What would God think of his world of 2012? Probably that there are too many people that hate in his world. Hate because of the color of your skin; hate because of your religion; hate because you love someone of your own sex; hate because someone looks different; hate just to hate something or someone. Marriage has become less and less of the norm for many years not because of homosexual people, but because of heterosexual people who don’t care to work at marriage! Generations are teaching their children that marriage isn’t an essential element in having children, that it’s “just a piece of paper” and then just walk away from the relationship and fight over the kids.

Wake up Ms. McSparrin and I bet you’d find (if there were any statistics) that gay marriages probably last longer than heterosexual marriages; gay marriages DO include children and gay people are probably more monogamous in their relationships than straight folks. I believe it is ridiculous that gay people cannot legally marry someone they LOVE and are committed to. Approximately 55 percent of straight marriages end in divorce and a more bitter group of people you’ll never meet. Perhaps people should unplug from their TV’s, iPhones, video games, iPads, iPods, etc. and actually talk to each other and their children, go outside, go camping, sit down and eat together, do homework together, pay attention to their kids and maybe this world would be a different place! I thought God taught us to love everyone…don’t be a hater!
