I OBJECT strongly to the attitude of Robert McNeil in describing
Christians opposed to gay marriage on biblical grounds as "weirdos"
(News, April 30).
As Bible-believing people, our lives are governed by the guidance of
Christ in Holy Scripture and, as a country, it would serve us all well
to adhere to those laws.
Nevertheless, people have drifted from God's commandments and gone
their own way. That's up to them.
But it doesn't mean a minority section of the community should have
what God first ordained changed to suit their man-made concept and
imitation of a true marriage.
Christians should not be referred to as "weirdos" in the Belfast
Telegraph. I thought more of it. It's disrespectful. Are we not allowed
to object, Mr McNeil? What if the Bible is the living word of God to
mankind, Mr McNeil? What will you say when Christ returns and you are
found to be wrong?
Anyway, the lifestyle of gay people is not the natural use of the
body and is unhealthy for it and cannot be held up as equal.
This is not about love. It's about slipping in laws that are against
God's ways. People think they can – and should – do what they want, like
errant children. My Heavenly Father says that is not the way. Follow
him.
Whether you do, or not, please refrain from insulting those who do and
have the courage of their convictions to say so.

Thanks for that Cynthia, lots to think about there.
The article that inspired this letter, on Stormont's current gay marriage debates is also quite funny - but in a good way.
Best comment: "You run your life by a collection of Bronze Age folk tales from the
middle east... no, not weird at all..."
PS And thanks to Steve (not Adam, though). x
