Gay Adoption in Ireland - Sotto Voce

This morning (Wednesday 31st January) I was watching Ireland AM programme on TV3, an independent television station here in Ireland and they ran an interview with the pro and con side of the gay adoption issue here in Ireland.

Much and all as I am in favour of free speech and the right to express such in this country, when it comes to blatant arrogance and ignorance...well no excuse can be made for that nor should it be entertained.

Whenever the person on the pro side wished to make a very practical and easily understood, the con 'bully' interrupted and attempted to denigrate it all...even lobbing in the Bible also so that we all know that gays are evil and contrary to God.

I think he needs check in with God because I certainly do not believe for one moment in a God that would make us all as we are and then allow His name to be used to condemn and discriminate.

In all of this, whether here or across the waters, one thing seems to have been forgotten and that is the children themselves and yet again, the selfishness of adults more concerned about themselves comes forth. a little bit of calm is required in all of this, respect and pure simple cop-on also.

For those who discrimiante, not just in general and especially in this situation, you would do well to remember that God made us all in our own individual way for a plan only known to Him, and would not have wished for us to be insulted, hurt, discriminated or abused in any way, shape or form by others.

He did give us also free will and choice so He cannot be blamed for the arrogance and ignorance of those who do not wish to make themselves more aware of the reality that is life for each and all of us.

Not until anyone has walked in my shoes shall I allow them to condemn me or otherwise...and in all of this there is a lesson for all....and it comes from the Gospel of St John

LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU!!!!
