I know this has nothing to do with music but I had to post this.

Please note that I only posted the link as a reference so that you can know what I’m talking about when I point out everything that is wrong about it.

The man behind this piece of writing, Matt Walsh, calls himself a Christian.

I feel someone should remind him of this line from the Bible, turn the other cheek. If someone slaps you on your left cheek, you should give them your right for them to slap. Meaning if something someone does affects you negatively, you should allow them to do it again.

He hates that people say we are not negatively affected by ‘gay marriage’ and yet he’s not turning his other cheek.

He starts off by saying that the people telling him to kill himself for being against ‘gay marriage’, or as I like to call it ‘equal rights’, are being vicious and gloating and not really depicting to whole #LoveWins stance, but he’s neglecting to realise the hate is being thrown at him for, not just being against gay marriage, but, belittling people who are.

He’s says that ‘Christians’ who don’t reject legalizing gay marriage are doing so out of fear. I believe in God, well most days, since these are the people who I’m being thrown in with when I say that, I’m not all that thrilled with the concept of Christianity, and I am proud to say I believe in marriage equality.

He said that people saying gay marriage doesn’t affect him are cowards and that’s it’s self-interest. Is he not a coward for letting his fear of what he ‘believes’ will happen now that gay marriage has been legalised affect him? Is he not only interested in his own idea of marriage that he can’t let two people of the same sex who love each other make their union legal.

He said this would weaken the idea of marriage. Heterosexual marriage has already been weaken and cheapened by people choosing to get married on a whim. Take Kim Kardashians 72 day marriage for example. She was allowed to get married to someone she obviously didn’t truly love, and then end it hours later, how has that not weaken the foundation of marriage?

He said that it was just about letting two people love each other, but it’s more than that. It’s about letting them show the world their love, about giving them that piece of paper that says the other person is theirs. He said there was no moral reason to allow homosexuals to get married, but you are denying them the same rights as everyone else, making them feel as though their love is not as important as yours. Plus it’s mean. Is that immoral enough for you?

He made homosexuals out to be depraved people who just have sex with anyone and anything they want, like they don’t care for monogamous relationships. This so wrong I have no other choice than to believe he has never even met a homosexual person in his life. Two men who are close friends of the family have been in a monogamous relationship for the entire 10 or 11 years I have known them.

Yes, I knew them as a child and manage to grow up straight. It’s a miracle. Hallelujah. *raises sarcasm sign*

He made reference to a lesbian activist who said gay people don’t even want to get married and that they just want to destroy the idea of it. I repeat, A lesbian activist. As one single lesbian doesn’t like the idea of getting married so the rest must have the same belief.

He makes repeated reference to this being a just ploy by the liberals to destroy the idea of marriage and to corrupt the foundation of American civilisation. First off, he’s clearly a conspirator and we should disregard everything he says, but also isn’t that a bit melodramatic. I didn’t realise that heterosexual marriage wrote the constitution. I thought gun laws were the foundation of American civilisation, but then I’m just an Australian and you Americans claim so many things are important to life as you know it.

He claimed that after winning the vote on Friday, that the victors went out gloating and saying vicious bloodthirsty things. All I saw, all over the world was people celebrating the fact that two people of the same sex can now vow to love one another.

The only one saying bad things is Matt Walsh. Are people getting angry at him about that? Yes. Are they retaliating? Yes. Did he deserve it? Some of it yes. Frankly there’s no excuse for wishing someone dead, but then, I believe in forgiveness and being kind to others. You know, those important things that the Bible taught that some people *cough* Matt Walsh *cough* seem to ignore.

His rant turns particularly conspiracy like when he starts saying that the government will start taking money away from the churches, but obviously that will only happen if they disregard the new law stating that two homosexual people can be married. If they break the law then the government can’t continue to pay to keep it open.

He talked about the importance of procreation in a marriage. This here really annoys me. A lot of couples can’t conceive. Are they not married in the eyes of God? God chose to make them that way, how can you act like their marriage is somehow less than yours because they can’t have children. Then there are those who choose not to have kids. Are they not married in the eyes of God?

God made us all right? Then he made gay people. He made them to be attracted to those of the same sex, to love them. He made marriage. Getting married is something you do when you love someone. So then why does it matter what gender they both are?

He said a bunch of other stuff that was also narrow minded and discriminatory but honestly, I already had enough to prove his ignorance.

And, if anyone feels the need to say “it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” Adam and Eve walked around naked until they ate the apple. Some ideas in the Bible are obviously out dated.

Sorry for the rant but I just got so angry reading this guys rubbish that I had to write something back or else I be pissed at myself forever.
