Tolerating the intolerable........

I just have to write this to get it off my chest! This whole Chick-fil-a thing is getting WAY out of hand. Let's grow up people!!

It's not a shock to any of you (or maybe it is) that yes I AM against gay marriage. I am very conservative and I stand by the biblical belief and by God himself. Now I want to voice my opinion and if yo dont like it then that is too bad......Its my RIGHT to freedom of speech and religion.

Now I think this whole thing is just stupid! Frist of all did Dan Cathy ever say that he hated homosexuals?? No, did he say that they wouldnt be treated with respect or served in his company?? No. This just goes to show you how the media and people twist words around.

Why does it matter where they donate THEIR money?? Do you know or realize that over in the middle east, they put people to DEATH for being gay?? It's actually illegal! So are you going to stop buying gas now?? Come one people GROW UP!

It just bothers me that this is becoming such a battle in our country. Dont we have more important things to worry about, oh lets just say, the ecomony, than to be fighting over this stupid stuff??

I also want to know where they get that because we are Christians and we are against gay marriage that we are hateful?? WHERE DID THAT EVER COME FROM?? As Christians it is our job not to judge OR hate. You love thy neighbor as yourself.  God doesnt hate gay people but he sure wouldnt be at ALL acceptable to their ways but tolerable b/c he loves everyone.....equally!

You dont have to like that I dont agree with gay marriage or abortion but that doesnt make me a hateful or judgmental person. Just because they choose to donate their money to companies that are against gay marriage doesnt mean they are hateful people.

I have a step cousin who is gay and married. Do I hate him?? No, do I agree with the way he chooses to live his life? No, but that doesnt mean I hate him and I TOLERATE it b/c that is what I am supposed to do. HECK my doctor is gay! (she is amazing btw) Would I continue to go to her if I hated her or her way she lives her life?? NO, but that doesnt mean that I have to agree with it. Just like you dont HAVE to agree with my beliefs anymore than I HAVE to believe in yours but do I hate you b/c you believe in abortion or gay marriage?? No! Do I judge you for it? No. I tolerate the intolerable.......

I still shop at Starbucks, target, walmart, IKEA even though I know they support gay marriage. If we all stopped shopping at places just b/c of what they believe in or where they CHOOSE to send their money then we would have some problems.

Do I understand that you choose to not eat at Chick-fil-a b/c you dont want YOUR money going to some organization you dont like? YES but lets be civil and not be so judgemental b/c right now all I see are the liberals and any other pro gay marriage people judging the "anti" gay people. You all say we are judgmental people, yes I think EVERYONE can be but that is b/c we are ALL sinners and God knows that. Does he hate us for it?? No he loves us unconditionally but he doesnt have to agree with our ways.

So lets just all get off our high horses and settle this stupid "fight" down and just learn to TOLERATE THE INTOLERABLE!
