I was just thinking about it after I researched some related questions and saw some of the answers written by Christian people. A good deal (not all) of them seemed very poorly supported, narrow-minded, and most of all, completely lacking the love and kindness that Christ vowed we should show our neighbor. When asking myself why it could be that way, I concluded that perhaps legalism as pervaded PARTS (not all) of the church; it seems like a pretty decent, if partial, answer. I'm a Christian myself, and I have no problem with people being gay or interfaith marriages; I also don't have a problem with people who don't agree with those things. What I DO have a problem with is when people from either side are rude, hurtful, or give the reason of "Just because"--and honestly, it seems to come much more often from the Christian side. This worries me, because if a call of Christians is to live as a beacon of love, what kind of message are we communicating with this?
