Jake's+Adam+and+Steve+Journal

I chose the Adam and Steve journal because there are many conflicts in this world. This journal allowed me to be able to express what I thought was important and what issues were on my mind. Adam and Steve-Together at Last For me there are many controversial issues in the world. For this assignment we may only discuss three. To be brief I can not support gay marriage. Should it be illegal? That is not up to me to decide. However in my own code of morals I could not support it. I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. Now I can agree with life partners but, what I have come to realize is the benefits you receive as a married couple. When I learned of these I rationalized that homosexuals want to have a marriage license to obtain these same benefits. Which in today’s world I can understand. Someone is always trying to cheat the system. Another topic I have issues with is abortion. I stand on the fence with this topic. To me abortion is wrong. However if we look the revenue it brings in is sufficient to run this country. However when you create life and take it away without regard to the unborn are you not creating false god. You yourself have decided to take a life without any regard for who or what that child may become. How can we be so selfish to take the chance of getting pregnant by having underage sex or no marital sex, but the baby doesn’t fit into your plans at that time so he or she is executed. The final issue I have feelings over is the food problems in the world. In studies I have found that the united states wastes enough food in one year to feed half of the starving countries. Our own pride and greed makes us consume more food then we can handle. Thus ruining perfectly good products because it didn’t fit into that weeks diet. To me it is senseless we waste so much time producing so many food products when we never distribute our excess to those that need it most.
