Yesterday North Carolinians amended the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage. I imagine many Christians are making a statement for their religious views, but what will this amendment really do? Will it stop same-sex couples from sleeping together?
I believe if you are a Christian it is wrong for you to engage in a same-sex relationship or to engage in heterosexual relationship with someone you are not married to. I also believe that Christians should not tell lies or cheat, etc. I believe that people that engage in these and acts are committing sin. I don't believe a person same-sex relationship is any more of a "sinner" than a liar.
The constitutional amendment in North Carolina, I don't believe will do much to stop same-sex relationships from happening. If a person believes that homosexuality is a sin; then the sins will continue even after this amendment. What the amendment does is stop them from having legal rights and that speaks to their citizenship.
I don't believe that I can tell consenting adult Americans, what they should do with their own genitals. If they are adult and a same-sex relationship aids them in their "pursuit of happyness" I don't believe we have the right to deny them legal rights that we give to other Americans.
Many of these same Christians will also say as Americans they "support the constitution" of the USA. How are you supporting the constitution by denying others their rights? Christians are responsible their sin and witness and pray for those have not accepted Jesus Christ as Messiah. We are to be salt and light. As Americans we support the constitution and every American has the right for individual happyness as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others.
