All my gay friends are people I went to high school with, 30+ years ago, and none of them are close friends.
I wouldn’t unfriend them over this issue, because I do see where they are coming from.
I was going to let the whole thing go because I knew nothing good would come from me saying anything, until I saw a post from another friend of mine. He posted “marriage isn’t a freedom thing, it’s a God thing”.
I agree with that.
I’m a libertarian too, which doesn’t help, because if I went by my political philosophy, I’d be in favor of gay marriage. As a Christian, I don’t have that option. If God says something is wrong, then it’s wrong, period.
I think I’ll end up just saying that I feel their pain, but as a Christian, I can’t agree with them (even though I hoped to leave religion out of it).
It’s just sad that some people can’t disagree without being disagreeable.
I do appreciate your reply and everyone elses.
There ya have it. All in two sentences.
I'm proud of you...
Well, you shouldn’t leave Christian faith out of it if you say something. You believe in something that the “world” does not believe in. Christian faith would mean nothing if it could be had from the world. Saying this will put some off. God will draw others closer if only in curiosity.
I just say, “Why is the government involved in marriage at all?”
They have nothing to say.
I have a covenant marriage.
