Your thoughts on the Westboro Baptist Church

That's a good one:

 

Anyway, I believe the only reason some people are homophobic is because they are too scared to realize people's differences. Humanity has always been hateful, and, sadly, always will be.

I do not understand it either. Well, maybe theoretically I'm able to understand why some prejudiced, hateful person is afraid of homosexuality but as far as I'm concerned, homosexuality is not only harmless, but even natural (in a way ). I mean, all animals have homosexual individuals among them but I've never seen a group of homophobic cats burning a gay cat couple at the stake! That leads to an obvious conclusion that human's self-consciousness is not only a gift but a curse as well  And another conclusion, based on my fragmentary knowledge about ancient history, is that the main reason why present day society is so homophobic, is judeo-christian religion (sorry bout dat). Really, as far as I know homosexuality was something more or less accepted in Ancient Greece and I don't think anyone was killed or punished for being gay.

The original sense of the word "gay" is "happy" so I think it's time to let these people be happy in our oh so modern society. I'm absolutely positive about legal gay marriage and even children adoption as I believe that in the era of broken families and unwanted children, we can be sure that gay couple will adopt a child only because they want to raise it well and with love.

One of the worst things about religion - indoctrination of children.

 

...well not necessarily. I�ve chosen not to babtize my children, so they can make their own choice when they are old enough. I�m honest when they ask me if I think God exists and says no, but I also always tell them that there are people who believe in God and that they should make up their own mind if that�s something they want to believe in (I also read the bible to them for educational purposes). I�ll be honest and say that I would be disappointed if they chose to believe in God, but I�ll respect whatever choice they make and try not to make a fuzz about it. I think there is a big difference between indoctrination and giving your children a choice to believe in what they think is right, when they are old enough to make such a choice.
