I do not recall being put in charge of "right and wrong" and as a Zen Buddhist I must say that is really dualistic thinking and I don't even want to go down that path. As far as people being gay, so what not my business and has no impact on me whatsoever. I have quite a few gay friends and they...
Since my religion is Buddhism and I am a Zen Buddhist I have no "belief" in anything that cannot not be weighed or measured thus reality and knowing are my guide even if I do not like the truth I accept it because it is the truth.
