Minding Your Own Business


As if reading the news isn't bad enough, today I drifted over into the "opinions" column with my coffee early this morning. I seriously question why I willingly read such things.
As best I can figure it is a combination of self punishment and entertainment.
But anywho, there was an article on polygamous relationships and how the legalization of gay marriage will open the door for poly families to seek the ability to legalize poly relationships as well.
The article was the same old shuck and jive bullshit. Is homosexuality a choice or is it a matter of being born as such. It brings up the time when it was illegal for interracial couples to marry...same shit that has been said a thousand ways by a million people. Yada yada yada. At this point in my life, I have read so much shit on both sides of the argument that none of it makes much sense.
I only have one question.

Why the hell do we allow the government and church to control such personal matters? And whatever happened to the separation of church and state? Does that only apply to taxation?

If people were being told what God they had to believe in, if they were being told what job they must do, if they were being told how to dress and where to live? All hell would break loose. It would likely set off another revolutionary war.
Yet for some reason a large portion of people in this country feel it is their right and privilege to tell other people they are right or wrong in how they choose to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. They feel that they have to dictate love to people they have never met once.
Most of them are religious folks, but there are a few garden variety haters and homophobes thrown in the mix. JUST the people I want to have control over my personal life.

This was a comment left on the article, a direct quote.

"What a messed up society we are becoming. More people that are willing to act like sex crazed lunatics than live a decent life. It's sick... And I blame Hollywood and our government for consenting to this TRASH! And you people wonder why there is so much "non-consensual sex" (they made me edit) , sex slaves and hate in our society. It's because MANY have no SHAME! N O S H A M E!"

Apparently those of us who choose to love anyone we damn well want to are to be blamed for every bit of crime in America. I was very tempted to ask this person to give me his/her definition of a 'decent life'. I was raised in a monogamous christian family. So if I am to believe that is a decent life, then I should also believe that being abusive and hypocritical is perfectly acceptable and something I should strive to become? Or perhaps I should join the "married but looking for someone to have sex with on the sly" folks here?
I refrained from asking, because bluntly? Shit splatters.
I love it when a self-proclaimed Christian spouts hate. I seriously doubt a third of the professed Christians in this world have even read two chapters of the bible. Like the preachers who teach them falsehoods, they take one or two verses completely out of context and then hammer them into something that suits their own needs and in no way represents the intended message.
It seems to me that we would all be better served to let people be and do whatever they want in the context of their private lives.
I don't care one way or another if they legalize marriage for poly's. I have never once in my life felt like marriage was necessary. I get where some unions are benefited in the legal sense, and I do not knock anyone's desire to be married if that is what they wish to do.
But proving my love for someone never once involved witnesses or a stranger reciting words to make that love a legal and binding contract.

I have been legally married four times. It did not make me a better person in any sense of the word. And it taught me how to hate with venom. I have been in my poly family for almost six years now. And the things I have learned about about myself and about life in general from being in this relationship are lessons I should have learned as a , things I should have been taught growing up in that pure and sanctified hetro-christian home.

So please, keep telling me about the sanctity of marriage and how allowing people to love one another is going to destroy this nation.
Because in times like these, we can all use a good laugh.

Speaking of a good laugh...I had to edit this, because of a word. A word that surely needs discussion in a place like this.
Ah Monkeys, how idiotic you are.

Here is the scary part. While I believe in much of Christianity, I do not believe anything that comes out of organized religion. There is no difference between the role of a preacher/pastor/bishop...and so on... and the ruler of a nation. They are both set in place to be a leader of a group of humans. And since all human beings are all flawed and none are above being corrupted, since both roles are heavily steeped in the world of finance. I would be more apt to believe what I am told about God by someone who has never once set foot in any kind of church, temple mosque...and so forth...

    I adore reading the opinion line section of the paper – funnier than the funnies! (Especially here in KS – sorry, but as a non-native, I need to point this out! )

    When the whole gay marriage thing comes up, I really have to wonder how insecure the opponents marriages are that THIS threatens their’s.

OMG the stupid you find in some of these replies. I worry that it might somehow be contagious.
And having lived in Topeka for 12 years, I know exactly what you mean about being a transplant to Kansas. It was quite possibly one of the most miserable places I ever lived in my life. But that was largely due to the Kansas boy I was married to lol.

My masochistic tendency to piss myself off? Hell if I know why I read such stupid shit, sometimes I think I would be better off not paying any attention to anything and just spend my time waiting for it to all blow up and blow over from the comfort of my pink bubble of sanity.
