To the Editor:
In response to Kyle Endres’s comment on Friday (about homosexual
marriages) “Whatever happened to ‘all men are created equal’?” I
believe and hold the conviction that all men are in fact created
equal, and also that all men are created to be in a marriage
relationship with a woman per God’s standards (can you even print
that word in a public place anymore, or do we still have freedom of
the press?), and since God created man and God created this
standard, I don’t see how they conflict.
I respect the fact that some people believe differently, but the
institution of marriage was created in the heterosexual arena and I
don’t believe that homosexuals have the right to come in and
redefine it. I’m guessing you probably wouldn’t want me to go
rearrange your life without your permission, and all I’m asking for
is the same respect in return. I’ve never been very excited about
what goes on in the political arena, but George W. has most
definitely caught my attention, namely because he’s not afraid to
stand up for his convictions. I may not agree 100 percent with
everything he does, but I respect him. Nobody in this world is ever
going to agree with anyone else 100 percent anyway, so yes,
tolerance of differences is necessary, but in the words of a
country song “you have to stand for something, or you’ll fall for
anything.” Find truth, believe in it and stand up for it, because
if you don’t, who’s going to believe that you really believe it?
You can’t stand up for something if you are willing to agree with
anything.
