3. The intent
I basically believe that it all goes back to either one of two basics concepts. For us that do believe its love thy neighbor. For those that dont its follow the golden rule - do onto others as they do onto you. I believe thats thrust of nature and whatever force philosophy positve negative yin or yang approach as to whatever concept you wish to describe that applies to universal truisim.
Thats why I am for gay marriage. I dont want anyone telling me how to live or who to marry to marry thus if I do that I would be breaking a commandment of love thy neighbor. I also dont think theres anything wrong with being gay. In fact gays are people who should be treated with as much love and respect as any one else on this planet.
Thats the same way I feel about abortion or guns. I simply cannot tell anyone what to do. But at the same time I can choose not to carry a gun if I am for gun control , or not sleep with a woman if I am against a woman having an abortion. So I hope I didn't sound to cocky or offensive I really like DU and I dont want to sound like fundie.
Have a gentle and healthy day. Danny.
