"Why does God care so much about what people do, when it doesn't hurt anyone?"
That was my first question. I mean really. God's mad at gay people getting married. How does that hurt him at all? Because he didn't INTEND sex for that purpose? And how exactly does that hurt him that people aren't doing things exactly the way he wants. Why does he care if people masturbate? I mean killing people, yeah. Makes total sense why he wouldn't like that.
My husband on the other hand had his mind blown when I explained to him that God and Jesus were supposed to be the same person. That didn't make sense to him. I don't think I realized how little it made sense to me until he mentioned it. He was able to reconcile God and Jesus being different people, and not part of the same entity. But being one in the same pushed him firmly into the atheism camp (at least after he prayed on it--only to realize he was talking to the walls)

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
