Controversy
So the other night I was really taking into consideration some of the things I've heard my peers say, regarding the controversial subject of gay marriage. Not naming any names, last year in my biology class I had one individual explain to me why he was against the act of two people of the same sex getting married. His one and only argument was, "In the bible, it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." Thats what got me thinking. A lot of the people who are against it, claim that they are all 100% perfect pure Christians. What many of those "perfect pure" Christians may not know, is that they go against the bible everyday of their life. Many people might not know that Leviticus 19:28 reads:“Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.” So with that being said, getting bible verses or anything that may be supporting the idea of the bible, printed on your skin, is not following the bible. So, to all of the Christians out there with works of art on your body, why are you against love between two people? Saying it's against the bible is honestly not a logical explanation. To give another example, Deuteronomy 22:20-21 states:"But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die:"Pretty much what this is saying is, that If you have sex before you're married then your father shall throw stones at you until you die. Many people would probably agree that this is completely ridiculous. (Rhetorical question coming at you) Now tell me, all of you perfect pure Christians out there who don't think it's "right" for a man to lay down with another man because it's against the bible, do you think it's okay for a man to stone his daughter to death after losing her virginity to a person she is not married to? A majority of you will say no. But if you don't believe an man should have the right to murder his child for a reason such as that, then why do you think it is wrong for a man and a man, or two women the have the right to show their love by getting married. I think I've made my point.
