Carrie Underwood Supports Gay Marriage
US Magazine ^ | June 11, 2012 | Nicole Eggenberger

Posted on 06/11/2012 3:07:58 PM PDT by Pinkbell

It may come as a surprise to some of her fans, but Carrie Underwood has announced her support for gay marriage.

The devoutly Christian "Jesus, Take the Wheel" country singer spoke out to The Independent on why she believes marriage should be legal for all.

"As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry," Underwood, 29, explained. "I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love."

The American Idol winner was raised in a Baptist church, but now attends a non-denominational church with her hockey player husband, Mike Fisher.

"Our church is gay friendly," she said. "Above all, God wanted us to love others. It's not about setting rules, or [saying] 'everyone has to be like me'. No. We're all different. That's what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other. It's not up to me to judge anybody."

And the Christian star from Oklahoma doesn't agree with "people who use the Bible for hate."

"That's not how I would want myself as a Christian to be represented."

Ultimately, I’m more concerned with how Jesus defined and defines marriage in Matthew 19:4-6 than how a nominally Christian celebrity who’s not even 30 does. He’s my Savior, she isn’t.

Money and fame are tools of the devil. I am so disappointed to learn that she has fallen from grace and fraternizes with the devil. That she would sell her soul for fame and money. It does happen to most of them.

The only exceptions that come to mind are Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.

Frank Sinatra: I’ll tell you what you better understand! Next time you see Old Glory riding up that pole, you better sing that anthem, darling! You’re lucky you’re a chick, or you’d be nothing but a stain on the road and a crewcut. Our founding fathers went to the mat for you, baby!

Sinead O’Connor: It’s not my flag - I’m Irish.

Frank Sinatra: Oh? Well, then stay off of this stuff.. [ mimes drinking ] That’s the curse of you people. Billy Idol!

Is anyone here young enough to remember O’Conner?

Yup. Also remember k.d. lang (anti-beef) and the Chixie Dicks. None of them ever sold a record to what used to be their base again.

Carrie, it was nice knowin' ya. Checotah, OK, will not be proud.

Don’t be ridiculous. Her fan base will love her no matter what she thinks of gay marriage. She shouldn’t have even been asked. The Dixie Chicks bashed our Country while overseas. Much different situation.

WHO WHO CARES WHAT CARRIE UNDERWOOD THINKS ABOUT ANTYHING OTHER THAN MUSIC.

So after spending time in Sodom Carrie has decided she’s smarter and more loving than the Lord and that her wisdom is above God’s wisdom.

I know three girls who will not be among the cheering throngs at her upcoming Memphis concert. Her foolish comments saved me several hundred bucks!

One word - FOOL

Deep in the heart of country music lovers, this nonsense doesn’t fly.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.”

Because a lot of young people follow her (she is a role model)that are immature. Also, a lot of nominal Christians who are easily influenced and don't know the truth of the WORD!.

We desperately need to recover a biblical understanding of how God saves sinners.

It doesn’t matter what Carrie Underwood thinks. She shouldn’t have even been asked.

By her logic she must also support incest, polygamy, and cross species sex/marriage.
