I wish someone was mentioning that not all Christians hold all of the same beliefs. Instead, you hear “We Christians this” and “We Christians that.” Sure, there are basic truths about Christianity, but there are also so many denominations, and so much is subject to interpretation. (Not to mention all of the horrors that have been committed “in the name of God”.) I appreciate that you clearly stated your belief about homosexuality being a sin and that you wouldn’t perform a same-sex marriage ceremony. Why in the world shouldn’t you be able to state that? There’s no hate behind it, and no malice. It is simply what you believe. And at the same time, you allow for people to have different beliefs than you. You do not hold yourself up as morally superior. (And why in the world is it that those making the argument to protect the institution of marriage don’t realize that is a completely laughable argument given the state of marriage in our society?!? Where is the humility? And how does same-sex marriage threaten heterosexual marriage? Where does the need to protect come from? So, yes…I think you’re right that that particular wheel has turned.)

Perhaps homosexuality is a sin. Perhaps there have been misinterpretations and less than accurate translations of the scripture, and it’s not. I find that it’s okay for this to remain unknown to me, and I’ll leave it in God’s hands to make that judgement. And I will do what I can do which is try to focus on my own sin and continue on with trying to love and be good to my fellow man.
