Perhaps you never have encountered the world of homosexuality, but it is a permeating and persistent thought echoing through America's higher education system. At my school it is not commended, or condemned. Almost more frustrating than either. Today I saw this tweet on Twitter.
"Women deserve the right to choose what they want to do with their bodies."
I'm slightly blown away by the selfish and honestly stupid nature of this tweet. But I understand at the same time. It is an only partially selfish and stupid thought. But here were my truth thoughts of the day: (something I've been trying to do to combat the "untruth" I face day in and day out at school )
"Women deserve the right to choose what they want to do with their bodies."
Saw this on twitter today... thought to myself, yes this is true. But two things I'd like to consider. First, when moral, or physical boundaries are crossed outside action must take place. If a women were to commit suicide we would try and stop her. Why? Because it would damage her body and spirit. The same for homosexuality. This also applies to abortion, or events that disregard and degrade a woman's dignity. The same if I wanted to jump off a cliff... sure it is my body but that is just plain stupid to do. If someone tried to stop me and I screamed, "IT'S MY BODY LET ME DO WHAT I WANT", they would promptly send me to the insane asylum. The logic needs to flow both ways, otherwise it is faulty, and irrational. It is ludicrous to separate two evils and try to excuse one. We won't allow suicide, and we should not allow homosexuality, abortion, or this degrading of women. and yes, some of these "choices" you want to make really only degrade you. The exact thing you are trying to fight.
Second of all, it isn't your body. It's God's and you are borrowing it. God condemns this lifestyle in the Bible. If you are borrowing a body from Him, it seems that you should follow His guidelines for that body.
So dear women, and men of the world. It is your body, in a sense. Do as you please. But when your choices comprise moral right and your own physical health we the Christian community will, or at least should step in because that is what true love looks like and that is what we are called to do.
"What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own?" 1 Corinthians 6:19
