Dear Editor,
I would like to respond to Soo Ching Pin’s letter “Same-sex marriage wrong in God’s eyes” (The Star, Dec 30).
Quoted from Soo’s, “It does not matter if Elton John and David Furnish tested their “relationship” for over a decade. Their relationship is still wrong in the eyes of God.”
I do not believe in God or its existence but I do believe that humanity is sorely lacking in compassion and love nowadays.
To see the love between two human beings being lambasted to nothingness by a supposed religiously upright person only goes to show that there are people who are lacking the ability to look at things holistically.
In my opinion the flaw is acceptable really because one, diversity is but a fact of life and two, we do need balance in this world.
However, when that handicap reduces these otherwise good people into bigots?
My how annoying can it be. So much for being holy.
Yours sincerely,
Kimberlycun
It’s not worthy of a space in The Star, but it’s worthy here, on my blog. Religious bigots are such fucktards.

So, anyone who does not agree with homosexuality is a bigot or only those who does not agree based on their religious beliefs is a bigot?
admin: they’re both bigots. but the latter case is worse when they start spinning religious beliefs and secular laws together, now that’s just stupid.

i am a Christian, i am a strong believer in God. in Christianity teaching homosexuality is wrong just as divorcing is sinful. i personally never against the homosexual and i do respect them.i have a gay friend myself.
well, they are born in such and abnormal just as the born physically disabled. who’s fault? i dare not question is God’s fault. but i do think they deserve the right of “marriage” just as the handicaped have the right of handicaped person’s special facilities.
divorce? hmmm is not right since both made the vow infront of God to LOVE each other forever. but…. what’s the point to keep the marriage when love disappear and it doesn’t bring happiness anymore?
sigh….human are human……
admin: “i dare not question is God’s fault”. If only everyone could understand that phrase. Rock on saygore.

Happy New Year.
I could write a book on your subject tonight … but won’t do it here!
Wouldn’t want to eat up your server!
I will say this - one church I used to go to, some of the guys would make comments like ‘I feel sick when I think about what gay men do to each other.’ And I’d say, ‘Well stop thinking about it.’
I worry about people who spend their time thinking about things they think are disgusting.
admin: why not? kinda miss your long comments lah! hahaha. i worry about those people too!!!

Nowadays more and more marriages last about as long as a modern Hollywood couple. The possibility of a same-sex union - based on the principles of trust, love and devotion - outliving a “normal” one is something many of these people don’t want to explore.
But if it does, what does that say about the rest of us?
admin: can’t agree more with you. reminds me of argument over whether homosexual couples can adopt children. personally, i’m all for it as long as they’re decent and financially capable people. many screwed up people are products of dysfunctional normal family (damn oxymoron lol). what makes them any better than homosexual couples as providers?

Woi, main message is to focus more on love and understanding la. So stop talking about religion can or not? Anyway, Happy Happy New Year to you Kim.
admin: yeap. it’s not a bad thing to have faith, but blind faith…sigh. only goes to show that some people are unable to stand on their own two feet or conceive their own thoughts without relying on such a thing as religion.

“…but i do think they deserve the right of “marriage”…[sic]”
In response to Saygore, “Gay Marriage” is not a right.
That being said, homosexuals can get married anytime they want, just not to each other. And so the issue is not, nor has it ever been about “rights” per say, but rather, the issue of “same sex marriage”.
Logic dictates that a “right” would not require society’s imprimatur.
admin: As can be seen today, many if not all rights are acquired through eventuality of society’s imprimatur (non-whites’, women’s, children’s, speech etc). Logic also dictates that people are generally irrational.

I happen to pop over from Kennysia.com and I notice this particular that Kim has left. It is unfortunate that media has again played a big part in stirring things up for us. I understand perfectly why some don’t believe in God because you have never understood His awesomeness or maybe a few would choose not to. However that does not mean he does not exist. God does not zero in on Homosexuals only but Sin at large. What is Sin? Anything that God would not want you to do. Consequence? Hell! I won’t go deeper in to talking about Jesus but the two words of Sin and Hell is profounding enough. The talk about Homos, Gays, Lesbians, Divorce, same sex marriage will come to nothing if you don’t understand the consequence behind it.
Many of you only see things at face value but do not go in to history to discover why there is so much dissent in to all these matters. Many of you claim to have gay friends but not many would claim to have gay friends but have come out of it to tell the story. Many of them have relationship issues.
Please do more research before anyone should make 1-point comments and forget about it. The person who reads any irresponsible and unfounded messages will be affected.
Be wise!
admin: As far as I’m concerned, whatever one does that consequently does not hurt other people will not qualify as a sin. Sins therefore are subjective, especially among non-religious and religious people.

“Sins therefore are subjective, especially among non-religious and religious people.”
Sins are not subjective among people who has a religion. In most religion, whats right and wrong is clearly stated.
In christianity, gays and lesbian are wrong. I dont understand how could some churches allow this couple to marry in the church when it is clearly stated it is a sin.
Yes true, god cant be seen but that doesn’t mean He doesn’t exist. You cant see Oxygen with your naked eye…but does it exist? God might not be visible to the naked eye but he manifested his attribute thru the creation of this world…you dont have to go far, just look how human body fuction, the endocrine system, imune system…everythin is almost perfect…it is thru this beautiful creation, we human, the people of intellect could reason the existant of God.
We are facing a problem in the society. You can see Saygore comments, he proudly state earlier than he is a christian but later he admit how he could tolerate gays and lesbian. This is a problem. If you have commit urself to the religion of christianity, then its not for you to choose what to follow and what not to. Everyone is busy talking about human right…but what happen to god’s right? ask urself that…
and another i want to say is…for most of us…we say accept it because we are not directly affected. I’m sure more than half of the people who keep on asking others to accept gays and lesbian would rethink what they say if say…their son or brother come to them with a same sex lover. Or if one day, the father tell him/her that he got a gay lover. Then i’m sure, this people would find hard to accept this and more often than not, would be ashmed to tell others. Why do u think they feel kinda shy about this? Because, maybe just maybe, somewhere in them know it is wrong…
But the people this day talk so much and support many wrong things when those thing are not happening to them personally, but if it falls to them personally…then they would rethink…
For me all i can say is, be a people of intellect and evaluate things clearly and honestly…and think the consequences if most mankind adopt this lifestyle…can you seriously tell me that theres no adverse effect from such lifestyle?
well…sorry for this long comment…hehee..cant really help it…its my first visit here…u have a nice blog i must say
admin: I appreciate where you’re coming from but I’m sorry you’re beginning to sound like Soo Ching Pin. That sin is not subjective is only what you think. I’m not convinced of god unless I see him/her with my own eyes. The wonders of this worlds are just in my opinion, results of combination of circumstances. Scientific circumstances. Homosexuality does not demerit a person’s existence as a human being. They have rights to love and especially the rights under secular laws. Thanks for dropping by

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names will never hurt me.
You can blog all you like, you can call me all the names you like, but you are never going to change my convictions against homosexuality. So don’t waste your time trying. There are better things to do with life, whether or not you believe that life comes from God.
admin: who’s trying? im just calling a spade a spade. no ulterior motive, bigot.
