hear about people trying to force there views on people. Its as if those who they're trying to impose these views on, are second class citizens. Honestly I think it's a waste of time and money for Christians trying to make these "sanctity of marriage" amendments on state constitutions as well as federal. I wouldn't think that they could hold its weight in court. The only people trying to get these legislations passed are Christians. The only reason they're trying to get them passed is because they think it's a sin. Sin is a religious issue not the state's. Despite my religious convictions if I held a chair in the supreme court I would rule that this issue interfered with the state endorsing religion. It feels backwards and wrong to me. If Christians are so concerned with these gay issues they would think of a better way to address these issues.

I have a few pointers for any Christian lawyers trying to make a dent in gay rights.

1. Stop wasting your time in the courts. (See above)

2. Make some honest friendships with your gay opponents. Real friendship. Don't try
and get them saved. Listen to them. Help them with anything that any friend would provide. Get some slurpees play some video games. Primarily just listen.

3. Live by action and not by words. Don't picket. Don't put out an add campaign. There is no such thing as bad publicity.

4. Read up on it. Read material from scholars on both sides. Don't assume that you understand everything there is to know about homosexuality.

5. Pray. Just don't pray "Dear Baby Jesus, Please turn those darn dem gays over der in San Frisco so dat dey don't go to H-E-double hockey sticks." Think about it put some compassion into. Don't look at gays as some sort of enemy. As if they are destroying Christianity. Pray for understanding and guidance. Above all listen to what God has to say to you.

6. Don't deny their help.

7. If your calling them sinners realize to that your no better. Having sex before marriage-sin, Pornography-sin, cheating on your taxes-sin, gossiping-sin, gay bashing-sin, above all Judging-sin. Remember that were all on the same playing field. None of us have a born position that makes you have it in better with Christ. So stop pointing fingers.

Live and let live. Don't worry Christianity isn't going anywhere. It certainly wont go anywhere positive if we panic. Also too Homosexuality isn't going anywhere either. Please, though Christians lets not become nagging complaining nincompoops. Lets be smooth and clever. Making clean decisions that will better benefit man rather he be straight or gay.
