I think it's funny how if you do not have the same views as someone else you are considered close minded. The intern and I had been talking about abortion and same sex marriage. I strongly disagree with both. I think abortion is killing an innocent child of God and same sex marriage is not of God. I believe in treating everyone fairly and with respect but that does not mean I have to agree with what they are saying.
I am willing to listen but when I do not change my mind, do not be surprised. I know what I believe. I am a child of God and he loves me and loves all of his children. I do not think God loves his children any less because they make different choices.
A friend of mine is pro gay marriage and that is her choice. Am I closed minded because I do not agree? NO!!! I still like her as a person and we are still friends. We just do not talk about politics or religion.
I hate that people with convictions are persecuted. Yes, I find Glenn Beck interesting and I was reading how his family was mocked in New York. He was trying to spend time with his family and the people around him were spilling wine and calling them names because they do not agree with what he says. Liberals only believe in free speech when they are speaking. Who is really close minded?
Here is the account of what happened to Glenn:
Hoping to enjoy some time together, while taking in a showing of Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps with his wife, Tania, and daughter, Glenn and his family instead experienced an unfriendly and borderline violent scene. At one point, an angry moviegoer kicked a glass of wine into Tania’s back, and as she got up to walk away, a man shouted, “We hate conservatives here.”
If they do not like him then do not listen to his show. That is their choice. I choose not to listen to MSNBC because of its bias but I do not hate their news anchors.
In conclusion, I am not close minded but know what I believe and stand for. I am proud to be conservative and to have high moral standards.
