I'm also a Christian, an evangelical. I agree with you when you say they use the Bible as an excuse. Like, if you don't agree, just go on with your life. What others choose to live doesn't interfere with my life or anyone else's! |

I hate that it also makes us Christians look bad. We are supposed to love each other. Instead you see people all over just arguing. It's not supposed to be that way at all. You can tell someone when they are doing something wrong but don't discriminate or judge them. I am pretty sure there is a line in the Bible that says God is the judge. Not saying people can't be punished on earth for being vile, but that when people do sin it is not up to us. I don't really think that all sins are equally bad. Lying is 100% different from committing a crime like stealing or murder. Sure they can all = death but they are not on the same level. There are some things we just simply let God deal with. I wouldn't wish karma on anyone, but let God handle it. Pretty sure that is what the Bible means with that scripture, but it is just the way I see it. I think we as Christians should share our point of view of the Bible, to give others more perspective and understanding. Bible studies are pretty sick!

(edited) Report ur so right!! another queer Christian here with a deep interest in theologyโreligion is literally all about interpretation. so many schools of thought and theory (like queer and feminist Christian theory) exist within institutionalized religion that people on the outside forget about. thereโs an entire academic field of study surrounding religion for a reason! the misunderstandings suck but we know the truth that God loves us as we are and thatโs what truly matters at the end of the day :) Exactly!! ๐๐ by ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ช_๐ผ๐ฝ๐ป๐ช๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐; ; Report |

I agree with you! I'm atheist but at school I have a classmate who will just burge in my conversations with my friend whenever we are talking about anything queer and he'll start talking about how it's wrong according to his belief and therefore he must always and automatically be right and um... I'm not sure that's how it works. GENUINELY!!! T-T people like that make the religion look bad :/ some people just need to learn how to let other people live their own lives and have their own beliefs! by ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ช_๐ผ๐ฝ๐ป๐ช๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐; ; Report |

omg I see what you mean thoo. im a trans gay kid and I'm also Atheist (I don't rlly believe in a god) but other people will assume that I'm a satanist and try to force me into religion by saying "oh queer=sin" its so exhausting T^T I have catholic friends but it will still be "oh you just hate my bc I'm religious" lil bro idc who's religious or not I'm js trying to pass as male for the dayย Ur so fr I feel ya bro by M8sFavDiscordFemboy; ; Report lmao ur okay!! Thanks for sharing !! by ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ช_๐ผ๐ฝ๐ป๐ช๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐; ; Report Also with the fallacy of "u will h8 me cuz I'm religious" that's such a lie. Historically queer people have been given horrible garbage treatment: Be it discrimination, being put away from families, jail, or even death. After all those centuries of such unbearable agony, we wouldn't just pay that back because most queers have experienced something like that firsthand and would probably want nobody or very few people to suffer this much. by M8sFavDiscordFemboy; ; Report EXACTLY. like, I have more things to worry about like uh, lemme think, maybe the MASS GENOCIDE THATS TRYING TO BE COMMITED?? yea I don't think I have time to hate on religion if I could just be a decent person and get through the day โ Yeah, there's homicides being committed and they expect us to surrvive a bullet or stay off guard or stop caring about getting our literal rights back in some countries. And decide that rights don't mean crap to us and that we have hundreds of years to live to pay back everything done to us in the past...Not how it works, bud by M8sFavDiscordFemboy; ; Report Also forgot 2 mention I really like your profile layout surrealism goes hard by M8sFavDiscordFemboy; ; Report |
Exactlyyy!! Like just because you interpret the bible in a hateful way doesnโt mean you need to force it on me T-T
