My last entry was not meant to be a homosexuality "bashing" entry.. It was meant to inform you all what is currently undergoing within our state. The entry that I posted upset me. It made me realize exactly why they think homosexuality is OK

If intelligent aliens landed on earth tomorrow, not to attack us but simply to understand the human species, what would you tell them about marriage? Would you call it a successful, fabulous institution that brings happiness to most people who engage in it? If so, how would you explain the divorce rate and the majorities of people who say they are unhappy with their spouses?
I am certainly not against the idea of committed, genuinely loving relationships between two people who love each other and want to provide a legal basis for their relationship. But let's get real: marriage as we know it is a sinking ship. The current struggle over whether or not gay people should also be allowed onto that ship evades the fact that the ship is sinking. Look around you. More than half of married people are overtly unhappy. This is why they divorce. Many more are quietly so, only not yet ready to acknowledge it to themselves or others.
"Institutions" refer to prisons, courthouses and psychiatric hospitals. Love is not a building or an abstract duty to some undefined, unarticulated notion of tradition for tradition's sake, as President Bush seems to view it. Love is the personal and mutual enjoyment of two people. Their sense of commitment flows from this love. Commitment is a consequence, not a cause. Gay couples should be happy to create their own civil unions without the baggage of existing notions of marriage. Heterosexual couples would do well to follow them."

it is not for you to judge, but for this "god" you so strongly believe in, to place judgement.
in the meantime, live your life by your morals and your beliefs and allow others to do the same.
and when it comes to you not wanting your kids growing up around immoral things, maybe you should be more concerned with the increasing gang violence in younger kids, drug usage, and promiscuous sex.
i would hope that you'd be more concerned with protecting your children from these rather than focusing all of your energy on slinging mud at the love shared between two people who are of the same sex.
and if we all stemmed from adam and eve, i believe that would constitute as incestual behaviour. also considered immoral.
