[QUOTE="Paulos23, post: 75765800, member: 105225"] They should at least think about how it makes others feel and if what others do [U]really[/U] does affect them. Does it matter if SSM exists outside their church? Does it matter that people are changing their gender? Does it matter that people don't believe in their God? Sure, you can tell me I am a sinner, but it took me years for that to stop affecting me and realize I was doing nothing wrong. Or that my gay or pagan friends are fine. I am done with Christians claiming to hold the one true path and trying to whip the rest of us onto it. And that is the problem, some Christians can't stop trying to shame or punishing others. It is like that wedding cake baker that would not bake a cake for a gay wedding. Instead of finding some other way to handle it he just claimed it was his religious right to deny them a cake. What other religion does that? I know some other religious people that would either quit or figure out a way in their religion to deal with it. They take the responsibilities and consequences on themselves and not impose them on others. And that is where my anger is coming from. The few Christians that wanted to impose their beliefs on me whether I accept them or not. Well, they don't get to tell me how to run my life, not anymore. They can live their life the way they want to, but they don't run the public space or use the privilege they have had in our society. They just need to recognize they are a small part of American society now and they don't have the right to make everyone else follow their tune. [/QUOTE]
