So , While I was reading this news article , all I kept saying is , wow Obama is for same-sex marriage. That to me was a major shocker.
I remember when Obama first came on the scene and their was a confusion on his beliefs whether he was a Christian or practicing the Islam faith. Either way, I'm sure neither one agree's with being gay or lesbian. So I'm wondering, is he promoting gay marriage for publicity and to get a thumbs up from the gay community , or is he really for it. ( question for you guys also )
Also , I know our country was built on Christian faith , so is it "right" to give the people a right that is an abomination to Christ. Or are we not following God's rules anymore , since we live in a country of "Freedom" (Question number 2)
Anyways, my opinion to same-sex marriage and how it is being promoted across the states , is that i don't think that its right. Number one because , I'm a Christian, of course. Number two , if the whole world became gay , where would are population go.I know we can in plant sperm , egg , whatever but that doesn't always work.
Like I said before , our country was founded with the Christian Faith , shouldn't we stick to it ? You don't see the Islam countries go against the Koran, in any way. But the Again we are America and everyone is free to do "whatever they want"
I hope you let my questions marinate throughout your week and then reply to let me know how you feel .
later !
The extension of equal rights to LBGT Americans is a controversial and Constitutional issue. Religious ideology has also influenced the debate.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to passionate opinions, it is also important to make connections to the policies that result from government decisions about this issue.
What will it mean for Americans? What are the legal benefits of getting married? Why does it matter?
Here is an article about Obama's shift on the issue from May 2012:

Identify and understand the arguments from both sides of the debate. Then, you will ready to analyze the political implications. This is the work of the student of government. And the work of human beings is to respect each other. Let's keep doing both!

Well I mean honestly I sort of stand in the middle of with this issues, I don't oppose it , but per my faith I can't really say I support it either. But obama is the president of the united states so I mean he could support them simply because his views have been changed because he's the president of these people. So I think its geunine. I don't think he would upset the christian community just for a political move. I truly doubt it.
ReplyDeleteI honestly can't speak on the religious part either. I mean if people want to get married , hey so be it. As long as they pay the marriage fees just like us ! BUT I don't think they should be married by people such as pastors and things like that. I think they should only be for men and women.
Personally I think we should stick to our christian base. But I mean, we can't. I don't know , like I said I'm in the middle on both of these issues.
