an old and wise maxim: live and let live.

here's my 2c:

if you're struggling with the possibility that you are gay, don't fight it. be brave. check it out and see how it feels. i don't believe you will go to any hell other than the one you create for yourself right here in this world from your own shame and guilt and the shame and guilt bestowed upon you by people with smaller, weaker and more judgmental minds. i say, throw off the shame and throw off the guilt! be true to yourself! be who you are because who you are is beautiful and acceptable as is. sadly, not too many people have the strength or courage to actually achieve it.

the bible is 2000 years out of date. we live in the modern western world that has evolved past selling women for camels. that's not to say that the bible in parts is not relevant because it is. if you follow the golden rule of do unto others as you would have them do unto you you can't really go wrong. these days women are actually allowed to work and vote and are recognised as equal to men unlike the scriptures in the bible. see? large chunks of it are simply no longer relevant. the human race has evolved and with it human sexuality. live and let live.

where i live it has come to light in the last decade that catholic priests have buggered little boys, baptist preachers have sexually harrassed certain females in their congregations, assembly of god pastors have financially and sexually taken advantage of their parishioners, long standing and respected jehovah witnesses have committed adultery and left their wives and families. two things about this: its always been men and they have always claimed to be among the most pious of people. people are fallible. people are confused. its hard to be who you are when you have someone shoving down your throat somebody elses doctrine. you only live once and it is important that you live according to your own lights. know who you are and live accordingly. most people, especially those who belong to religious groups, do not know who they really are and so when they break down in later life, it's not surprising. conditioning should not be underestimated. it is not who you are. it's what you've been told to be. don't be conditioned. live your own life, unafraid, and live it mercifully.

fulfill yourself and feed others. be kind. how can you go wrong?

as for other people's sexuality, unless you're sitting on their lap, really, it's none of your business.

and you know what they say about people that protest too much! (they need a good buttf**king!!)
