I know that I am not a Christian, nor a devout one at that, so I probably do not understand how seriously the word of God is taken in the lives of Christians. To devout ones, issues such as abortion and gay marriage probably are far more worthy of attention than issues such as the environment, but I just do not understand this. How can you let differences in issues that clearly are all important in some way to people of your same faith jeapardize the strength of your faith? Why does everyone have to agree that the two issues they want to be unified on- abortion and gay marriage- must come before everything else? Who cares if some Christians view environmental problems more heavily above the issues of abortion and gay marriage- why is that so important, why does it cause such division? And even if there is division- why does it matter? Shouldn't the peoples' faith unite them above differences on issues that clearly are all important matters to all of them? The whole thing just seems silly to me, and I do not know why people cause issues over things that are not issues when there are so many things in this world that truly cause division and dissent among people.
