Some people probably want to know my views on same-sex marriage.
Here's what I believe:
1) We need to be kind to each other.
2) We don't need to agree on everything to be civil, courteous and respectful.
3) Not everyone will agree with you, and that doesn't make the person intolerant.
4) If you cannot stay civil with a friend with an opposing view, you can always weigh the options... is being that person's friend important enough? Or would it be better to cut off contact?
5) We need to put on big-girl and big-boy pants and realize that the world still is spinning.
6) We need to be kind. Did I mention that?
7) Are you being kind?
8) Christ never talked about gay marriage. But He did talk about love and respect. If you're going to assume his views on gay-marriage, then you cannot ignore love.
Where do I stand on whether people should be able to marry?
I stand on the "Be nice to everyone" side. It's a new idea which we've all probably been taught since grade-school but many of us have forgotten it.
Be nice. Be kind. Be respectful.
It doesn't matter my views if we follow the Be Nice to Everyone rule. If you cannot be nice, you can unfriend me.
