So I realize I'm about to piss a few people off, but I can handle it. I consider myself to be a Christian Conservative. I believe in God and trying to follow in the example of Jesus Christ. I may be a touch Right Wing in my political views, but I'm not extreme. I believe the government should take a flying leap as they have no business in my private affairs. So let's touch on the hot button topics:
1. Gay Rights: I don't care. If you wanna get married go for it. I know what the bible says, if asked I'll tell you, but I'm not gonna preach to those that don't wanna listen. As for government involvement in this issue, I think they should stay out of it. Prior to the 1930's (1934 I think) you didn't need a license to get married, so the government had no say. The marriage license came in to effect during the depression as a way generating revenue. So while I personally don't approve of homosexuality, I will never seek to outlaw it or prevent it.
2. Gun Control: it's my right as a human being to defend myself. From who? Whoever tries to my life, rights, or possessions. Just because a few mad men use them to cause death and destruction doesn't mean I should lose my rights. My gun is a danger to no one that isn't a danger to me.
3. Abortion: don't use it to fix a careless mistake. If you are mature and responsible enough to have sex then you should be mature and responsible enough to deal with any and all consequences. When a mother's health in danger, abortion is an option. After a rape, abortion is an option. After incest, abortion is option. If you get drunk and forget the condom, abortion is not an option. Live with your mistakes, take some responsibility for the things you do.
And that's how I feel. I don't need you to agree with me, and I don't intend malicious offense. But I'm not gonna sugar coat it and I won't censor myself. I try to live right care for all around me, I don't always succeed. I don't hate anyone, may not agree with certain lifestyles, but I don't hate those individuals. Hate solves nothing, it creates pain and misery. Forced acceptance is as bad as hate, it solves nothing because it's fake. Love heals all, but only when it comes from the soul.
If you have comment or critisim, it's welcome. But keep it civil, no profanity. Let's have an honest and controlled debate, like the adults we are.
