Freedom for all People

Okay, so I did it. I gave into my curiosity and watched an episode of Celebrity Rehab Season 2. Uljie mentioned this new season to me, but she never said that Rodney King was on it. In this episode, Mr. King recants the infamous horrible tragedy of racism and brutality that he was the victim of. He told of how the riots began when participants of a Gay Rights Parade decided to focus their public statement on the injustice caused to Rodney King. These are people with compassion that made a public display for the rights of man. Rights that their country won't give them. We live in a shameful America until our Rights are legally given to all. It is not the law of the land to recoil at the preference of an individual. It is not even a civil law. This is a law of Religiocity in a nation that was born with a separation of Church and State. We must not let our free religious views condemn another human being. What is a religion? A mode of rules that one prefers to follow. Religion, in a sense, is still a civil idea. It's the spiritual part of religion that makes it otherworldly. A decree of no one religion is what our forefathers were intending when they gave our country the freedom of religion. They did not condone nor condemn the gods that each religion revered. Jesus Christ, the founder of the idealogy that runs in several of this nation's religions, was of kind nature that knew the answer is love. Jesus was the answer to the seemingly hateful and fearing god of his people. Again, this version of god is in style again. Our countrymen and women must quit using Jesus in this brand of Christianity that causes paranoia. These people need our help to get through this sickness. Jesus did not hate anyone. Anyone. Jesus loved everyone. That means that Jesus loved gay people. When these gay men and women stood up to injustice and cried out for humanity they were being more like Jesus than any Right-winged Christian in our nation. And they weren't wearing WWJD wristbands. I agree with Rodney King when he said, "gays bring flavor to the world; they're some real people".
