Great post!
I do feel we need more openness towards, in lack of better word, different people. Not only gay, but for all people that have different views or dare to live outside the box defined as normal.
I am not religious or gay. To me it is hard to understand why someone wants to be religious, if the religion doesn't want them. Not the religion itself, but the people that define what is right or wrong in a church or community.
Can U explain about the longing for religion, even though you are called upon to change what you are to be accepted?
I have exited the whole need for 'religion' phase of my life. I've found there are much better ways to have a happy, healthy and productive existence. Personally- I believe that Christianity enforces an external locus of control instead of an internal one (which is what the story of communion actually was, IMO).
Thanks for the question!
Btw, I think Jesus was...
lol. I think that Jesus was most likely a very well put together mythos construct. :)
I believe he was real, and turned into a myth. Maybe they put in the Virgin Mary there just to paint the picture a bit :-)
Dunno if you are into music, but posting this for you anyways. Take care!
