I really feel pity for those who believe a diety, of some sort, exists. Many years ago, I also thought that my being gay was wrong. I was actually 'confirmed' into my church at almost twenty. The usual age was about 11 or so. I realized a few years later that my sexuality was just fine; society was screwed up. Religion has done much damage to people and continues to do so. All this fussing and fretting I see in many of the posts is so unnecessary. When one puts all their trust in a mythical being and one book, reasoning has taken a holiday, at least. When I was young I learned santa claus and the tooth fairy were non-existant. It was much later I came to the same conclusion about a gawd. I have spent my life since then watching religion climb out further on that proverbial branch of absurdity. It is only a matter of time before one of their own saw it off. I once told a group of Baptists that if their Jesus were to walk in the door that there would be a mad clambering commotion to see who would be there first with nails and boards in hand to do it all over again. ot |
