Forgive me if I am being niave here, but I didn't realise Jesus Christ was a 'straight' persons god. Actually, I am to understand that he is in fact NOT a god. Just the son of one. What about the whole "Worship no false god" thing?
I am, as you may have guessed, a gay man. I do not advertise it, I am not proud of it, I am not ashamed of it. It just means that my cock gets hard at, well, other cock. I am a man, made, as you may say, in the image of god. In what way did God, in his all-being-knowledge, make you any better than me?
I kinda had to laugh at the whole statistics thing. Would it surprise you to hear that the majority of people with sexual desires for someone of the same sex are actually too afraid to admit it? Well it shouldn't surprise you as people like yourselves are the sole reason of this fear. People like you made it taboo.
I am correct in saying that God created ALL life on this planet. I am also correct in saying that almost all species have been discovered in homosexual, thats right, HOMOSEXUAL relationships. Amazing eh? Well, amazing to a simple mind. You know, its one of the things that really annoys me, ignorance. If you have not experienced or felt it yourself, it cannot exist or is wrong in some way. Hell, white people decided to enslave anybody who physically look the same. Some of them still find it hard to get over that one physical difference, so it really isn't surprising that the neanderthall way of thinking comes into play with a psychological difference.
Don't get me wrong, I would never insult my name by calling myself a "gay-activist". I hate those idiots who, within the first few minutes of meeting them make sure you know their sexual preferences. Fair enough, gays might be discriminated against. But so is every bloody minority group on the face of the earth. And we all fall into at least one of them; blacks, Jews, Christians, red-heads.... the list is endless. What we all need to realise is that we cannot continue to go around singling out particular groups of people from the rest. The fact that you feel so passionately about gays can only suggest to me that you may be struggling with your own sexual orientation.
Many Christians turn to Christianity for the simple reason that they are confused, or afraid that they may be committing sin, so seek the 'salvation' of religion. I know this because many of my friends turned to religion for these reasons.
I belive the message that Christianity has to bring is really positive. But like the failings of most other religions, it was set up by men with the wrong intentions, and bad messages have been sent.
I understand if offence is taken, although it may not be meant. However, I would appreciate the answer of but one question. What are your views on Mary Magdelane*?
