I just can't justify making civic laws based solely on my belief system. Like you said, what if my belief system wasn't the dominant view and laws were made based on another system that I didn't agree with? <br /><br />Laws should protect the rights and freedoms of people to live the way they see fit regardless of whether their beliefs coincide with mine. After all, that's why this country was founded in the first place. I was very sad to see this ammendment go through in NC. It makes it that much harder for other states to do the right thing.Jennifer M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04962587342835841240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-33263050652434861672012-05-15T16:04:52.905-04:002012-05-15T16:04:52.905-04:00Just wanted to say what a lovely posting I thought...Just wanted to say what a lovely posting I thought this was! <br /><br />As a fellow North Carolinian, I too felt strongly about this amendment and was saddened by the measures taken to see that it indeed was passed. <br /><br />I look forward to the day when the amendment will be repealed.SSChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001778380005096428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-89601744125453277092012-05-09T12:56:38.865-04:002012-05-09T12:56:38.865-04:00Thank you so much for your kind comments everyone!...Thank you so much for your kind comments everyone! I was deeply saddened to see the amendment pass yesterday. I'm even more saddened to see the hateful things being said about Christians in the wake of this. Don't fall into the trap of hating on someone just because you don't agree with them. That is not love either. I'm a Christian, and even though I don't agree and don't completely understand their views on this, does not mean I am going to disrespect them or their views and make this situation even worse. <br /><br />Ally- yes I was MAD when they played that video at church. It didn't make me question everything I've learned there because this is a secondary issue. This is NOT part of The Gospel. This is an issue where there is tension and Christians don't all agree on the interpretation and application of the Bible's teaching. After watching the video and seething while sitting there I had to forgive him. I forgave him not for his views but for indicating that we should all share them on this issue and not presenting the opposing view, and for even bringing this political issue in to church.<br /><br />OK I will shut up now but please everyone remember to be kind and do not fall in to the trap of hate. And do not let the view of some Christians on this issue cloud your view of The Gospel. This vote does not change who God is or what Christ did for us.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843610173035306667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-32115156776204949002012-05-09T09:58:04.562-04:002012-05-09T09:58:04.562-04:00Did it upset you when you pastor said that??

Every time an issue like this comes up and my church will go for it actually makes me look at them in a different light and makes me question everything I have learned there and its something I struggle with it a lot. I was just wondering if that is normal for everyone else.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258705602175139920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-70906437233001968252012-05-09T09:52:06.504-04:002012-05-09T09:52:06.504-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Aline's LBSU bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14434562437639705140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-14259328213862828892012-05-08T15:04:43.412-04:002012-05-08T15:04:43.412-04:00Thank you for this post.

You give me hope that there are some good Christians out there. :) This issue is very important to a lot of people and you pointed out some things that maybe others didn't realize. Also, a lot of times things are not what they seem. Insurance lobbyists are behind this bill because it has to do with saving them money, it was just packaged in a way to get the most votes. <br /><br />I hope people will vote with their heart, but based on facts and empathy for others. I think that is what God would really want.Jenthebeachbumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08753995311896417413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-54284569907254674352012-05-07T18:48:38.785-04:002012-05-07T18:48:38.785-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jenthebeachbumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08753995311896417413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821080959374336987.post-54680301243989891722012-05-07T10:36:57.076-04:002012-05-07T10:36:57.076-04:00Suz, I couldn't agree with you more!

I'm from Texas, but when I heard about the legislation, I was mortified by what it would do against people who are not married. Those are the real victims.Shenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990627769851765247noreply@blogger.com
