I Couldn't Have Said It Better

A friend of mine wrote a post a while back on Proposition 2 (the Texas Marriage Amendment) and I just came across it yesterday. I know the vote is over and the amendment passed, and this is probably a mute point by now, but I think it is still worth reading and stopping for a moment to analyze our own agendas. This was my favorite part:

"Jesus seemed to link sins and sickness in a way that makes me uncomfortable. When he heals a paralytic he says, “Your sins are forgiven.” What does that mean? I don’t fully understand the connection, but I know that sin and sickness were equally birthed in a garden a long time ago, and perhaps it would help if we gave them equal care. I’m not sure what that entails; smarter people than me can make suggestions. But I was bothered that on Tuesday, I received four e-mails in one day urging me to keep homosexuals from marrying, and yet I have never received a single e-mail urging me to keep them from dying."
