God, Gays, and spiritual retardation
Religous theology aside for a moment. Most People strive for their own place in this world where they can have a sense of peace and happiness. With all the obstacles in our way to peace and happiness why would anyone willingly subject themselves to a theology (a body of OPINIONS concerning God or man's relationship with God) that makes them feel hopeless.
The general theological belief in 99.9% of all Christian dogmas is that gay men and women are faggots fit to be kindling in hell. No matter how much confection they sprinkle over their rhetoric of homosexual doom i.e. "Love the sinner. Hate the sin." It's all negative undermining to our sense of relavence in this world and hope in the next.
Let me tell you plainly. It is a spiritual lie. You are not going to hell just because your innate sexual affiliation is for the same sex.
Why do our religious leaders directly or indirectly promote anti-gay doctrine?
Because of a chronological retardation concerning divine expectations of worship. Christianity has a scriptural basis for their teaching but their understanding is anachronistic.
At one time 'God' chose a physical nationality to be his people. The Hebrews/Jews. Anyone not a Hebrew was a gentile and NOT one of the chosen.
The Hebrews were also given a way of worship. A list of do's and don'ts. From "Don't eat shell fish." to "Don't have any type of unmarried sex that is not for procreation."
The list was only for the chosen (Hebrew) people of that time. It was NEVER for us gentiles then or now. Any transgression from that list was considered sin. Whether the Hebrew ate a shrimp or copulated with his fellow man. All punishable by death. Yet if the Hebrew kept the ENTIRE list without a single divergence from the 600+ laws, it would be their righteousness.
None of them proved to be righteous. Not a single one. {Rm 3:10}
For that reason a new covenant was foretold in the book of Jeremiah the 31st chapter. NOT a physical list of ordinances for a specific nationality but a spiritual covenant written in our heart.
The old covenant ended when the messiah died on the cross. {Col 2:14} His purpose to fulfill/end the old covenant. No longer an outdated list of do's and don'ts. It is a spiritual covenant where the law now is to love. {Mt 22:36-40} Not to judge. {Mt 7:1-2} Under this new covenant there is no sin. {Rm 8:1} Under the new covenant their is no longer a physical delination between males and females. {Gal 3:28}
Anyone who spews their meager understanding claiming that it is a sin for man to lie with man is spiritually retarded. Unless the parties involved are Hebrew/Jewish and are living in a tent in the wilderness of Sinai. Those who are still under the carnal law are the ones that are cursed. {Gal 3:10}
I don't like to do broad spectrum slams but at least I can verify mine. I am not a Christian. I am not spiritually retarded.
Dictionary definition out of the American Heritage Dictionary:
CRETIN 1. One afflicted with cretinism. 2. An idiot- deformed idiot< CHRISTIAN
I don't blindly believe anything anyone says about God or my soul unless I research it first. {IThes 5:21, IITim2:5} Faith is substance and evidence not some blind concept that we swallow just because some idiot claims it's so. {Heb 11:1}
Christians beware the time of bowing to a list of religous expectation is over. You call us homosexuals sinners and I'll happily prove that you are a retard.

While I have no tolerance for intolerance ( so is that an oxymoron?) I am not a religious person. The best gift I ever gave myself was admitting there was no God, no higher power. When you erase God from the equation, there is no judgement guidelines. I truely believe one religious view can't be right, or wrong, if you are a religious zealot, a fundementalist Muslim, Orthodox Jew, and you go out and kill or hate people in the name of "your God", you just plain suck as a human being. Your "label" may be "Christian" but to people like me, you are just a "hater". Doing things " in the name of God" is a cop out from personal responcibilty, and gives people permission to hate that which is different from themselves. Please don't take offense to this, but the Bible is not a reference book, any more than the Koran or the Torah. Its rules, made up by man, to make life intolerable and confusing, so we cling to the idea of a God for guidance, because we are too weak as a species to rely on ourselves and get over our fear of death.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, with the inaguration coming tomorrow as a back drop, I think this country needs to learn to be more tolerant... of Gays... Atheists..,people with mental illness, Muslims, Ethnic minorties... Don't be quoting your bibles trying to come up with some excuse to hate someone. Try being kind and accepting of people you may meet someone interesting.
It's hard to explain how I came to loose my faith completely, but i can't even describe how liberating it is to just.... be me. Here's a site that helped me swim through the weeds and learn to just live for this life, and not be pulled into the lie that there is another life after this one:
