Just remember, you asked.

I feel that a great injustice has been done. I found an article today about a magistrate who was forced to quit his position after speaking his mind when asked about the topic of gays. (Article is here) The sad thing is that this man, who served 30 years respectfully, was asked for personal feelings and then was persecuted for those feelings. This is a case of discrimination but not against gays. If you don’t want to hear what people have to say then don’t ask them. When you ask questions you have to be prepared for answers that you don’t want to hear. To cry about those answers is childish and unfair. What this tells me is that there is only one thought that can be had here and that is the thought of those in authority. If you disagree with the majority then you are persecuted. Forget any type freedom that you thought you had because if you happen to voice an opinion that is contrary to what is currently the mainstream then you’re not fit to live in this world. This is very sad indeed that a man who did a great job for 30 years (we can tell because he had the job for 30 years) was forced to step down because someone didn’t like what he had to say. Listen people, if we wanted we could find offence in everyone, we just have to look hard enough.
What is even more sad is that apparently the authority of who should and should not be sitting in judgment of people is not a lawyer or another judge but a “former Celebrity Big Brother contestant” I’m happy that Mr. Watkins is pleased to see that attitudes have changed because if attitudes had not changed there would be a lot more people losing their jobs. Not because they had done something wrong but because they had a mind of their own.
How do I feel about gays? I feel sorry for them. Let me tell you people: when you take a gay man or woman and separate them from the sexual aspect of their life, there wonderful people. The idea of homosexual sex is just repugnant to me and I feel that (and this is my personal belief so if you don’t like it too bad) people who are homosexual have something wrong with them. This is where everyone starts telling me that I’m a terrible person and that I deserve to die a painful death. I don’t care. I can look past the sexual aspect of a person and truly care for them but don’t ask me to like and agree with the choice to be homosexual. Either something is not right in their minds or they were taken advantage of as a child because the main reason for existence is to procreate and perpetuate the species and homosexual sex cannot accomplish this.
Oh no here comes the religion. Look out people this is where I really offend. I’m not a religious fanatic but I do believe in the Bible. Some people consider that a character flaw others believe it makes you feebleminded. Frankly I don’t care what others believe, as you can tell by this post. For those of you who call yourself Christians or any variation of that category you have to take a stand against homosexuality. You cannot sit on the fence. You have no choice because that is what the Bible tells you to do. You cannot pick and choose what to believe when it comes to this book, it’s all or nothing. Some things we have to take on faith and others are open to interpretation. Some things are black and white and homosexuality is just that. The Bible says that homosexuality is an abomination (Leviticus 18:22). For those of you who do not know an abomination is defined as a vile, shameful, or detestable action, condition, habit, etc. Some explain this reference away by quoting other scriptures in that book that mention abominations but the reasoning is flawed. Without going into mistranslations from the original Hebrew, Greek, and other languages and disregarding dietary stipulations we can safely say that these people are doing exactly what they claim Christians are doing, twisting the bible to suit their own needs. The Bible says to hate the sin but love the sinner and yes homosexuality is a sin. I am not saying go cry out in outrage against the great gay beast but certainly do not keep your feelings to yourself. Don’t hate gays, love them. Show them all the compassion that you would show any member of your family (you should be doing this for everyone regardless). But when asked, let it be known that you know that it is a sin and that it is wrong. Gay men and women, when you hear a person tell you, when you ask, that your homosexuality is wrong, don’t be offended remember that you asked.
