Proposition 8: Who do we rely on to spread what we believe in?

Because of my moral upbringing, my religious faith and my general reasoning for populating the world by natural means, I am against same sex marriages. So how is it that I don’t have a problem with proposition 8 or people who are in or are for same sex marriages? I’ll explain.

Being a United States of America citizen, I realize that we live under the restrictions and freedoms outline in the state and national constitution. If there is a way to defend same sex marriages under the constitution, as well as any other issue that I or anyone may deem as morally or religiously impure, your opposition is not with the proposition. It’s with the constitution itself.

Freedom of speech is covered under the constitution. That gives people the right to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit. I, by my faith in Christ Jesus, am totally opposed to someone blaspheming the Holy Spirit. But I’m not against freedom of speech.

Freedom of religion is covered under the constitution. That gives people the right worship any and everything but the most High God. But I’m not against freedom of religion.

My point is this. I believe what I believe and feel the way I feel. But I’m not going to try to legally prevent someone from doing things they ought not. If I’m against same sex marriage, and I want to do something about it, I should go to my God and pray that he ministers to those who don’t believe what I believe. Or perhaps I should take the time to minister to those individuals myself. Or the unthinkable, lobby to change, amend or restructure the constitution itself to fit my moral or religious beliefs.

But to run to the government to tell it not to uphold the very document it is founded on is ridicules. I mean what’s next, a Jehovah Witnesses sponsored proposition to band the worship of Allah. Or a Christian denomination banning baptizing in the name of the father, son and holy spirit oppose to just baptizing in the name of the Father.

Bottom line, Government is not the instrument to minister to those who are not of our faith or moral beliefs. WE ARE!
