People are raised under a government that promotes equality. Our nation in particular, the United States, specifically states that everybody has an equal right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. It's not like you can have a certain amount of life, liberty and pursuit right? You either have it or you don't.Equality will never happen in terms of economic class, but is pretty easy to grant equality in a purely ethical way.
It boggles my mind that people refuse to acknowledge this idea of equality. The latest social movement (maybe the last, since nearly every other type of movement has been covered), the Gay Rights movement, is the result of complete disregard of this ideal.
So long as one person's right to exercise actions doesn't infringe on another person, it is A-ok. If it does then it would be unequal because it detracts from another person's right to life and liberty and ect. I honestly don't understand why people have made such a big deal out of something so simple. It really pisses me off.
Those who were raised to believe that marriage should only be between man and woman, well they should learn that the Declaration of Independence does allow that. And yes, I give priority to what the declaration says as opposed to the Bible. This is so because the declaration is consistent in what it states while the Bible is not logical.
See, I follow theory, not stories. I would follow the Bible if its stories were all consistent in the morals it tried to teach. Theory is consistent. I absolutely will not/cannot believe only what is convenient to believe. It goes against a set of morals that I set up for myself.
There is no truth. Only logic.
