However news that certain groups will be organising an anti-gay marriage rally to No 10 is harassment, bullying and intimidation of individuals who choose same sex partners.
There is no mention of Jesus Christ organising anti-rallies of any sorts in the Bible. He didn't go out of his way to stigmatise, harass or intimidate people for their life choices. What he did was spread the message of love, forgiveness, repentance, peace and goodwill.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion( no matter how dented or skewed). Everyone should be allowed to practise whatever beliefs they deem believable, so long as it does not infringe on the liberties and rights of others.
The state shouldn't tell the church how it should run its affairs.
The church shouldn't cave in to the anal demands of the 21st century, going against its teachings.
Laws should not be imposed on institutions forcing them to abandon their beliefs and what they stand for. Institutions should not sideline certain groups for stigmatisation, bullying and harassment in any form.
The concept of living in harmony with mutual respect for each others different culture, beliefs and religion appears to be utopia...just like gender equality.
