Yet again, Christ has been taken out of Christianity. Christ said "to love others as I have loved you." Is the denial of others civil rights an example of that? Christ said to treat others as you would want to be treated. Does this mean those who voted yes on Prop 1 in Maine or Prop 8 in California would like it if their civil rights are denied or taken away?
How many homeless and hungry children could have been feed or taken in from the harsh elements for the millions of dollars that where spent on the denial of citizens civil rights. Would Christ have feed the hungry and and taken in the homeless or would he have said denial of other citizens civil rights is more important?
The answers to these questions are simple to answer for those who truly have Christ in their heart. Indeed, it does not matter the religion, considering helping the poor as less of importance then denying citizenship their civil rights. Conservatives speak so often about how "unpatriotic" liberals are, but I ask, how much more unpatriotic can you get then to tell people, we want your labor, we want you donations, we want your taxes, but you don't get the equality that is guaranteed under the Constitution. What these people have done is not only unchrist-like, it makes a mockery of our constitution.
How people can use the name of Christ to show a lack of love and spew bigotry is beyond my understanding. The only thing I can equate it to is the shortest quote in the bible..."Jesus wept!" If people think Jesus is jumping up and down over this grievous action, then either they do not actual know Christ as they say they do, they enjoy their bigotry, they have been lied to by their spiritual counsel or they are simply in denial of the truth. May God have mercy on the soul of all you hypocrites!
May the light and love of God shine upon you and through you, now and forever.
