Now – as a Gay Jew who doesn’t believe that Christ came back and, quite frankly, hasn’t missed him….how does the Christianist argument above (or any, for that matter) affect me?

It does not.

Thank you. Can I have my rights back, please? Now would be good.

I’m sorry to make you boiling mad, but the reason you’re so emotionally involved in this is because if Gay Marriage is legal, it is easier for you to rationalize the lifestyle you live, but which you know deep down is wrong. That government issued certificate justifies to you what you know God does not. Something in your soul is burning. There’s something missing from your life and you are trying to get rid of it.

Admit it. Deep down you still know the truth, but realize that you cannot change the way you are and the way you think. Instead you want an excuse to rationalize your lifestyle.

Stop kicking against the pricks. Truth is truth and the day of judgement is near. Perhaps you can get that same spirit back that was with you on the Mission. Remember the spirit you felt as you testified truth? It’s real. I know it. You know it. Now step down and act on it. It’ll be hard real hard, I can’t relate, but Christ can.

[Editor's Note: 1) I dunno about you, but my being valid has nothing to do with government papers, 2) I have found more peace and joy and God in my life since leaving the church than I ever found in it.]
