Why Same-Sex 'Marriage' and Religious Liberty Can't Coexist

The stories used to justify the title of this article aren't enough to back up the claim. Anyone who is unbiased will recognize any new movement as a struggle. The gays are making a lot of mistakes in their newfound freedoms. They are not using common sense. I do believe that the only reason they are pushing so hard against religious organizations is because the religious organizations have been pushing them so hard. It's pure resentment. And people suffering from emotional resentment do not think straight (no pun).

Try fast forwarding about 100 years into the future. You will see a completely different scenerio. History has taught us this well.

Any place of worship or of business is allowed to refuse service to anyone at any time. That's a right that includes all types of people. Blacks have been known to cry racism over this right. Gays will cry discrimination over it as well for awhile. But it does not prove that same-sex marriage and religious liberty cannot co-exist. That's a reckless and unthoughtful interpretation of the evidence.

I prefer the "dont ask-dont tell" philosophy. One thinks of the military and it was created to eliminate the problem without hurting the military. After all, they might be gay but they are still just as human as anyone else. And its a positive way to end the conflict. Both sides win. I dont see religious groups working this way. It basically boils down to this. If you dont believe in Jesus, and you don't follow the rules, you will be condemned forever. That is the most polarized piece of garbage I ever spoke or heard.

There are a lot of unforseen reasons in this world why people are different and diverse. It may take a hundred years or more to recognize the cause. But it is never justifiable to judge or condemn a person for who or what they are that is different from others. Its the same as jumping the gun because maybe our minds arent intelligent enough YET to realize the true reason for the existence of homosexuality. I cannot and will not follow an idea that was written back during a time when people would have yelled BLASPHEMY if there was a mention of a telephone in the future. Even though Christians are using them today!! To follow such outdated ideas is like resetting your intelligence to that time period. NULL AND VOID.
