Human stupidity and arrogance never ceases to amaze (and annoy) me.
We
are all human. Therefore, when we say "We hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created equal..." shouldn't that mean
EVERYONE? Since, "all men" is the equivalent of "mankind" which means
EVERYONE.
Am I the only one who thinks that makes sense? Am I the
only one who thinks about how we escaped from England because there was
no separation of church and state? How often Religion blinds us,
because we never follow it the way it is supposed to be followed?
I'm
sorry, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe when Jesus said to "love thy neighbor as
thyself" he was talking about killing people for being different and
denying them the right to marry and denying them food and healthcare.
I'm sorry, I missed that part of that verse.
I must've
misinterpreted the portions where Jesus spoke of feeding the hungry and
clothing the naked. And treating "the least of these." I thought Jesus
fed people, with no payment. I thought Jesus healed people, without
payment.
I thought God was supposed to be loving. Did I miss
something? Are we living in an Old Testament scenario? God in the Old
Testament; Jealous, cruel, homophobic, racist (Racism is funny coming
from God, because God is the one who created us...), etc. Do we really
want to worship someone who orders small children and women to be
enslaved or murdered?
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be offensive, but it irritates me.
And
I keep hearing Simon and Garfunkel in my head singing about Freedom
Riders, and thinking about Civil Rights and how we just keep killing
because we don't know how to love and we don't know how to accept.
I keep hearing my marriage vows and wondering why some are denied the right while others abuse it.
