Freedom of Belief

“In a world where political correctness has run amuck” irony thrives.  Today, people are trained and expected to not only accept but also believe several lunacies that hurt the spirit and taint the heart.  We are taught that in our free society, we need to accept all people.  However, it is this very society that oppresses freedom of expression and thought.  
I am a 28 year old who believes that abortion is murder, and gay marriage is wrong.  Most will find this is unacceptable, “hate speech” and the like.  I do NOT hate gay people! I just believe that what they are doing is wrong but I have absolutely no hate in my heart toward them.  Marriage was created by the church and therefore a religious institution.  I do believe that homosexuals can and do feel romantic love for one another but this cannot change the nature of marriage.  If we allow this to continue, what’s next?  Marriage between a brother and sister? Or why not polygamy?  The institution of marriage must be protected.
Having said all this does not make me homophobic, or a “gay basher”.  Having my own views is my right but this right is slowly fading away.  Acceptance isn’t enough anymore, is it?  People are now forced to agree with liberal thought and accept it as truth.  For example, I am asked to abandon my Christian beliefs for contemporary thought that gay marriage is natural and good.  If I say otherwise I am deemed a bigot.  This is oppression of thought, and in turn religion.  Our Judeo-Christian values are being trampled on by our media, and public education system.  People around Canada are loosing their careers because they have to strength to stand up for what they believe.

Do not be afraid to express yourself, and believe what you believe.  
Oh, and don’t forget to do it with love.
