Catching Up On The Current State Marriage Equality Efforts

Excuse me Par.... I'm a Christian. I happen to belong to many of the open and accepting denominations. My goodness, we even ordain gays and lesbians and have even elevated a few to Bishop. Your prejudice is showing. There are many denominations that believe that a variety of sexual identities are normal and that God has made us all different that we may learn from each other and help one another.

Actually, Par... I thought your prejudice was towards people who practice a religion. You lump them all into one big group without understanding that there are literaly, at least on the part of Christianity, literally hundreds of ways of practicing it.

Par.. Actually, the correct quote is "The love of money is the root of all evil." You should look it up. (First Timothy, Chapter 6, Verse 10). I'm tempted to be snarky and say something biting, but that would be counter productive. There are so many fundementalist Christian and so many on the extreme anti-religious/atheist bent who literally spend all their time playing "gotcha" instead of trying to find common ground. Argueing will not change minds. To change minds, one must instead change hearts and that only happens through life experiences. I gather your's had made you angry towards religion. I am not, however, willing to throw the baby-out-with-the-bath-water. There are a great many denominations who spend a considerable amount of time fighting for social and economic justice. Consider that they are not your enemies, but could be an ally in your fight for justice.
