Gays and Religion


Contradiction? I'm not sure. This blog post is focused on the Christian Religion and how being raised as a christian confuses me. I was baptised Christian, went through Communion, and was Confirmed, but still I feel that I am not accepted. Aren't Christians suppose to be accepting and love everyone? Or did I learn wrong because last time I checked I was told that I would burn in hell for being who I am.

Sometimes I believe that there could be a higher power. But why would this God not accept someone who was born the way they are. Why does me being Gay disable me from being loved by God. Why is it that I am told that I am going to burn in hell because I am attracted to guys? Maybe someone needs to clear things up with me because I never even had proof that any of this is true. This is why I don't follow Christianity because I feel like I am wasting my time in believing something that I'm not even accepted in. I want to believe that there will be an afterlife rather than disappearing forever but sometimes it is just too hard for me to believe.
(too many questions?)

I find that the majority of people who are gay do not follow a religion. Most likely for the same reasons I don't. My thought is that religion was made by people to enforce laws and keep humanity moral. My other thoughts is that it was made to make us feel that we have a purpose when we actually don't have any purpose, that we are just matter. Another idea are that its in our DNA to believe in a higher power (so I read).

So whatever we are here for, whatever our reasons are, and whatever we believe in, everyone needs to love one another; whether they are gay, bi, lesbian, transgendered, black, obesity, and so on. There is nothing wrong with loving, but there is with hating.

Spring is Around the Corner!


Finally, the weather is getting just a bit warmer! I am so over this horrible cold weather that has been making me so depressed and gloomy. Ive noticed my mood has gone to horrible to happy thanks to the changing of weather.

I made a list the other day at work of things I want to do with my boyfriend for this upcoming spring/summer. So far I have over 20 things I want to do. I also drove around with my windows down yesterday just because it was barely warm enough to do it.

Anyways, this pointless blog post is just about how happy I am that the snow is melting and the sun is radiating :)
