Same-sex weddings start with union of elderly San Francisco couple (SFGate) – the slideshow is so worth it.
Questions and quotes for the Christian protestors follow… (it should be noted that I am a Christian also, but I do not agree that same-sex weddings are bad, nor do I agree that good people go to hell for following other religious/non-religious practices that are not necessarily Christian)
Why let it turn to hate? Why insult? Why anger? What happened to “turn the other cheek” (Matthew 5:39)?
Apparently you’ve been doing this for a long time.
I’ll leave you with some quotes from our holy book (via www.religioustolerance.org):
Micah 4:3-5 “…they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hat spoken it. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.” (KJV)
Luke 9:52-56: “…they did not receive him…And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.“
1 Corinthians 10:31-32 “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:”
Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” (NIV)
