The viral video showing a woman recanting her vote for Pete Buttigieg when she learnt Pete is gay is a good example of how the left has its own amount of dogmatic individuals.
It also shows that many individuals go to the ballot not knowing much about their chosen candidate.
Why did she want to vote for him in the first place?
For his policies?
Then what does being gay have to do with the presented policies she accepted in the first place?
What changes in a person’s mind the moment they learn another person is gay or lesbian?
In the woman’s case, she claims a bible passage for her reason to retract the vote.
Okay fine! These types are right, you cannot argue with that.
How can anyone argue against a person who puts on the table arguments written in the bible?
In fact, here is two passage that gives right to the woman in the video:
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. – Leviticus 18:22.
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. – Leviticus 20:13
All they are doing is following their religion and that is hard to argue against.
Why do you think she does that facial expression right after she invoke the bible idea?
Because in her mind and as well as many others, responses extracted from the bible is the ultimate word, another way of saying; “you can’t rebuke this”.
However, read this:
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. – Peter 4:8
Peter’s passage absorbs the Leviticus passage in my opinion.
As much as one can find something in favor, one can find something in disfavor, and vice versa. The bible is full of contradictions, you can verify this visually on bibviz.com and even read the contradictions in case you doubt.
Thus, since the bible is not clear and very contradictive, do like everybody else, choose and pick what fits best, especially what fits best in order for our society to move forward in civility. When you open the bible, you can end up rich, in prison, turn vile, or you can turn into a person of envy.
It is all up to you.
If a video of you goes viral, would you want to be the woman recanting her vote or Pete’s voting agent?
I choose the latter.
