Next week is a big moment in our lives, not only is the presidential election of grave importance, we are looking at another very important election. One that takes place in California and involves Proposition 8.
This is the greatest country on earth, our constitution, our democracy, but we can't continue to deny rights to people just because those people are different than ourselves. It speaks simply of bigotry and hatred.
For years people have held up the Bible and used it to reinforce their bigotry. I remember sitting in church as a young man and hearing the preacher say that blacks could not go to heaven. I've heard the preacher say that if you don't believe everything just like me, then you aren't going to heaven. Fine so be it, let me be the one to answer to god for being true to myself. John 4:16 says "So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him."
So what's up with this hatred that people spread in the name of God??
