Salvete. My name is Trygve Plaustrum (pseudonym), and I am into politics. I am a Christian Republican conservative in the state of California, and I look forward to sharing my views with the world (hopefully) through this blog.
First on the list: Today, the Supreme Court has ruled same-sex marriage legal in my home state. Being in California, I found that many of my friends were quite happy with this ruling. Now, I personally do not believe that same-sex marriage is biblically or ethically correct. But, ethics aside, I believe that the government has no authority to interfere with marriage. I am concerned, however, about whether or not the government will become actively involved in what defines marriage and potentially force churches and other religious institutions to marry same-sex couples against their will. Sooner or later, anyone who is opposed to same-sex marriage will be shouted down by either the public or the government. The law will be to actively support and promote same-sex marriage or face the social and legal consequences.
To Whom It May Concern:
You do not have the right to my support. You should not feel that your policies and beliefs are automatically entitled to the approval of myself, my family, my church, my community, and, above all, my God. I do not care whether or not same-sex marriage is legal (and this goes for any ruling, law, or policy). I will obey the law to the maximum extent, but I choose whether or not I agree with the law. You cannot force my opinion or take away my right to think independently. Not even God, worthy as He is, forces us to think like He does. Who are you, then, to harass someone to think like you do?
Sincerely,
Trygve Plaustrum
That wraps up my first post. I hope that you enjoyed reading, and expect another tomorrow.
