A Comment on Carrie Underwood Endorsing Gay Marriage & the Backlash

[eliefares]

I am not pro-gay marriage. Not for religious reasons but for reasons I will talk about later on.
The responses her endorsment has been getting are mixed between those who approve based on liberal ideologies and those who disapprove based on a twisted understanding of the bible.
The infamous verse that is quoted nowadays is Leviticus 18:22: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” Bible-nazis are taking this sentence and flaunting it around. If you don’t follow it, then you are not a proper Christian.
Well, I’ve got a few words for them. And what better words than from the Bible itself.

A True Fan of Carrie Underwood will be always a fan of her.

It is my understanding that 98 % of us fans are her fans because of her music and not her ideology. So, I am not worry !

The same can be said with John Lennon.

We consider John Lennon as a legend because of his music and NOT his Ideology --example: people considered him a legend in music even though he wrote this:

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

You do realize that the song is called "Imagine" and it's very much a fantasy song a and mind game?

That article makes entirely too much sense for haters to understand.
But, we do. Good job Elie.

I have Bible verses to Mr. anti Christian.

Matthew 24:14 Many are called few are chosen.

Matthew 7:21-23

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’
will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the
one who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven. Many will say to me on that day,
‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name
and in your name drive out demons and in your
name perform many miracles?’ Then I will
tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from
me, you evildoers!’

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to
those who are perishing. The god of this age
has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that
they cannot see the light of the gospel that
displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of
God.

Luke 13:24

“Strive to enter through the narrow door.
For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will
not be able.

I'm going to shut down every thread now. I'm so tired of all these becoming divisive and political, and reading people on here go after each other. Gave you all a number of days to say what you want already.

as far as i see it, this issue hasn't affected Carrie in a negative way.
