Ain't Nobody Got Time For That - Call it What it Is

It’s been a long time – I shouldn’t have left you….but at least you had a dope Whitney mix to step to. Anyway, let’s just get straight to it.  I ALWAYS have an opinion but this time it’s a mixture of religion and politics.  What is that you say, the two shouldn’t be mixed – church and state.? As long as there are Christians that vote, there will always be a mix of church and state.

At any rate, this week’s twitter timelines and facebook feeds were filled with either hate or support for NC’s Amendment One vote. Though the amendment included rights for children of unmarried heterosexual couples, rights for women in abusive relationships, privileges of boyfriends and girlfriends in hospitals among other things, many Christians saw this as an opportunity to stand up and proclaim their beliefs that homosexuality is wrong and evil. The passing of the amendment legally defines NC marriage as existing between only a man and a woman.  Gay marriage was already illegal, they just needed a law to ensure the world knew and understood that – I guess.

I am a Christian, and I believe the Lord died for my sins and I’ve made my confession. Not that that has to be shared, but I am not without sin – and neither are you my friend.  I just feel that this is a highly hypocritical stance to make it against the law for two consenting adults to not be afforded the same rights and benefits of two hetero couples. Why can’t two men get married and divorced like 50% of all other Americans? Let everyone have a shot at the institution in which so many straight people seem to fail miserably with - I’m just saying.   If we are going to establish laws against morality or things that are not of God, why just stop at homosexuality?   I’ve devised just a few things below I’d like to see the long of the law handle.

1. Low down dirty dogs in leadership roles-I know foolery crosses lines in all political parties, but these fools act as homosexuality is the only sin.  John Edwards, the favorite Democrat failure, not only cheated on his dying wife, he got the woman pregnant.   There should be some law against that.  And I’m joking here – he is human – just think why being gay outweighs lying and cheating…stupid politicians.  It’s all the same in God’s eyes isn’t it?
2. Tamar Braxton – just because. She tried to come for Miss Jill Scott. Jill innocently tweeted that Mary Mary’s new reality show is a great depiction. SHE took offense and took to twitter. Girl have three seats please. She has the appearance of a muppet and appears to be extremely vain – yet another sin. Why is this chick walking around free?  Oops, I meant free.com.
3. The title Lil for grown folks – You know Lil’ Wayne, Lil Play, Lil Kim, Lil Boosie, Lil Scrappy and a gang of others.  Ain’t nothing lil about a grown person and as a dude why would you want to be referred to as lil anything? 

Anyway, the above were just a few things I needed to get off my chest.  While the issue of equality is not a laughing matter, I just think hypocrisy is hilarious.  I love my Jesus and I realize that no one is infallible or perfect.  If we choose to serve God, there is a lot that comes with that – we can’t pick and choose which spiritual laws we decide to uphold.  I am no expert but I don’t think it works like that.  I say let people live and love as they please.  God created all of us and we all have our own crosses to bear.  Stop judging and  stop living like your stuff don’t stink.   These are my opinions and you don’t have to like it or read it.  I can only be me – the way God created me –straight – just not narrow minded.
