wow... i have to comment this long? lol

hi OJ. i just felt like posting my comment to your July 22 post here in my blog. ang haba e gusto ko lang ipabasa. im not really into debates. i just wanted to share my insight on some people especially to those influenced by shirley phelps. lol

im not relly "pro" as i might say as in 100%... there are things kasi that i considered for them as human beings. i just wanted to point them out. :)

ive read this once and i think its too tiring when we tend to base our judgments on that book alone and not on how we see the society.

first, lets segregate the gay lifestyle and homosexuality. ill focus on the latter.

1. like on some comments, of course the "ultimately aggressed" homosexuals are kinda off. but come to think of it, do we actually allow ultimately aggressed heterosexuals? if were talking about what god said regarding sex... i interpret it as the irresponsible act itself and not because of your preference. in layman terms... common decency.

and i really see the questioning of the preference really immature. its like asking on how would lois lane's womb would handle superman's sperm. i mean... come on.

2. marriage in fact is one binding LEGAL matter. but there are different kinds of marriages. civil and uh... church. depending upon other religions... they even allow polygamy. which is in case ONE of our anti-commandments.

if we are basing it on christianity alone... i think walking down the aisle INSIDE A CHURCH is humiliating to Him. traditionally and spiritually. but when two people get to set off emotional investments and of course financial responsibilities since "love" nowadays is crushed out by media, i dont think the preference of two people same sexed or not, wanted to share their WHOLE lives to each other, a binding LEGAL contract would come in handy. we all know that some marriages fail. and surprise! they're heteros. we are not cavemans. we had a lot of phrases that actually connotes the enjoyment of happiness... and yet, we are ruled by something that our hearts may not agree?

3. pointing out on homosexuality, the bible entries, ruled out by constantine the great, flourished during the twelfth century, stated that expression of sexuality for any reason other than procreation was considered very sinful, hence the initial persecution of homosexuals. thats how it actually originated since greeks and romans were considering it as an ordinary thing. have we tried um... prostitution? pre-marital sex? honestly, have we actually tried bashing friends who had it before their marriage? if not, i think its logic-lacking.

ok. heres the big thing. i dont actually begin to question god or the bible. i respect all religions and everybody on this planet. even in mars. and funnily when galileo said that the world is NOT flat, it brought him to the Roman Catholic Inquisition under "vehement suspicion of heresy." Because Galileo's accusers claimed that it was contrary to what the Bible says.

but when a gay man is chased by a mob with torches, the witch hunt of the century should stop. because one person.. whether he/she prefers anything, has enough problems in life to face another problem of acceptance.

lets not focus on an act that will make us pop-out porn inside our minds... we are talking about people. real human beings.

and come to think of it, when one gay person asks as one discriminated nigerian does... if this world is THIS MEAN why would he want me here?

well they surely didnt ask for it.

again, im not open for any debates or arguments. my thought is finite and i just know where to stand for some of them. :)
