Not Congruent: A Response to FB Red Equal Symbol Marriage Equality Profile Picture Protest



Some good points on redefining marriage. I saw everyone changing their FB picture to the red equal symbol, and so I decided to change mine to the "not congruent" symbol. I used white text in a slate black field. http://s3.amazonaws.com/thf_media/2013/pdf/bg2775.pdf



  • D Does that mean you do not support gay Marriage?

  • me: i have some issues with it. i think my issues with it involve things that would occur after gay marriage is legalized acrossed the board - such as in regards to children, and loopholes that would now be created in terms of tax money expenditure/exploitation.

    Do i think two gays should be able to love each other - yes. (but they can do that now). i don't like the manipulation of the word marriage - either in english, or in terms of the courtroom. i think homosexuals should get a new word.

    Do i think that they should get some of the other perks associated with the nuclear family - idk. i'm on the fence; leaning towards no. i like lumping them in with single people. 

    Do i think that they are a third gender, or a new race - no. Most of my protest is to the way that they are handling this whole "inequality". I don't believe that their screaming, counter-culture, wave of coolness should judicate, eradicate, expunge, or even degrade those whose thoughts are not inline with theirs. And i don't see it as a civil rights issue - or at least not to the extent that they would see it. 

    I think it's a travesty that they compare their plight getting a marriage license with that of the African American Slave Trade.
  • A: Biting my tongue....
  • me: i know, it would have been much easier if i mentioned religion
  • A Ugh!
  • A Stop while you're ahead...
  • me: see this is where the monoculture kicks in. i know that this position of mine isn't popular. especially not with the gays. why would it be? they want what they want - and they are pretty good at getting it. 

    But you, D, asked me what i thought (es    sentially, what i believe to be true) and although i have LGBT friends, relatives, family members - and would love to be at their wedding ceremonies, i don't think i should have to jump into the BORG conversion process, just because we see things differently. 

    And, i don't think that my statements are harsh or cruel in any sense of the word. we just disagree, A. you used to be able to do that.
  • D: I think the government should not give out any marriage licences to anyone. But i do think they should give out civil unions to all people gay and straight.
  • D: I will talk to later about this and not on Facebook.

12 Tribes Means Different Inter-connective Ways To Be Christ-like.

i had a kind of realization today that God works through people. And rather than having monocultures, or having people all act the same, all grasping onto the same way of doing things, the Almighty is at work through many different ways in everyone's life. We have to come to terms with His love in our own time, and in our own way, but there were 12 tribes for a reason, and each disciple was very different in his and her personality, persona and each had a different relationship with Jesus. i think today i realized that we aren't going to fully understand the interconnectivity of it all, until ultimately we get it explained to us in heaven. What can i do with this information? And how much of an epiphany is this anyway. Well, it gives me the power to forgive with an incredible amount of energy because i don't need to figure out what the other person is working on or how God is working within their life. I just need to make sure that I am working with God in my life. I n

Faith: Small As A Mustard Seed

Matthew 17: 16-21 16  And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him."  17  And Jesus answered,  "O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me."   18  And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly.  19  Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"  20  He said to them,  "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."
