Replying to a comment on:
a note to the politically inactive fundamentalist christians (Free verse) by i_am_the_popsicle
even if you think that
homosexuality is a sin
even if you think that
aborting a fetus is a sin
i still say that you are making a big fuss over
what is relatively nothing,
you that potential people are dying,
and that children could be raised in houses of sin
and that the sanctity of marriage could be ruined
but none of this is new,
think of the people starving in africa,
think of the people that are brutally murdered every year
in our own country
think of them when you talk about murder
think of the children who are being raised by drug dealers,
and think of the children that are raped and abused by their parent
think of them when you talk about bad environments
think of men walking out on their girlfriends
think of the men who are beating the women
thik of the men who walk out on the wives
when you talk about the sanctity of marriage
and if you still think that abortion and homosexuality are the most
compelling problems
then good for you
at least you have thought about it
but it makes me literally sick to hear the heated debates
in your kitchen
when all that you have ever done is vote
and that doesn't do as much as we'd like to beleive
i would like for you to do something constructive to try to fight the
problems
that torture your soul
but you wont and
i understand that is not the way that our culture does things
i would like for you to see the tragedies first hand, rather than
through
your sattellite digital tv set,
but you wont
and i understand that that is not the way that our culture does things
i would like for your soul to be tortured by things
other than the pta meetings
i would like for us all to be humanitarians
but i know this would never work
because who could we then elect to office?
but, tell me, is it really to much, to ask you to at least
complain of problems that matter just a bit more,
then if two gay men are given a sheet of paper with the word marriage on
it
