equality for all

The LGBT movement is one that, like many others, cries for equality. However, no matter how much you yell the word equality, it's never going to become true, for both the LGBT and religious side of the coin. Some Christians might be saying "homosexuality goes against my religion, and I should have a right to express my beliefs." Maybe that way of thinking would hold up if our government was still running under Christian doctrines, but it's not. Christianity is on the downfall, and a new age of secularity is rising, and it's rising fast. When it comes to homosexuality and gay marriage, Christianity already lost, and those select few mentioned earlier need to realize that Christianity is the obvious minority, and their cries for equality will be heard by no one, or rather, won't change anyone's mind. So now Christians are left with a choice. One that will create two different groups, and has been every time an issue similar to this comes up. There will be those who stand firm to their faith and stick to what they believe, and there will be those that fold to the pressures of the secular viewpoint.  They will simply adopt this new principle into their beliefs as if it was always something they thought was right. However, even this group of "true" Christians still has problems. Because the Bible teaches to be against homosexuality, many times they will translate that into a hatred for homosexuals when it should be the opposite, having a caring attitude toward them. Those churches that teach that homosexuals deserve hell for their choices and similar teachings are just another rising Westboro Baptist Church, a hate group disguised as a religion. This is a direct connection to the issue with there being equality between the two groups. How can that happen when a portion of Christians just view the LGBT community as damned souls waiting for their punishment. Without understanding for one another, there will be no change, and in the end ''equality'' will just stay an empty word to fuel the people's propagandas. 

choose what's right, or what's better?

This presidential election is not an easy walk in the park by any means. Our choices have been narrowed down to, well, not what all of us had hoped for, but in the end, someone has to be president, and people will have to choose their side, but how should one choose? What many people think is a suitable option is to simply vote for one side because they dislike the opposing, but what that creates is a one-sided mind set. "Why are you voting for Trump?" "Well, I don't like Hillary, so he has to be good right?" Sure, some of Clinton's ideas aren't the best, but neither are Trumps, so who's to decide which one is worse? Your gut feeling? This is someone who will be in charge of our country for 4 years. No matter if you support the Democratic view or the Republican, you should be willing to follow and observe both parties, and make your decision based on what you truly think would be the best decision for the nation. I am not trying to say that Clinton is Better than Trump or vice versa, but if you have that one sided mind set, then you really don't care about your choice. You can go read something negative about Trump, and with that thinking, all of a sudden you will be supporting Clinton, but for the same reason that you originally supported Trump. In the end, we never truly know how good (or bad) a president will be until they are elected, but if you are willing to let your vote be weighted solely on the fact that you oppose one's views, do some research, you just might end up voting for that person.
