I suppose by now, most of you will have guest that religion and myself don't mesh too well. That is to say I think it's a pile of crap. Now, this doesn't mean that I hate religious people. Why would I? They're humans too, but with different beliefs to me. Doesn't mean I'm going to shut them out or anything. The one thing, though, that really bothers me about religion is the claim that marriage is a religious only thing. In this day and age, people of all walks of life, races and beliefs have adopted a form of marriage. All societies have a form marriage. Not just Christians or Jews or Muslims or whatever. The tribes of Africa have forms of marriage, often accomanied with a large ceremony including the whole village. So, why can't gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples do it? Because the Bible says it's wrong?? How do you even know the Bible is real? What about the thousands of years before the old and new testiments exsisted? Ok, I'll admit that most of my religious frustrations are directed at Christianity, mainly because that religion is the one I've had the most bad experiences with. Never in my life has a Muslim person told me what to do with my life. Nor has someone practicing Judaism, Buddism or any of the other religions (which there are many, I know). But the Christian people I've met? That is a whole different story. Might I remind the Catholic Church how many of their priests seem to enjoy sexual acts with young boys and girls? But that's ok because they'll just go to confession and all will be well again! But I digress. Back to marriage. Marriage means something completely different to each person on this earth. To me it doesn't mean that much, because I believe people to be completely capable of spending their lives together without going through the whole proccess. I don't think it adds a hell of a lot to a relationship. But for some people, I knwo it does (too bad they usually end up getting divroced...). Anyway, along with marriage comes the right to be your partners next-of-kin, and also you have a stronger hold on your parters estate should something happen to them. If, say, you are lesbian and are with your partner for 30 years when she dies. She leaves most things in her will to you, but her family were never happy with her sexualty and blame you for her being lesbian. Since you were not married, her family could overrride the will and you would be left with nothing. That. Does. Happen. It's not fair! Gay, lesbian, biselxual and transgender people love each other just as much as any heterosexual couple, so why can't they get married too? I'm fortunate living in New Zealand where our government is currently going through the throws of recognising gay and lesbian relationshisp in law. Not exactly by marriage though, but it's better than nothing... For more information on this, visit this site Please sign the petition for the Civil Union Bill and the Relationships (Statutory References) Bill Religion should not be mixed with politics. Just let everyone and anyone who wants to marry, with a ceremony and all, marry! What's the big deal? Christian "rules" should apply to Christians only, not anyone else of any other religion or no religion at all. And the same applies for ever other religion. People do things differently, that is the way the Earth works. To sign an American petition to recognise gay, lesbian, bisexual and transexual marriage, go here. America needs it because unfortunatley they have to deal with Bush. Pitty them, they're a powerful country that is turning to custard (actually, their government has always been custard, but that's another story). They need our help!
