So, the question I have been answering. What do you think of the proposed porn tax? If you don’t know what I am talking about check it out here.

I will answer to questions with this one blog and am sure on a Friday night at 11pm as I write this will have some crazy reaction to this

#1. The porn tax. This is coming to surface because of bad money management and overspending in California. They are short on money and looking at ways at producing income. This has nothing to do with the state of California not liking the porn industry.

Assemblyman Charles Calderon had proposed his bill to help
raise revenues for the cash-strapped state. Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger has forecast a $20 billion budget shortfall. He has proposed this tax before and it did not pass.

Everyone knows we are not in favour of porn. We do however have many friends in the adult industry. This tax is just not fair. Pornography is legal and in the state of California you can produce it. I do not feel that this tax can or should be enforced

#2. Yesteday the California’s Supreme Court declared gay couples in the nation’s biggest state can marry. So many people are up in arms over this because of this ruling.  My thoughts are that the people that say that this is a huge hit for traditional marriage…I don’t agree. This does not take away anyones right to have a traditional marriage. This does not mean traditional marriage is facing a threat. This gives those that want to have a same sex marriage the same rights those that want to have a traditional marriage allready have. I don’t believe this will have any effect on traditional marriage. Those that want to have a traditional marriage still are able to do that. I think gay marriage goes against what the Bible says about marriage but at the end of the day I believe that  they should have the same rights.

Romans 12:2 says:

Do not conform any
longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will
is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

People that don’t know the lord have no reason for living like those that belong to the Lord. We are suppose to stand out and live our lives as God has called us. If we believe that God has created marriage to be between a man and a women then believers need to be a test to that. Our marriages are not in danger because people that don’t believe like us want to get married.

Barna studies says Divorce rates among conservative Christians were significantly higher than for other faith groups, and much higher than Atheists and Agnostics experience.

Christian traditional marriage is in danger because Christians are not living a life that God has called us to live.

Goodnight!
