I was just doing as a do and surfing the web, and viewing certain political debates regarding LGBT rights. Just about every person that is against gay rights, whether it be to marry or to have an equal work environment, uses reference to religion and/or the bible during their argument.
WHERE IS THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE?!
I don't think that there should be allowed even the slightest inkling of religious bigotry during any political debate. The bible was written by who-knows however long ago, and we might as well have cavemen running our country. If we went word for word from the bible, blacks would still not have rights, unicorns would be real, and it would actually be possible to fit two of every animal on a boat (really?!). Why should peoples' rights be based on a 'god' that no one has any proof exists?
Go ahead, believe what you want to believe. Religion can be a good thing. Don't let those beliefs determine how everyone else should live though. The bible is not the constitution. The constitution is made to protect the citizens of this country of EVERY belief.
If it weren't for a few stupid scripture verses that state that gay acts are an 'abomination' I bet a lot more people would be more accepting and tolerant.
On a more positive note, here is an amazing story of a 7-year-old that is trying to change the world:
