Happy Monday, my Beautiful, Love-Filled Ones!
Warning…this will come as a shock to some of you, most of you, & some of you may strongly disagree, but that's 100% ok with me! What's not at all ok with me…is all this hatred going on in this world! THIS is my STRONGEST battle against being called a "Christian" & a "Republican"…to which I am both. However…my views on each differ vastly…from the norm.
I am 100% pro-choice.
Some people (A LOT) of people…have absolutely NO BUSINESS being Parents & for those people...bringing a child into this world…is 100x's worse abuse…than any abortion in history!
What if you're raped?
Who am I to tell a victim that they HAVE to keep the product of something/someone so vile & inhumane?
Now would I/could I have an abortion…I would swear with ALL my heart that I would never, but I've also never gotten pregnant before (an age to not be able to take care of & be a fit Mother), or been raped before…so how would I know what I would do? What I would have done?
Now don't get me wrong…I think abortion is a horrible thing & anyone that has gone through it…I would bet…is still affected in a significant way…every single day…but, what if?
I can't say.
And "Christian"…telling you you're going to hell if you're gay?
Have you ever been gay?
Do you know what it feels like?
I don't, so again…who am I to tell YOU or judge YOU!
My God…the one I believe in…is 100% Love.
In EVERY form, ALL walks of life…NO MATTER WHAT!
The biggest "Christians" I know…are living in the biggest glass houses…throwing the most stones!!!
If you're a Christian…your life is your testimony…not your words, or you attending church every Sunday.
THIS picture…is UNACCEPTABLE…and I've seen about 10 too many of these to stay quiet any longer!
This my friends…this kind of hatred & pure EVIL…starts at home & results in this.
What if your Son/Daughter, Sister/Brother, Best Friend/Family Member…came to you & told you they were gay?
Would you want this to happen to them?
This makes me sick to my stomach & it NEEDS to stop!
If you believe in a God…you are taught that God makes no mistakes.
We are all made in his loving care & he made NO MISTAKES.
Being different & YOURSELF…is what makes this world go round.
The ONLY people I pre-judge are mean & evil ones!
"And be ye kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
-Ephesians 4:32
NO WHERE in this does it say, "unless you are gay, a difference race, are too skinny or too fat, etc"
As long as you're a kind & wonderful person, spread sunshine wherever you go, don't hurt or cause harm to anyone…and follow the 10 commandments…in my opinion…you are ONE HELL of a Christian & are going to the heaven I'm going to!
PARENTS…please please…teach your kids better.
I am fully aware that the Parent you are…is as result primarily…on the Parents you had, but that's no longer an excuse.
When you know better…you do better, & ALL OF US know better!
This Bible verse no longer applies…
"Then said Jesus, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…"
-Luke 23:34
We know. We ALL know EXACTLY what we do.
"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive, and ye shall be forgiven."
-Luke 6:37
Somewhere, somehow…all of this got lost in translation & it's about time…we find it again!
Life is hard enough, & we are all fighting our own battles, & have our crosses to bear…
wouldn't life be a whole lot better if we all felt like we were all in this together, and we were NEVER fighting alone?
What I loathe.
Who I am.
Again…I am deeply sorry if I offended anyone…in any way.
These are just my personal views & since this is my Blog…I feel I have a right to share them.
If you disagree with any or all of the above…the same love I preach…I practice.
I will respect you & your beliefs…100%.
Unless…you're just evil & in that case…I will judge away!
LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Or…
Sorry to put a damper on today/this post.
I'll be back to my usual sunshine tomorrow, but today…in my heart...this was necessary.
The sole purpose of this was to try to do my little part…to try to make one less person cry at night.
To try to make one less person hurt.
If you know me at all…there are 2 things I DO NOT/WILL NOT tolerate in this world…Cruelty or Injustice.
Be kind to one another.
THAT is my wish.
Whew!
The End.
Feel free to leave comments, but just so you know…this is not open for discussion on my end. These are my beliefs & nothing/no one will change them.
With ALL The Love One ♥ Could Possibly Possess,
I love this! What a great post with great insight! :) I feel the same way as you do. I'm Lutheran & I'm prochoice .. I don't agree with abortion as birth control, but in an incestual situation or rape, I would never make someone carry & birth an unwanted child .. & I'm all about loving the person you love .. Black, white, man, woman, same sex or not .. The heart knows .. I have a gay uncle and am behind him 100% .. I would never tell someone who they can or can't love .. Thank for saying what most of us feel! :)
ReplyDeletePERFECTLY said, Brittany, & I'm glad you mentioned that! NEVER do I believe in abortion as a means of birth control. NEVER. SO glad you brought that up! =) When you're "on one"…sometimes you leave out important stuff! LOL! =) Thank you…with ALL my heart…for your love, support, & for following me on my (our) little journey! I'm SO happy you're here & I'm now following you as well! =) Can't wait to get to know you better! ALL my love & very best wishes! XO

ReplyDeleteYou said it well and I am proud to know you. I was a victim of rape and got pregnant I had the abortion, I know in my heart it was the right thing to do. I never could have loved that child at all.
Thank you for not judging me.
hugs.
I wholeheartedly agree with this post. Well done on you for writing it.

You're a TRUE hero in my book & I thank you for your honesty & your bravery. In your case…I would have done the VERY SAME thing & anyone who judges that….well you know where I'd send them! =) I am proud to know YOU…are you kidding! =) I am SO SO glad you found me here, & I am honored to call you my Friend! To you, Leslie…you know I love you girl, & your endless love, friendship & support…means EVERYTHING to me! Thank you! Emily…Thank you SO much, sweet one.
