What I Think..

     I'm writing this just to get things off my chest. I'm so tired of hearing about gay marriage, etc. I believe in God. I believe I am a Christian. No, I don't go to church, but that doesn't mean I can't have a relationship with Him. I grew up in church and went to Sunday school every sunday, but as an adult I feel that I don't have to go to church for God to love me. I don't believe that you have to go to church in order to get into heaven. Whether or not you get into heaven is between you and the Lord. I believe that God loves EVERYONE. He loves gay people, murderers, thieves...EVERYONE. I believe that everyone should have equal rights. I believe that if two gay men or women want to get married then they should be able to. I believe that if two gay people want to go into a church and worship, then they should be able to without judgement. They're relationship with God is between them and God. It's not for you or I to judge. That's my opinion and what I choose to believe, but that doesn't mean that you have to agree with me. I believe that people deserve to be happy. I think people pick and choose what they want to believe out of the bible. I believe that there are people that sit in church pews every Sunday worshiping and praising knowing all the while they are cheating on their husbands or wives, yet, they THINK because they wear their skirt and their hair as high as heaven, they will automatically get through the gates of heaven. I DON'T THINK SO. What I'm trying to say is, God loves everyone no matter what and people should love others no matter their sexual preference. I do believe that God intended for marriage to be between a woman and a man, but I don't believe that God doesn't love gay people. I'm not gay, I am happily married..but, I do have a brother that is gay. I love him just as much today as I did before he came out to me. He is still the same person and God loves him just as he loves me. Don't judge people. You do not know what or where they have been or come from. Love all and respect everyone. Thats what God would want us to do. Not judge people because of what they believe. I do understand that their are plenty of people who do not agree with the above, but like I said that is their own opinion and they have a right to their opinion just like I have mine. I just wanted to get this out and off my chest. It hurts when I read hurtful things on facebook, etc. about things that people post about gays and religion. And a lot of the people posting the things call themselves christians. However, they surely don't act like it. I'm sorry if this is offensive to anyone, but this what I believe. Thanks for listening.
