I had to call my mother and then my father last night. If I am to attend my brother’s wedding, they needed to know that if they caused any scenes, I would walk out… no questions asked.
My father had heard that I had become a reverend and the question, “would you marry gay people?” I told him of course… if I was asked. He let out a huge heavy sigh and said in a very disapproving way, “I thought so.”
He then proceeded to try and spout out his bigoted hate speech. I called him on it. Asked him if he thought that people who were not white were lesser or that there should be slavery or other bits. I told him he was a hypocrite.
Then he came back with the all encompassing “I love all people, I just hate their actions!” I am sorry crazy Christians, you can not love someone but despise of who they are. Oxymoron. You can not be against abortion and then call for capital punishment. If killing in one instance is a sin, it is in the other.
See what you people fail to realize is that being an evangelical does not mean you have the right to butt into other people’s business. It does not grant you the permission to be nosy and try to force your beliefs on someone. Cause in the end, if you do not believe in abortion, do not get one. If you do not believe in pre-martial sex, don’t do it. Though it is surprising how many people who spout that craziness have done so themselves. Especially if it is a second marriage. Ha!
See… what Christians fail to realize is that people are flawed. Remember the whole Adam and Eve and the apple? People can not be all-knowing and wise. They can interpret and they can be wrong. So Christians who say they have read the translated bible or their minister/priest have told them being gay is a sin, they can not judge or make those assertions because they can not know for sure they are wrong.
Did you know the current bible translations as we know them in all sects of Christianity are not the complete books? Really high up Jewish leaders have a bunch of the books the Catholics through out the first time they edited the bible. Many stories about “giants” and other races of people and other stories too. Also, the Vatican has a bunch of books hidden in their vaults when they did a second big purge of the bible. Actually, the Vatican has a bunch of documents and books kept hidden from society. What I would do to be able to steal those tons of documents and have researchers translate them. What knowledge is the Vatican holding that it has to hide away from the world. Same with the American Government.
Most rules and “laws” handed down from the churches are for political reasons rather than humanity reasons. That makes religion flawed and why people should not make judgment on others. Another examples: It was not always the case that catholic church leaders could not marry. What was happening in the 1500 was that bishops would given land to live on from the Vatican. When they died, the bishops would give this land to their sons instead of giving it back to the Vatican. So the pope decided to make it illegal for leaders to marry. Wow… word of God my foot.
Quit trying to hide your bigotry with words like… it is God’s word and I really do love people. You can say you love someone, but then when you put all your energy in hating them and oppressing them, then you just negated what you were saying.
