there's a lot of things going on in the world right now. as there always is and always will be but lately things are getting under my skin. so lets work on this backwards from the larger things to the more personal.
My family is largely made up of members of the LDS church. A religion that has mainly dominated my teen years and some of my childhood. I respect the church, i respect the members, and i respect the general authority. However sunday rubbed me wrong. I understand that the church has it's stand about gay and lesbian relationships, as do most of the churches. when i first joined the church i was taught that the mormon religion was tolerant to other. that "love one another, as i have loved thee" was something that we were to live by. why does that not stand here? why are we so intent to destroy the worlds and lives of others in order to push an agenda for "saving souls" i am not trying to offend anyone and i really hope that i don't. but if we are all trying to make it to the Celestial kingdom should we not worry about ourselves? should we not be more worried about our own salvation than preaching to others about how their ways are unnatural and unworthy of the love of god? MY god loves everyone. MY god wants people to be happy and live lives that are full of light and fulfillment. Let them get married. let them live normal lives and seek the things that will fill them with light and joy. who the fuck cares about what the family unit is.... what family unit?? looking around here in these times it seems to me that the new family unit is single parents who are struggling to give their children lives that have some semblance of normalcy. so instead of letting these ppl have families and enjoy the benefits of marriage we would rather support the get married get divorced lifestyle? what a load of shit.... HI i grew up in that "family unit" i had an amazing father who did everything and anything to make sure that i grew up knowing that i was loved and that we were a family. And now i am a single mother. divorced not once but twice. to each their own let ppl have a chance at happiness and stop telling them how to live their lives.
this rant will have to continue another time.... my head is so full of shit i don't even know what to say next
