soap box

Since when did using your freedom of speech and sharing your personal opinion mean you are a bigot, hypocrite, and hater?  I am so tired of all of this.  I am of the personal belief that same sex marriage is wrong and not what God intended for His people.  Does that mean I don't love or like gays and lesbians? No, it doesn't.  I have some gay friends and they know where I stand.  They know I do not agree with their lifestyle but they also know that I care about them.  I am not a bigot because I don't agree with their lifestyle.  Yes, we all sin and yes all sin is the same in God's eyes.  The difference here is when I sin I ask for forgiveness and try to change that part of my life.  I will not sit here and approve of a lifestyle that I know is wrong in God's eyes...just like I don't sit and approve of the wrong I do in my own life that goes against God's will.  God gave us free will to choose the paths we want to take and He is always waiting for us to grasp onto His hand.  I think we need to stop calling each other names because that is just as hypocritical some people are claiming those who speak their personal views to be. 

Yes, I support Chic-Fil-A.  First of all, Dan Kathy was making a personal statement of his belief, not the company's.  Yes, they are a Christian organization but they do not discriminate who they hire and they do not discriminate those who walk into their doors.  I have worked for Chic-Fil-A and it is one of the best run establisments I have ever worked for where the workers are loved and cared for and that reciprocates to the customers.  Second, we all have the right to say what we want.  It is called Freedom of Speech!  Dan Kathy was only practicing that which he has every right to practice.  Third, I support marriage  between a man and a woman. 

I am not writing this to upset or hurt any feelings.  Just getting it off my chest! I am practicing my freedom of speech.  You don't agree with it, fine!  I don't expect everyone to agree.  That is our GOD given right as an American.  We can think and feel and say what we want and shouldn't be backlashed because of it.
