I just thought I should say this...?

Question

I recently (very recently in fact) posted two "questions" that were potentially very offensive and felt that I should explain my actions.

I posted those posts for three reasons, first out of my own curiosity to see how people would respond and on that my own beliefs were upheld, people responded to my hate with hate.

I was dissapointed, I had hoped (but not expected) that people would respond the way that the Bible teaches, which is with love and tolerance.

If I was anyone else, it could've been viewed as just fueling the fire. I'm just not like that though.

The Holocaust comment on my second "question" was out of place, but I only put it there as a response to someones previous comment.

The second reason was I was really curious whether someone actually thought they had a "cure" to something that they were against. I couldn't understand what Christianity or anyone against GLBT people could gain by spreading how bad it was without providing an alternative with a clear set of instructions on how to get there.

And thridly I wanted someone to tell me not all Christians are like that, that there are good people in the world WITHOUT getting judgemental towards me. I am glad some people did.

Love yous!

Answer 1

I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with Christians.  Not all who profess to be Christians live by the Golden Rule.  I read your other posts and I understand that you are g*y and seeking help.  Is this because you want help or is it because people are telling you you need help.  Please feel free to email me.  I care about what you are going through.

Answer 2

maybe the f word offended..ya think?  your sexuality is not EVERYTHING about you. The only one this should be an issue with is God.  Do I think it's wrong?  yep..i think its a burden and a hard one to bare..to ignore sexual impulses in a world that considers you sexualy defiant and points fingers and judges is a burden i just wouldn't want to live with but i have a g*y friend who says he would rather wear all orange than be fat..which is my burden that turns others off..so what? I guess what i'm trying to say is there are alot of burdens in the sexual department. The ones who carry their burdens with grace and dignity are the ones i admire..me i usually use the f word too.  Good Luck espeacially with your anger.  Don't let your sexuality define you again, you are so much more.

Answer 3

Wow, you sure did stir it up didn't you?  I think if you were a little less bitter about your questions you might not have made so many people mad.  Don't listen to what Christians say to you about being g*y, who cares what they think anyhow?  Stick with the people who'll except you for who you are, Christians and non-Christians.  And I would like to suggest that you not talk about a Holocaust of any kind, millions of people were killed and tortured during the Holocaust and it's a very sensitive subject.  Be you and be glad and proud of who you are!

Answer 4

If you think a 16 year old can toy around and play with peoples emotions in this section, you are sadly mistaken. Please go back to class

Answer 5

The condemnation of GLBT people is what led me to question my Christian faith... once I started questioning, there was no going back. I no longer call myself a Christian.

That's not to say that I do not agree with most of the teachings of Christ. I just don't agree with most Christians these days. Religion has become fused with politics. Conservative talk show hosts and TV show hosts know EXACTLY how to market to Christians to convince them that their way of voting and thinking are the "Christian" ways of voting and thinking. It's really sad... like friggin' puppets.

Having said that, there are some g*y Christians, and many Christians who are humble and loving enough to accept GLBTs the way they are. Those who do not simply do not understand the struggles of a GLBT person.

Try not to let people get you down.

Answer 6

So your goal was to intentionally start trouble?  Shame on you.  I hope you find the answers you are looking for.

Answer 7

"I  was dissapointed, I had hoped (but not expected) that people would respond the way that the Bible teaches, which is with love and tolerance."

Au contraire, mon ami!  You should have been pleased that people reacted exactly the way the Bible teaches, considerint that book is full of bigotry, hatred, violence, intolerance, death, s*x and all things vile, barbaric and inmoral that should be abhorred by man
