No on 8

No on 8 because 8=hate!!
These people are wrong and mean. They are trying to use children to make people vote against gay marriage and what they don't realize is the children of this country need to learn about all types of people.
Christian beliefs are not supposed to be hateful and judgmental. Jesus is not going to be happy about this when he comes back... God made gay people too. Gay marriage does not affect heterosexual divorce, nor does it affect the schools or the children of straight parents who have open minds. It does, however, affect the children of gay parents and the children of church going, God fearing Americans who are teaching their children that anyone that thinks or feels differently then them are wrong and going to hell. Equality for all. No special requests, just equal rights. Is that so hard? Does the Bible really say to stand on the street corner and yell at my children in the car, does it say that gay marriage is wrong and shouldn't be legal in California? And I'm pretty sure it still says something about stoning to death an adulterer... Hmmm... that's probably not still applicable. Ya think? Wake up folks!

testing 123...

I am trying to set this thing up using my own domain name that i purchased and i am more than slightly frustrated.

The "Yes on 8" fanatics are at it almost full force. I really dislike their opinions. They are wrong in more ways than even I realize.
time to clean. more later....

Christian?

I don't dislike Christians. Some of my good friends are Christians. My brother is a Christian. I don't dislike Catholics or Mormons. I was raised Catholic, was baptized, made my First Holy Communion and I was Confirmed. I still believe in many of the things that the Catholic Church teaches including love thy neighbor and honor thy mother and father and Jesus is the Son of God etc...but there are a lot of things that I just cannot believe. I know that some of the bible stories are exactly that... "stories". I also know that the idea of Immaculate Conception is a great way to teach abstinence but I'm pretty sure that it did not happen that way.
I have heard that the "Devil" tries to trick true believers and the faithful by testing their faith with such questions about Mary and Joseph, the Resurrection, Earth's creation, homosexuality and the turning water to wine etc. This really gets my goat because I don't know why asking questions would make someone the "Devil". Asking questions and thinking logically is what God intended us to do. God, or whoever the higher power is, knew what he was doing when he gave us free thought and when he created our intelligent minds.
Going to church and listening to a preacher, minister or priest and allowing them to tell you what you should and should not think, feel and believe seems to me to be more devilish than myself who just occasionally questions my own thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Now, that does not mean that I don't have faith. I do. Absolutely I have faith. I totally believe that someone created us in the likeness of themselves, I also believe in Heaven and a Higher Power. I know that someone watches me and protects me and I am a very big believer in how you treat people determines whether or not you will be happy in the "afterlife". Karma is a major part of my belief system and I am proud to say that even my children are aware of what Karma is and how it works. Truth and Faith are words that I put a positive feeling toward. Truth, Joy and Love. These are my religion, these are my beliefs.
I am hurt by the relentless attacks from the Christians who call themselves Christian but behave like animals. They use Jesus and God as weapons. My favorite quote is: "Jesus hates the Sin, not the Sinner". I think that's the quote, anyway it is the worst thing I have heard Jesus say and I am amazed that he hates anything and sinning is really getting overused here. I mean my love for my beautiful girlfriend (who is a consensual adult in her love for me) is not a sin in God's eyes. The God that I believe in and know, he thinks I am great. The God that made me is funny and caring and crazy about me and my lifestyle. I'm sure he's not totally pleased with some of the choices I have made in my lifetime but he definitely does not think I am wrong for being gay. He knows me because he created me and because I am who I am and I don't care what the Pope (for whom I do have respect for) says or the Christian extremists, who think that I am a deviant, say. My God has treated me well and when I behave immorally or am careless with my own body and mind, he is forgiving and loving and not hateful or angry. My God doesn't "Hate Fags" or "Hate the Sin" or hate anything!! This bullshit that the hardcore Christian Right is using is the sin, they will know when (and if...) Jesus comes back and "Saves" them that their behavior is wrong and ridiculous and not Christian like. They should repent and go to confession and say a whole bunch of Hail Mary's because they way they are behaving and teaching their children about hate is unbelievable and leaves me both appalled and saddened.

can't wait

I cannot wait for the election. I am so excited and scared about the results of both the presidency and the propositions for California. I swear to green grass and gravy if the prop 8 passes and they try to revoke the right for gays to marry I'm going to scream. That's not even as important to me as the presidential decision though, that is what I pray for. Please let this republican ridiculousness end. The monsters that represent the American people right now are wrong in so many ways. Trying to change the Constitution and attacking countries that are pointless to attack and not handling the core issues that affect our country just blow me away. I am a die-hard suddenly and I have feelings toward politics that I never thought I could have. The election of this year is more important than 4 years ago and I thought that was important. If the American people don't change the party in office I fear the worst. I have a lot invested in this election and I can't wait for Nov. 4th.

Welcome to our blog

This is new and exciting and I have no freakin' idea what I'm doing. Hopefully I will figure it out soon. My partner in crime will soon joing me in my posts and we will have a joint blog that will inspire all....
