In the article
Properly Framing the Gay Argument, I showed the parallels between the argument
for and against homosexuality. As the debate continues to rage on (as it will)
I want to follow-up about the dangers of picking a side. What do I mean about
picking a side? Rather than looking at this through the eyes of the scripture
but instead looking at this moral issue through the eyes of immoral men and
women who claim to be purveyors of truth.
This issue has turned into a debate by political whores
on both sides of the aisle who simply want your vote. The “Right” tries to play
up its religious pedigree, simply to receive your vote. This proposes many issues.
Maybe you disagree with their policy and many of their views, yet you vote for
them and their country crippling policy, as long as they are against gays. This
is nothing new. I’ve been in the Ekklesia (church) where we were told “not to vote
for the issues, but for your conscience.” That makes absolutely no sense to
vote for a politician who undermines how you feel about issues that personally affect your life. The problem
with the Left is they play for the emotional vote. While there is a point to be
made, no one group has the God card. Secondly, we do have to treat people with
dignity. Yet, is it really about dignity or is it about votes. When it comes to
politicians, it’s about the constituency and votes; overall it’s about winning.
God isn’t silent when it comes to his involvement in governments.
