RE: I won't be voting in the Australian same sex marriage plebiscite

in #anarchy7 years ago (edited)

We all have crosses to bear in life. It depends if we consider it a cross or a human right. I believe that God made us all with some cross or weakness. Some may be addiction, shoplifting, alcoholism, sexual polygamy, abusiveness, workaholics, etc. I have been a vendor for gay weddings and have worked with many. I have even worked in a gay nightclub, HOWEVER I am as straight as they come and will always be. Obvious i have nothing against alternative lifestyle folks. The point I am making is if we accept gay marriage as acceptable then the polygamist will want five wives and the shoplifter will want to be able to do their thing. what about the child sexual predator will want his rights too. Well where do we draw the line and by what rule do we use? Society's bar of moral code has changed much over the past 100 years. What code do we use to say what is right or not. Should we even consider God's rule of moral code as the ultimate truth of how we should be? It has never changed yet man does. What have we gained it moving the bar of social moral code? The world is still messed up. Even more so for some. We all have crosses to bear. We all have our weaknesses that does not mean we have to submit to them.

I used to think that religious arguments are dumb, recently I have been thinking about the "meta" reasons behind the creation and following of a religion, which I think gets dismissed by ...well everyone. Perhaps they were created for control or out of a way to understand the world around them. This is something that requires furhter looking in to, on my part.

However, I am happy for people to do as they please, provided they are not in violation of the non aggression principle and any individuals rights. I am aware that currently these two principles are in violated on a day to day basis and that the previous is maybe an over simplification (done on purpose for this comment).

Should we even consider God's rule of moral code as the ultimate truth of how we should be? It has never changed yet man does.

I am going to make a small alteration to the above, as food for thought:
