Discrimination..!!

      Last night I was scrolling through Facebook and while doing this I read about Paula Deen a million times(Which I'll address a little later in my post) and then I came across a post that was so hateful that it hurt my heart. This "Christian" in one sentence stated he had respect for every human and then turned around and threw derogatory names at these people just because they didn't mold to his particular beliefs. I quote "Pansy same sex lovers" then goes on to restate he respects gays and will never be hateful?? Even going as far as saying he had gay friends...(Okay I'm sure you do) I reread this post a million times. He referred to the Bible and how the homosexual lifestyle is an abomination. I'm still trying to take this all in. I tend to forget these people still exist.
      I guess my question is?? Is he afraid that homosexual people have cooties and they might brush up against him and then he will be infected. Maybe it will be like the popular "Walking Dead" series and a gay person will walk right up to him and bite him.??? Then he too will be gay...slowly changing him as the venom works it's way through his veins. If the definition of marriage in his eyes is only between a man and woman then shouldn't his main goal be to only marry a woman??? His post was so warped to only pick and pull pieces of the Christian faith that helped him and leave out the pieces he found not fitting.
     If God himself is planning on visiting soon because of equal marriage rights then I need to have a serious talk with God. More important issues in life warrant his presence in society. Example...The slaying of innocent children, pedophiles that walk around taking pictures of our children while they are at a park, children in other countries that struggle to find food and clean water to feel their empty bellies...I could go on and on..!!! NO...We choose to be concerned with a definition to which you can define in your own life. This "marriage" word is not the only word that is defined differently throughout different households. I guess I don't have anything else to say and except thank you GOD for giving me the life I have and the experiences I have encountered to teach me that ignorance is the worst trait to have. Christians we should do a little less judging and a little more self-educating. A little less "scripture throwing" and a little more care and love for others. As we all like to say the big man upstairs will be our final judgment...So stop trying to do God's job. If your faith in him is so strong you should have full security in the fact that you to will be judged on the same platform.
    OKAY OKAY OKAY....Enough about that...PAULA DEEN PAULA DEEN...I don't know whether to say this poor woman is being chased down because the media enjoys the "witch-hunt" or to say that she deserves all of this because she is a racist. You know why I don't know what to say???? Because I don't know her...!!! None of us know her. Just because you eat her butter filled blueberry muffin doesn't mean she is your sweet ole' grandma. And just because she admits to using a racial slur in a time where circumstances where extremely different doesn't make her a racist. We have all said things in the past that do not define our overall character. HELL if that was the case all those time in high school when I said " You're retarded" is a summary of how I feel about that word today. IT MOST DEFINETLY IS NOT THE WAY I FEEL....I guess I'm trying to say I will not be swaying one way or the other because I personally do not know her. I honestly feel like she should stop apologizing over and over. As it may be genuine it now looks forced. Lay low Paula Deen...Go on a baking extravaganza. Go home bake a lot of muffins, cakes, cassaroles and etc. Load them up and take them to ppl in need. That would be a great contribution :)
        I think I'm trying to say...Live your life..love others and begin to understand that life is so much more than just you. When you do this you will find that the teachings from others will be the most valuable contribution in your life..!!! I know in my own life when I meet someone and understand them I grow and walk away with a new perspective I did not once have.
