During an on-line discussion this morning I was asked how I could presume to speak for the mind of God. Interesting question coming from someone who wa defending the right to ban gay marraige as "against the laws of nature". My response was that I was sure God did not have a vested interest in keeping gays apart let alone in their marriage concerns. My own belief is that God does not concerm Him/Her self with the political affairs of man and even less so sexually. Being told that homosexuality is against the laws of nature makes no sense to me - it happens - and it has since the dawn of the erection. Therefore it's part of nature if it exist in the mind of man - we are a species after all. I also believe that when we speak of unity (in any form) and love from our deepest truth we are speaking the language of God and that our true mind, our Buddha nature is not seperate from the mind of God. Now having said all this - I don't care if one is anti gay marraige or not, I don't wish to change someones mind or views on the act of gay sex - my one and only concern is when people wish to oppose the act of commited love between two adults. This is not political and the issue should not even be debated in politcal circles unless it's between two gay politicians who are planning their wedding. It's a matter of love, respect and the dignity of a recognize union - yes, in the eyes of God and man.
Peace,
Eric
