What really pisses me off!

Yeah that's what keeps me wanting to do something---whatever I can do---to protest or something because I wonder how many more kids have to die because they can't stop being what they are and have no support in accepting it. I have tried to find some information on the internet about instances of that happening, but for some reason haven't found anything. I keep doing different google searches, but never come up with anything. The church lecture was last Saturday, but I didn't get to go because my family needed my help, but I think I'll keep visiting the web site and keep sending messages to them (whether it does any good or not). I don't think I can stop hating them, but I won't let it consume me. I try not to focus on what I hate about them and just keep my mind on what I can do (if anything) to change things.

 

I remember when I was 4, I wanted to marry our neighbor Chrissy. She's about 6 years older than I am, I think. Anyway, when I was talking about it, my parents told me girls don't marry girls. I asked why, and they said it was because only men and women can have kids together.
Then when I was about 8, my dad rented some movies and one of them was "Son-In-Law." We never got to watch but the first few minutes of it because within the first half hour (I think it was less than that) there was a scene where two girls kissed. My dad immediately turned the movie off. I had been hearing a lot about "french kissing" and was really curious about how to do it, so later that afternoon, I told my younger sister "let's kiss," and we stuck our tongues out and started moving our faces toward each other when my grandma caught us and said "That's dirty!" and we didn't end up doing anything. Then at school I started hearing kids talking about so-and-so is gay and so-and-so is a lesbian blah blah blah and according to kids in my class to be gay meant "a boy likes a boy or a girl likes a girl." I never thought much about it because I knew I liked boys so that meant I wasn't a lesbian. Eventually I started hearing the term "bisexual" and asked my older sister what it meant and she said it meant you like both. My parents talked about how it's wrong and stuff, and so I told myself I only liked boys and whatever but once in a while I'd be walking behind a girl in the hall at school and my eyes would wander to her butt or legs or if she was walking toward me I might look at her chest a little bit and I'd think how perfect the girl was or whatever and then think "am I a lesbian? am I bi? no, I can't be, it's wrong and I know I like guys way too much to be either one." I'm not really ashamed now that I'm willing to admit to myself that I'm attracted to females, but I'm a little afraid to be open about it as well because of how my parents (mainly my dad) say it's so wrong and sinful. Fortunately I'm an adult and my husband encourages it, so I wouldn't have to worry about my dad kicking me out of the house or something because I'm on my own. But it's nice to know I have his approval, you know? I recently saw an article about this man whose son was killed in the war, and they were having a funeral for him and some church people came and interrupted the funeral, protesting and holding up signs that "God hates fags" and stuff like that because supposedly the reason God is allowing this war to keep going is because America is too tolerant of homosexuality. The man sued them and was awarded like $11 million. His son wasn't gay or anything so they had no reason to be protesting about that, whether they were in the right about homosexuality or not. They were saying something about God was happy about the soldiers dying in the war because it's God's punishment for the US allowing people to live their gay lifestyles or whatever. I thought God was a loving God....

 

God is a loving God. Those people are not loving people. By a long shot. God is allowing the war to keep going because of homosexuals in the US?? I mean its too stupid to argue with, but it really pisses me off.

 

Oh, but he IS which is why Jesus had to die on the cross because the loving God had to have a sacrifice to keep him from killing everyone and sending everyone to hell to burn and cry and suffer for eternity...so he sent his son to die a horrible death instead! Isn't that loving of him? Of course that only works for the people who "accept the sacrifice" the rest have to suffer in hell for ever. But see? He allows some people not to go to hell by virtue of human sacrifice! What a loving God! By the way, he does seem to "hate fags" and pretty much everything else he made, which is why I don't believe in him.

 

Thanks groovecookie for taking this oppertunity to bash on Christianity. You're actually more like the gay bashers then you will ever know.

 

Let's see...I bash a religion for it's hate-based beliefs,

gay bashers bash people for being who they are.....

Hmm. Yeah, I'm just like them.

Hey guess what! I AM the gay bashers. Not proud of it, but I am.

Just like I'm the all the mislead people who follow Christianity.

 

whatever dude you don't know anything about Christianity aside from what you're personal experiences have been and what the mainstream conservative church shows you.
Sorry, but I was raised as a Christian my entire life it is an inescapable part of who I am. So how are you not bashing me for being myself?? You're full of BS.

 

:chill: Should I have pretended that I was OK with those beliefs I was critisizing so as to not be be bashing you? Shit, if none of us could have differences of opinion, what could we talk about? Sounds like someone needs a hug.:hug:
