Well ill tell you where im not! im not in my bio lecture! HAHA im here in the cafe doing stuff for church trying to do my bio lab and chem lab blah blah blah KEY WORDS IS TRYING :D
So the elections are over and you know what congrats to Barack Obama on being the 44th President. The elections are over so there no point hating or talking smack cuz at the end of the day Obama is our President. And as i have learned through the passed week. If we PRAYED as much as we COMPLAINED about this country and its leadership and govenment. This country, government and its leaders would be a lot better off. So all i can say is everyone please pray for obama, it says in the bible to pray for our leaders, even if we dont agree with some of their beliefs, we are still under them so we must pray that God will guide him into making the right decisions.
At least we won 1 battle, Prop 8. These passed few months have really challenged my belief system especially because this. ive seen so many arguements for and against and studied it pretty well and have realized flaws on both sides but mostly of the No on prop 8 side. I have tremendous respect for all those who have down their research. As long as you know about the subject and done your own thinking then kudos to you. Its those ignorant ones that just follow the media and who ever else they listen to and believe everything they say. Im not only talking about the No on prop 8 but also the yes. Ive learned through my cousin carol that we as christians really need to look into these types of matters and not follow what the religious institution says we must follow. My pastors are always telling me "dont take my word for it look it up in the scripture to see its biblical and im not just blowing smoke".
I assure you i have looked through both sides and its still obvious that prop 8 is the right choice. If you you look at the CALIFORNIA FAMILY CODE SECTION 297.5 it clearly states
"297.5. (a) Registered domestic partners shall have the same rights,
protections, and benefits, and shall be subject to the same
responsibilities, obligations, and duties under law, whether they
derive from statutes, administrative regulations, court rules,
government policies, common law, or any other provisions or sources
of law, as are granted to and imposed upon spouses."
So please someone tell me what is it about, If they have the same "rights" as a married couple already what is it about? is it all for the name? i really dont understand whats the purpose. Because if it were to pass and people tried to get married in churches where they were refused, it becomes a descrimination law suit and obviously the church loses. How is a church supposed to do something that clearly states in the bible we can not do because it is sin. Are they not imposing their beliefs and values unto us? And dont anyone tell me that would have never happened cuz it already did in a few states in the east coast. Churches have lost their tax benefits because they were sued because of descrimination for not marrying a gay couple.
Man i get so heated with this arguement. i have so many thoughts running through my head. i gotta calm down.
Ok so i dont mean to sound like a super anti gay activists, because truth be told i was really against prop 8, i realized because of the whole seperation between church and state, under that law we really have no say as a church because it becomes a civil rights issure no an ethical issue. But when i found section 297.5 it all changed because they all have the same rights already so i realy dont understand what all the fuss is about. If someone can explain please do!
Ok im done blogging its tiring, to think so much peace!
