I really don’t understand.
I don’t understand how people who profess, as part
of their larger political philosophy, that they want to get government out of
people’s lives insist that the national government should make a law for
everyone defining marriage. Could there
be a more intrusive example of government intrusion into our lives?
I don’t understand how people who profess to love
the constitution would choose to ignore the 1st amendment to our
Constitution and try to force the rest of us to live by the rules of their
religion.
I am disappointed that people who try to make a historical
argument about the institution of marriage have so little understanding of the
history of marriage.
I am fascinated that people of faith who quote
scripture to defend their positions seem to want to ignore all the variations
of marriage that the bible has sanctioned.
It would be funny if it weren’t so sad that most of
the same people who insist that same sex marriage should be illegal will also
insist that closing the gun show loophole or banning 30 round magazines
infringe on their constitutional rights.
Ignoring the simple reality that there is no evidence that gay marriage
hurts anyone while also ignoring the tremendous cost that we as Americans pay
every day due to the easy availability of guns in our society.
Why is this something we still have to debate?
I really don’t understand.
