Hello All,
It's been a long time since I posted anything so here goes. Today I want to talk to you about hate. It's an interesting word but it's almost as overused as the word love. People say I hate to work, I hate to go to school, I hate bread pudding.... Do we really hate those things? Not normally.
That person is of the opposite political view of me so I hate them. That isn't really true either. We may not like their opinion on a subject but that's no reason to hate them. The Supreme Court of the United States recently handed down a very controversial decision on marriage and it sparked a lot of anger on both sides of the debate. Did it make you mad or upset? It did make me a little sad for a little while. Now let me say, I don't have an opinion on whether they were right or wrong. I can tell you what the Bible says but I will never tell you my opinion on the subject because it's irrelevant.
Let me say this to both sides. Stop the hate!
If you are pro gay marriage, that's your right. But stop hating on people who aren't. Just because they don't agree with your stance doesn't mean that they are against you. I was amazed at the amount of hate I heard from the far left over this issue. You can dislike a decision without disliking a person. Also, if you are on the far left, why is it that everyone else has to agree with you all the time or you get really upset? People are entitled to have different opinions than you. It's OK.
I can hear all the people on the right cheering. But slow your roll. If you are on the far right, stop judging people based on the decisions they made. Guess what. While the Bible does address this issue, it also says to judge not lest ye be judged. And the people on the left don't have to agree with your opinion either. They have a right to theirs. You still can't hate them because of their belief. It's not God's way either.
So what am I saying? Have your opinions. Have your beliefs. I wish that everyone who reads this would make the decision to make the Word of God final authority in their life. But that's not likely. But drop all the hate and name calling of the other side. In the words of a popular YouTube video - Aint' nobody got time for that.
That's another Opinion of the Minion
