This is where I am coming from. I was born in 1956. I like to think I knew a better age in this country -and I did. And I absolutely DO Care.
After Bambi's election, I saw what all that caring did for me, for this country. nothing. The government will do as it will, no matter how I feel. No matter how At least 50% of us feel.
If I fight at all anymore, and that is yet do be decided, I'm going to choose the big one, the big battle. Whatever that turns out to be.
If this government, in all its friggin hubris, wants homos to marry - so be it! I know what I believe, I know what is right, I know that the government has no business messing with the Holy Sacrament of marriage. But they ARE going to do it. Let them and their supporters burn forever with that choice.
I have washed my hands of all the social fighting. Which does not mean, by any interpretation, that I have washed my hands of the fight.
This fight belongs to the CHURCH. When pastors and priests start fighting it, I'll be happy to join in. Until then, and I mean the majority of Churches, unafraid of losing their precious tax breaks, until then, me and my house will follow The Lord and the rest can go you know where.
Sometimes it does feel like the people who should speak and have the power, ie the churches, elected leaders and so on, are silent, or worse, and come around only when they need money or votes. Guess we have to keep an eye on things and “know when to walk away, know when to run.”
