"Jesus would rather kill, not marry, gay people" - Franklin Graham

[Cecelia]

I've only recently come to realize the obsession Christians have with Same Sex Marriage. And it's rather quite simple.

Christians, by their own definition, live extremely sinful lives where greed and gluttony are abound. So to ignore their own sins, they project by taking down what they view as other people's 'sins' by the same book, thinking it absolves them of their greediness and hoping God will look kindly upon them for fighting a useless fight rather than doing something hard like facing their own inherent (and rather significant) flaws. If they didn't fight same sex marriage, they might have to actually face the fact that they're not living very well according to their own bible. Especially in the department of being charitable. So they need to compensate, so they do so by using their hatred and bigotry as a sword for their God so they can say they live a biblical life without actually having to do anything remotely challenging by believing in that god.

Of course that's because of one simple fact: Nobody truly worships God. They worship themselves. That's all god really is. When religious people look in the mirror, they see god. They won't admit it. But it's not some imaginary deity's prejudices they're following, but their own. Much like the prejudices in the bible aren't from some magic sky wizard, but are in fact from sheep herders who's system of morality was frankly lacking. Lacking so much that a 3 year old today could come up with a better system of morals. That morality, passed down through society, feeds their bigotry backed up by the idea of "God" who is apparently so loving that he'll punish you forever if you don't love him. That these people don't see that this isn't 'loving' is a disturbing thought. Made worse by the fact there are so many of them.

This is all just more proof that Christianity is not a force for good, but one for--dare I say--evil. Christians are black hearted and will do anything to justify their own actions. they just need to make sure their actions fit a very narrow and strict cherry-picked version of an ancient text written by people who thought Slavery was fine, and that women were property. Who thought it was perfectly okay to stone people.
