All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do. ~Leo Tolstoy
There
was a reason I was disturbed by the same-sex-marriage law. I couldn't
really remember at the time, but now I remember it. With the knew
ruling is that same-sex-marriage is legal. This means that anyone,
anyone, who refuses service to them is counted as a criminal.
This is regardless of how your personal beliefs, or religion says for
you to do. What this effectively means is that you are forced to give
service to homosexual couples on the threat of livelihood taken away
from you and imprisonment. This basically means that the First
Amendment is broken. The Freedom of religion.
That is highly concerning. It will always be very alarming
when new laws break old laws to comfort those of new era.
To
further explain what is happening with the whole same-sex-marriage
thing, take for example a Pastor, Imam, Rabbi, or Priest. If they
followed there beliefs and felt uncomfortable about marrying a
same-sex-marriage couple in their holy places, they could be arrested
for refusing those services in their own property. Basically what
this means is that they have to let them be married in their own
building that they have paid with their blood sweat and tears or go
to jail.
While
I believe we should love everyone, people should have freedom to make choices, and since this is a delicate matter for everyone, people
should have more berth to make they're own choice. Not being forced
and certainly not being threatened or intimidated.
In
addition, gay advocates should cut the act of the whole thing being
loving. Because if your going to force people how to pray and how
they can operate their religion, that's a different kind of rainbow
of love.
In
this whole same-sex-marriage affair, many have been disgusted and
disillusioned with it. People just don't act normal any more around
the topic. While Bible bashers were offensive, now it feels like
the hunters are the hunted now with the whole gay advocates winning.
Furthermore, it would seem that what has replaced them isn't any
better.
