A lot of Christians seem to have lost sight of what it means to be a Christian. The rise of 'hate-crimes' makes me wonder just what Christians think we're supposed to do.
I'm of the opinion that gay marriage, and the very lifestyle, is wrong. I also believe that hating the people who disagree with me is wrong. So what do we do? If we try to stop gay marriage, they accuse us of keeping a right from them that they should have. And some people just hate them.
You should not hate anyone for being different. You should not make fun of or torment those who think or believe differently. And, contrary to what seems to be popular belief, you can disagree very strongly without engaging in hate-filled acts.
Choose better weapons, people. Hate and violence aren't getting anyone anywhere. We do have a right to speak our minds, but surely we can keep it civil, and restrain ourselves from purposely hurting someone else. We fight on the opposite sides of the battlefield, but that doesn't mean we have to kill each other.
