So me and my ace boon coon were rapping the other day and he brought up an interesting point. He asked me how I felt about gay marriages and I told him, “Nawwwwww dawg I ain’t feelin’ it, I just don’t believe in it.” After that, he told me his viewpoint about gay marriages and then we were on to the next topic of discussion. After we went about our separate business, I saw an ad of two men that were lovers that said, “We use protection, get protected” and that made our discussion jump right back into the forefront of my mind. It must have been a sign for me to discuss the topic especially at a time when legislatures are trying to pass laws across all of the states to legalize gay marriages, so here we are.

To me, I do not think gay marriages should be legalized and this is why. Religion and government are not the same. Point. Blank. Period. The government always seem to somehow try to meddle its way into religion, but they are not the same, not by a long shot. Example, if you are a Christian (I am using Christianity in my examples because that is the religion I follow, I cannot speak on other religions), the Bible says that it is a sin to kill anyone for any reason. Now the law allows for “legal killings” i.e.,”death penalty, self-defense”. Now do I think that someone who is a serial killer, who created horror and despair into the lives of the victims’ families, deserve to die under the death penalty, fo’ sho’. But as a Christian, do I believe he deserves the die? Of course not. Just because something is legal does not mean religiously it is right or accepted.

Religion and government are not the same. I come back to this point for emphasis. It cannot and never will co-exist because laws are written by man and the rules of the Bible were created by the Lord. So why do we try to intertwine these two as human beings, that is a question I cannot answer. With that being said, the real reason that gay marriages cannot exist is because marriages are a religious sanction. It’s a reason they are performed in CHURCHES by PASTORS!!! I am pretty sure people have been homosexual since the beginning of mankind. I am quite certain people were getting married way before the law recognized these partnerships. I feel as if something is a religious sanction, that are performed in churches cannot and should not be turned into a law if it is not accepted in the religion. Homosexuality is not accepted in the Christian religion, therefore I do not believe gay people can get married. To me, when you make that choice, you made the choice to not be able to participate in certain things.

Religion and government are not the same. Clearly. No debate. So let’s just stop the debate about this. I have nothing against gay people at all. What you choose as your lifestyle, is your choice, I’m all for free will. But I cannot accept something that is not allowed at all in a religion, is considered an abomination in that same religion, to be celebrated and allowed to be treated like it’s right. I did not write the Bible, nor am I the most devout Christian, I sin just as much, if not more than the next Christian. But I also respect it enough to know that I cannot go into a church, the house of the Lord and stand under God and ask for a hand in marriage from a same-sex lover. It is the same to me if you go to the courthouse to legally get married. Marriages to me should only be performed in churches because it is something you do under God, so it cannot be performed somewhere else. It is a religious sanction, so that is how it should stay. But hey that’ s just me, what about y’all???
