Well, there's nothing that gets my knickers in a knot like prejudice , and by the way, the board is predominantly hard-core Christians (!) so I found it particularly repugnant coming from someone who claims to "love baby Jesus."
So I sent my own little message, saying that Jesus would be appalled by such bigotry etc, etc...and now the right wing Christians are duking it out with the Christians who accept gays! There seem to be an equal number on each side. I am relieved that not all the Christians on the site are stuck in the Old Testament, but I worry about the ones that are, and what they will be teaching their kids. To suggest that a loving gay couple is not fit to care for a foster child is disgusting. Boy, I guess I am still angry. Believe me, I have nothing against Christians per se (I was raised Catholic, and was even baptised as a Baptist when I first got sober, before eventually i found Buddhism, which seems to be a better fit for me.) But I can't help it, that holier than thou attitude makes me ill. I have many, many gay friends who would never dream of judging someone by their race, sex, religion or sexual orientation! And yet some people who claim to be so pure and Christ-like are anything but. It's really depressing.
Oh well, tomorrow I am getting some of the sacred herb - and I shall smoke it until I feel peaceful and forgiving again..:jointsmile:
I know exactly how you feel. I'm not against people believing, but when it comes down to judgment, something that the bible says NOT to do, then it becomes a hypocritical situation, which then makes me angry. I find the hardcore believers to be very judgmental. They will judge you just by the way you dress. You dress in black, oh, they must be Satanists...you listen to heavy music, oh, they must be evil. You smoke cannabis, oh, that's evil. Like, you know, fuck you. :S4:

Back to the main topic though, about gay people being "wrong." I have nothing against people being gay, why should I care what someones sexual pref. is? I don't really care, you know.

My brother and his wife are hardcore Christians. The funny thing is, my brother used to listen to NIn and Marilyn Manson until he met her, and now, I can't even joke with him without God coming into the picture. He finds everything evil. Movies are evil, CSI is evil, cannabis is evil, and mainly, being gay is EVil!

We were watching TV one day, and I noticed Brokeback Mountain was on. I made a joke and said we should watch it. A joke he cannot take...he then proceeded to go on saying it was wrong, and that when a gay couple raises a child, it will become a serial killer or crazy. I was very mad when he said this and I told him right the fuck off. I then told him that Charles Manson grew up in a christian household, along with Dahmer as well, and I mean, those 2 are the sickest killers around.

Before I moved away from Alberta, I read a story about a Morman family. I went to school with 2 of the kids, and it was a big family, like 13 kids. I read in the paper that 2 of the boys are now facing charges because they raped a girl.

Oh wait, I thought religious households were a good thing. :S4: Fuck that and fuck all you extreme believers. Pull your head out of your ass. There is no magic man in the sky guiding you through life. It is a fairy tale story that is not believeable, and they call us crazy?! Out of 10 billion people in this world, they think God has chosen them. Give me a break.

Anyways, I've gone long enough. Look at the middle East. These are people who strongly believe in a God and look at the state of that country. We let the christians take over, and that's how we'll be too. Fighting over who's god is better.
