Over And Out (July 1, 2008 - Tuesday)

Well, ive had some deep arguments about gay rights in my life but none quite as crazy as this one. I am not gay/lesbian/bi. but i have many friends that are homosexual or bisexual and i wouldnt change them for the world.
i had a nice long conversation with a man named MICHAEL BURR. heres how it went:

ok, so you send me a request to attend "homosexuality, a freedom gone too far?"
ONE: IF GOD CREATED MAN EQUAL, WHY IS IT WRONG TO BE GAY?
DOESNT YOU GOD SAY HE LOVES EVERYONE THE SAME?
you are a ignorant fuck. you are contradicting yourself. why the hell do you hate gay people? is it wrong to be gay? are gay people hindering your 'jesus is everything' lifestyle? how about you get yoour head out of your ass and smell reality. GAY PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
do you think beyond the print in the bible? have you ever stopped to think for yourself? question the bible? TRY IT. i went to christian school for 13 years. hell, my name is christi. but that wasnt my choice. ive grown up in a christian family, BUT i thought for myself.
i am a member of Satan Youth. satanists are athiests (bet you didnt know that did you Mr. follower?)
your god is a lie. fuck religion. EXPLAIN TO ME, PLEASE, HOW GAY PEOPLE ARE BAD OR WRONG. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR EXPLANATION.

ok. voting for obama? is that because war is against your religion? how about fighting terrorism? is that against your religion? yeah, men and women need to have sex to have kids, i get that. but if two people love each other, WHY AND HOW IS IT WRONG?
and we're not all striving to do his will and im definitely not his child. and its against your will to hate? WOW THATS LAME. sorry to sound like an asshole, but its human nature to hate. if someone comes into your house and kills your cat, do you love them?
PEOPLE ARE HOMOSEXUAL AND THAT IS NOT WRONG. ITS HOW THEY ARE. DOES GOD LOVE GAY PEOPLE, OR DOES HE HATE THEM? oh, but isnt hate against his religion? your god is a bit arrogant if you ask me. making up all these rules for me, but not following them himself.
explain that to me. does god want the gay people dead? does he want them to go away? that doesnt sound like love to me michael...
please, elaborate. because all my years of this bullshit being fed to me has not explained this. you are what people like me call "extremists" and boy are you in for disappointment when you die.
sorry, but theres nothing up there.
and do you love terrorists murderers and rapists? because hate is against your religion? and do you believe in the death penalty against the said offenders, or is that killing against your religion?
then he invited me to another anti gay group

stop inviting me to your dumb shit.
you are a sick and hateful human being and i dont think your 'god' would approve.
you strike me as the kind of person who regurgitates the bible to people, yet lives otherwise.
GAY PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. THEY ARE NO BETTER NOR WORSE THAN ANYONE ELSE. YOU AS A CHRISTIAN "DO GOODER" SHOULD REALIZE THIS. YOUR HATRED FOR GAYS BRINGS A BAD REP TO YOUR FELLOW CHRISTIANS.
IMAGINE IF YOU WERE OPPRESSED FOR BEING STRAIGHT. OR FOR BEING CHRISTIAN. I BET YOU WERENT ALIVE FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT SO YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE THEN.
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT YOU SICK TWISTED ASSHOLE.

Well, he never responded to me. ive grown up in a christian family in christian schools with church on most sundays for about 9 years. this easter was the first easter that i did not attend church. and boy was that a good decision. why? because i slept late. im NOT waking up at 8 to be fed the same shit that that ive been getting for 15 years. i even think my parents have been catching on to me not believing. they even crack jokes at it, which scares me because i would think theyd be VERY angry. i mean, they think i believe in god, but what they dont know is i DONT.
