It Sounds Like His Rhetoric, Not God’s

Referencing Mr. Creech’s recent admonitions about voting for Amendment One (“What Would Jesus Say About Gay Marriage? Change Could Bring the Law of the Jungle,” April 22), I do believe he’s convinced me that I want to marry my house cat.
He has exhausted me with his rhetoric about his God’s opinions about marriage.
It seems to me that his God and mine make homosexuals the same way Mother Nature makes them and lefties: About 7 percent of humans worldwide are gay and/or left-handed. And worldwide, most developed peoples are not concerned with who marries whom.
An interesting question: Was Jesus — if he did exist — a gay person? And if so, who cares, other than folks who seem obsessed with who lieth with whom?
Mr. Creech seems to have quite a curiosity about such things instead of about what Jesus is thought to have been concerned with, things such as poverty, social inequity and lack of awareness about our own Godlike qualities.
I thought Calvary Christian School was Christian. Why then is principal Creech so bound to the Old Testament? Jesus was supposed to have brought a new message of love, tolerance and benevolence.
Mr. Creech does not know what his God wants, and given that we are all human, neither do we. We have only perceptions based upon what we’ve been taught.
My house cat entertains a benign indifference to human opinion about deities. Would that I were so evolved; then I wouldn’t be writing this irritating letter to the editor.

Thank you for your contribution to the discussion, Ms. Sutton. And I always enjoy interesting questions. Can't wait to see some of the responses.

Thank you Ms. Sutton for your funny and relevant letter. I agree with you and I was very happy to see the letters against the amendment in the paper. I guess there are those who feel everyone deserves the same rights, that is why we cherish the fact that we live in America.

Hopefully if Mr. Creech meets his Sky God they can sort out all those hate issues his buddy Jesus preached were wrong.

Apparently those who would have us treat gay individuals as second class citizens believe that the the Bible trumps the Constitution.

Remember when schools forced left handed kids to be right handed? I don't either, but my Grandfather did. He was forced to write with his right hand and learned to do all kinds of things right handed. He was not truly ambidextrous.
I don't think he was gay. I'm pretty sure I'm proof of that.
He became a carpenter. And could build a house about twice as fast, so I guess he did swing both ways, just with a hammer.
You can learn a lot from a carpenter.
