*this is an old post i pulled from my myspace page, to give you all something to read :)

This is a blog that was started before St. Patricks and i just had the time to complete it. Please take a minute to read the article i'm countering www.markdroberts.com/htmfiles/archives/3.14.04-3.20.04.htm - scroll to Reflection: The Fly, Spider-Man, and Gay Marriage. (I recommend ignoring his link within the article unless u would like to read some really lofty, as in yr brain needs oxygen, and totally unfounded anti-gay rhetoric)

      I was searching for a St. Patty's type image to re-up my [myspace] page (which obviously didn't happen...yeah I'm a slacker) and in the process an image brought me to a page with a thread of articles by someone who was obviously, after the first few minutes of reading, a fundamentalist Christian. I took a read on Mr. Roberts argument on gay marriage which expressed concern that marriage is part of the fundamental DNA of society and as such changing its definition could either alter society for the better or worse and it was too early to tell which would happen. The article was well written, and the author was a self proclaimed Harvard grad. Though he was clearly batting for the opponents, the blog as a whole touched on both sides of the issue without being condescending and made points that though I disagree with were well reasoned. However there's always a flip side to every coin and I have it here.
