People are brought up in the religion, probably even more than they're brought up in the bigotry, and I'd go out on a limb and say that religion gives an excuse for being a bigot more than being a bigot gives a reason to be religious.Nicole Schrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533376688765619260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358851944031961968.post-17413855897016357982011-04-07T13:51:02.843-04:002011-04-07T13:51:02.843-04:00I've had to get more optimistic as I've go...I've had to get more optimistic as I've gotten older. Mainly for my sanity. <br /><br />I do think things will improve at some point. I just wish society's views on human rights improved at a faster rate. My thinking is that religion is on its way down. That should help speed things up.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926863547368447647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358851944031961968.post-79802366178374866132011-04-06T23:47:15.592-04:002011-04-06T23:47:15.592-04:00I hope that this is the case, but I have to admit ...I hope that this is the case, but I have to admit that my outlook is rather pessimistic. Doesn't mean I won't fight for the right, but it's been a long fight already, and I suspect it'll just keep getting longer.<br /><br />At the core of it, as long as religion has its greedy fingers in the governmental pie, I doubt very seriously that real change will happen in the marriage department.Nicole Schrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533376688765619260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4358851944031961968.post-75679416270276709832011-04-06T22:56:37.792-04:002011-04-06T22:56:37.792-04:00I have an older brother that's convinced gay m...I have an older brother that's convinced gay marriage will destroy the U.S. This is funny considering his marriage has suffered from multiple problems. The last time he brought it up I flipped him the bird and blew a raspberry. I figured I'd return his level of maturity seeing as how he wasn't listening to reason anyway. <br /> <br />I still cannot wrap my mind around the idea that people have a problem with consenting adults getting married. The very idea that it bothers them boggles my mind and does more to convince me about the problems with religion. <br /><br />I have a feeling (and maybe I'm being optimistic) that this won't be a problem much longer. Things tend to improve over the decades as far as human rights are concerned. It's just a matter of pushing the issue and keeping up the good fight.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926863547368447647noreply@blogger.com
