The Rantings of SpikeRants

Yay! So now we common people are so stoopid that we can't make our own decisions. When we do, we're told we're wrong and that we have to do the other thing.

It's not about "GAYS ARE GOING TO HELL!!!11!!" for me. It's not about whether it's right or wrong. It's not about "WE NEED THE SAME RIGHTS BUT STILL BE TREATED BETTER THAN YOU!!11!!"

It's about the will of the people.

Okay, yeah, a bunch of people are making blogs on this subject. And I tire of hearing "IT'S AGAINST GOD!!111" Who cares?!? We're not capable of making the decision. Only God is. And it's rude of you to tell people that they're going to hell because they don't believe what you believe. Would you like it if I told you you were going to hell because you thought Star Wars was better than Star Trek? If I said that you wore a red shirt on May 22nd 2010, you'd go to hell? Nah, I don't think you'd appreciate it.

"BUT SPIKERANTS YOUR FORGETTING THAT IT SAYS THIS IN THE BIBLE THAT YOU CAN'T BE GAY!!11!"

Yeah. And it also says the world was created in six days. And there was a creation of man twice. Oh yeah, read Genesis chapters one and two. They are two different creation stories. And that God was angry at the world because humans were marrying gods. And that THE ENTIRE WORLD FLOODED AND ONE MAN AND HIS SMALL FAMILY PUT EVERY SINGLE TYPE OF CREATURE ON EARTH, INCLUDING KOALAS AND KANGAROOS AND BISON AND OTHER TYPES OF CRITTERS THAT WEREN'T EVEN IN THE MIDDLE EAST ON A WOODEN BOAT AND RODE OUT THIS MASSIVE STORM FOR FORTY DAYS WITHOUT THE SNAKES EATING THE RATS AND THE LIONS EATING THE SIAMESE KITTENS.

Little far fetched, I think.

But whatever, I'm blind. I can't see the "truth." But hey, guess what? I think you can't see the truth either. The problem with "truth" is that it's in the eye of the teller. It's also in the eye of the listener. And if they don't agree, then one of them is wrong, or <gasp> going to hell.

Look, I know that you think you're doing a good thing. You're trying to save their soul. Fifty years ago, people were trying to save the soul of those "evil left handers." Five hundred years ago, people were burnt at the stake for being "witches" in the name of God.

Do you REALLY think that the God you read about, the one of love and compassion and uncaring sympathy to his children, could hate us because of who we love? I don't.

My boss and I were talking on the two hour drive to the jobsite. Was the bible written down as soon as it was related to humans? The second it was? Nope. Was it dispensed freely to the people of the world prior to Martin Luther translating it to German? Nope. It was doled out to the masses in LATIN by the priests, and the people were told what was in it. Who knows what was added to it during that time?

I want only ONE person here to come forward and answer these next questions. That one person is the only person in the history of the planet to have survived from its creation to the present day. How was the earth created? Coalescing of gases, cooling into a solid rock, with a molten middle over 4.5 billion years? Or a snap of a proverbial finger in 24 hours? How was life created on this planet? Arduous, random chance that saw two amino acids joining to form the first protein, or a snap of a proverbial finger? How did humanity come about?  Eons of natural selection, mutations, survival of the fittest and environmental changes, or that same snap?

And don't tell me "IT SAY'S SO IN THE BIBLE SPIKERATNS!!!11" Because you can't use the book to prove the book. There's only ONE person in the HISTORY of the entire UNIVERSE that can accurately answer those questions. It's God. Has He told us? I dunno. The Bible is a good guidebook. But it's been through too many hands, too many translations, too many greedy people to be reliable as the definitive doctrine on all things.

As for homosexuals marrying, if it's the will of the people, I say it's all good. Does God want them to? I dunno. I'll ask Him when I see Him. I'll also be sure to ask Him what was up with the duck-billed platypus. I mean, really. That's an odd one.

So, c'mon people. Stop judging. Live your lives by caring for one another. Not hating people because they're different. Life's too short to have heart attacks from yelling out "THAY CANT GET MARRIED BECUASE THEIR TWO MENS!!!11" Live, let live, and enjoy everything.

God loves us. EVERY ONE. He'd be heartless to hate a child because of who he or she chooses to love. (Sorry, I do think it's a choice. Humanity was propagated by heterosexual relationships, therefore that's what's in our genes.)
