For or Against....Is it about what we think it is?

So I have a "myspace" - and someone posted a bulletin- it was asking whether you agree or disagree with same-sex marriage. Normally I don't respond to chain stuff like that- and there were already over a hundred responses...... But for some reason I decided to post a response also. Here it is:

127. Erin C. - against- To be honest, I don't always care too much what laws get passed and such, God is in control and I'm here to show others God's love not to get caught up in politics- there are more important things in life. I cannot, however condone something that the Bible clearly states as a sin. I no more condone people showing hate to others that they consider sinners- We are to show love to them. And in response to those who say that it should be allowed because they're "in love" or because it's just "love" I question whether you really understand what love is. I question whether very much of society really understands what love is- including many people who claim to be christians, who instead are very judgemental toward others. Our version of love has become very distorted and possibly some should look into the real meaning of it before claiming it as a defense. Secondly, In response to those who said "as long as it makes them happy" I question whether they really are happy living like that. I question whether anyone living in sin ( I'm not just talking about obvious sins, or "big" sins) who doesn't know God is truly happy. We were created with something inside us that is not truly happy- not truly satisfied with all the junk and crap and pain in this life- until we know our creator, until we know we are loved by someone greater than ourselves, until we understand why we are here- and until we understand that we don't really belong here. There is something else - what we've all been longing for- what we were created for. So, no , I do not agree with it at all, I don't agree with sin at all, but we all were (sinners)- at least at some point, - We should treat everyone with the love God gives to everyone- it is unconditional. But this does not mean condoning something which is wrong. It does mean loving the person though.
