Christianity and gay marriage

[Flake]

As a practicing Catholic, I fully support marriage equality.

I think God loves all of his children, and that we shouldn't be discriminating against a group because its unnatural although God made these people gay.

If we literally practice the bible, it says many things, three of which are that you cannot wear mixed fabric clothing, or eat lobster, or plant different plants side next to side, the latter you can be stoned to death for.

If we look at the bible as a collection of stories to live your life by, to love your neighbor, do not harm anyone, help the poor and needy, it helps guide you throughout life.

Now, I am alright with whatever religion you are. You can be a Catholic like me, a Muslim from Sudan, or someone who believes in the flying spaghetti monster, and we are all equal, and I love each and every one of you, because we are all God's children, whichever one you believe in, and whichever one is the real deal (or ones if I need say).

Which means I think as long as you are a decent human being, one who is respectful, helps the needy, and thats what being a Christian is all about.

Then there are people using quotes from the bible, from a few select disciples, and preaching hate, although God says to love each and every one of your neighbors, no matter how far away, or different from you.

They are hypocrites, speaking hate, while saying it is for the moral fabric of humankind, but if you keep hating ~10% of the population, you're invalidating a huge chunk of humanity that can or cannot be loved, based on what God made them to be, and who God loves, because you feel uncomfortable with them marrying the person they love.

In my mind, Christians should follow the steps of Pope Francis, and to support gay marriage, and to remember what being Christian is truly about.

So there's my 3 A.M. poorly organized rant about this.
