Did you ever wonder if maybe God was slightly gay him/her self?
I mean, he/she did supposedly create males, females, and some who are a little bit of both, by the billions and billions.

Why would he/she do that?

Republicans need to be thinking about these things now, cause they are putting everything they have on it, above all other pressing problems.

And while I'm at it, what's the deal with that Jesus guy anyway?

1. Of course, since I'm made in God's image, and am a lesbian

2. Can a parthenogenic being be said to have a sexuality?
If there is God, it can be judged through its works. And the fact that it has given humanity such a fascinating spectrum of sexuality and kinks leads one to the obvious conclusion:

It just likes to watch.

5. So we're just God's porn.
My ego is so deflated, I need more coffee.

3. Well you could argue that God made 10% of us gay
as a way to keep the human population in check

4. It's why the church should like the ideas in the Da Vinci Code
Putting out the idea that Jesus was heterosexual, married even. With children. So "normal".

13. I think the Da Vinci Code is part of a NEW conspiracy....
Edited on Tue Jun-06-06 11:02 AM by Bridget Burke
Those who take it seriously will believe that:

1) The Last Supper shows Mary Magdalene, rather than John--the Beloved Apostle. Yes, the figure is androgynous. As were other beautiful young men painted by Leonardo.

2) Mary Magdalene's main claim to fame was as Mrs Jesus (or is that Mrs Christ?). Wife of Jesus & Mom to His offspring. Other scholarship shows her as an important disciple--in her own right.

7. Nope, God's clearly a male.
It says so right in the Bible. So it begs the question- why does God have a penis and what does he use it for?

8. That painting on the Sistine Chapel Ceiling PROVES it.
It clearly shows that God is indeed, a boy, and he's creating a man, not a lowly woman.

God is a man, and therefore has a very very large
shoe size.

10. Look at it this way, if G*d didn't create gays and lesbians. . .
there wouldn't be any.

11. The earth gave birth to Adam, and Adam gave birth to Eve (through
his rib).
Now, I've been around for a while, and I've never seen anybody being born by crawling out of the mud, and I've never seen anybody being born by bursting out of someone's chest. So were Adam and Eve a species of man that were different to us? There was an old question of whether Adam or Eve had a bellybutton that confounded the medeival church fathers.
Are we even created in God's image, or are we a race of people that have co-opted certain aspects of that religion and molded them to suit our own purposes?

15. Check out Zeus. At least, he was creative.
From the internets:

"He visited some lovers in changed form: Leda, as a swan; Ganymede, as an eagle; Europa, as a bull; Danae as golden rain."

Strange ways to reproduce. Of course, Gods (and the rich) are different.

17. IF I believed in God
SHE would be bisexual - SHE would not be Gay - because 2 people of the same sex are not going to be what keeps creation going - and SHE is very interesting in creation and REcreation.

SHE would favor PROcreation involving opposing sexes - but because SHE likes variety - SHE wouldn't expect everyone to be exactly like her - since that would be boring and SHE does not like boring - and besides - that would be silly.


Someday people will look back on the time when people thought God was a man and laugh. :rofl: :silly: :rofl: :silly: :rofl:
