If I swore off men and promised to Jesus that I wouldn't sleep with men anymore,
would God love me again?

And are the sacrifices that I made to my soul, to my very being, be worth the acceptance of people who believe in mythical sky fairies and fluffy clouds and angel wings?

2. Does God want us to be unhappy for not good reason????...
I don't think so. Unfortunately, there are lots of pious folks who do. I say f*ck em. Or not, whichever you prefer. Makes no difference to me so long as no body gets hurt.

9. God is not cruel. Or if he is and we gay people going to hell either way,
I'm not sure why we should try or even care.

5. My question is whose Santorum I get to vote for?
Some men are more equal than others after all.

4. According to the RRRWers he would
And they would "love" you too.

But what you give up far exceeds what you get. Be true to yourself and everyone else. Don't let the bigots cow you.

6. That's the way it supposedly works.
Don't you know? The acceptance of those idiots is supposed to be your highest priority. Don't ask why, it just is.

8. She'd probably say "I don't give a shit what you do with your fiddly bits, just
don't do it in the street and frighten the horses!"

Not all people who believe in sky fairies are assholes, though. I don't worry about how/what people believe....what makes the difference with me is how they behave--towards their fellow humans, even to those poor horses in the streets!

People spend too much time in this world being shitty to one another. They also like to try to control the behavior of others--even others with whom they don't live, don't associate, and certainly aren't paying their rent or light bill!

Are you happy? If so, I am happy for you. If you're unhappy, work on fixing that--life is very short.

Don't be mean, and you're on Santa's "Nice" list--and mine, too. And surely God's as well, and his/her sky fairy pals!

10. No one remotely godlike has a problem with whom you choose to love or screw.

14. God never stopped loving you.
And don't judge Christ by Leviticus desert law. It doesn't override the 10 Commandments or Christ's teachings.

Read this quote: "Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."

Nothing there about sexual relations, not one word.
So don't turn your back on God because you're offended with mankind, or even, just certain of it's members.
