Gay Marriage Allowed, Then Not Allowed … But Now Allowed Again

Have you been keeping up with the news? Days ago, a California judge struck down the ban on gay marriage. It's almost as if a monkey banging on a keyboard produced a coherent output. One hears a lot from right wing Christians about how you have to have a father and a mother taking care of kids, but they never say divorce is wrong. To me, religion or not, the marriage vow is until death, but that suddenly can be overturned for any reason and no one bats an eyelash. Usually the mother gets custody, and the father can be discarded, all under the banner of conservatism and religiosity. So it's like the boy who cried wolf. For a long time, Christians did nothing about the real problem threatening family togetherness, which was divorce, and now that the gay-marriage issue comes up, nobody wants to listen to them. They need to just get a life, and let others live theirs. Can anyone make sense of what their argument even is, in regards to the gay-marriage issue? Obviously the judge didn't. All it seems to be is hatred and bigotry against anyone that differs from the standard template of what they're brainwashed to consider right. My flaw was being TOO religious. See, you had to just be a passive observer and not get all caught up about the actual meaning of "salvation" or the notion of spending eternity in "hell", or any other doctrine for that matter. Here I was trying to teach my kids about the Bible as best I could with my limited understanding at the time, but seemingly I was focusing on the wrong verses ... or interpreting them wrong, or god knows what. So I purportedly became a danger to my own kids psychologically--and maybe that's correct from a secular standpoint, but then why was all that religious stuff pushed on me by all those around me who claimed to be following it, as well. I only found out too late that only Santa and the Easter bunny are all kids can handle. Is it any surprise I now reject any type of religious thinking? It's just absurd on its face not just for kids, but for adults as well. The thought that some imaginary being is dictating what anyone should or shouldn't do is simply idiotic to say the least, and I blame myself for having engaged that type of thinking--but at least I'm free of that slavery now.
