You Cannot Say

You cannot say you follow the christan beliefs and support gay marriage.

You cannot say you believe in Christ and ignore His commandments and teachings.

You cannot say, "I support gay marriage." and enter His Temple worthily.

You cannot say, "It is a right." when it was originally a brain defect.

You cannot say that you know what truth is and then ignore it.

You cannot say, "I believe in the bible." And then ignore what is in Leviticus 18.

You cannot say, "I love God." and then not sacrifice what you want.

You cannot say, "I trust God." and then completely reject what He is saying.

You cannot say you know what God asks of you and then refrain from doing so.

You cannot say nothing, standing idlely by and know that it is wrong.

All these things are true, for each and every one of you.

If you disagree, and you want to hurt and maim me,

Then I must have hit a point that you know to be true.

I will stand for what is right, even in your very sight.

If you think I am racist, then you don't know me.

I love the person for who they are and I reject the opinion and the blatant disobedience.

So don't you dare say that I'm a racist pig.

You obviously don't know what I'm saying.

So I implore you, to reread this poem and actually find what I mean.
