Christians Endorse God's Hatred

[Ryantology]

FNM and Esq, I invite you to reconsider your opinion in light of Ryanology's profile GIF and his comments. I think it is safe to say those count as evidence that my speculation about motives applies, at the very least, to Ryan.

I am married, and I have always been stridently monogamous in all of my relationships (though, my wife and I have mutually agreed that we could both handle an extra party on rare occasion. This has not yet actually happened). The number of sexual partners I've had in my lifetime is in the single digits. This has never had to do with satisfying a god's demands, even when I was a Christian. It is how I've decided to handle my own love life, for my own reasons. Key words being, "I've decided".

If other people decide to do things differently, and it doesn't involve children, animals or force/coercion, then it is none of my business. I would never marry a man or have multiple spouses, for what, I feel, are very good reasons. The thing is, I recognize that I have no right to presume that my reasons apply to anybody else, nor do I have the right to help force anybody to abstain from such relationships. After all, I would be extremely upset if enough people decided that the specifics of my marriage were 'perverted' that they could attempt to use the legal system to make it so that I could not be married.

I am loudly in support of marriage equality, even though the legalization of gay marriage has no material benefit to me whatsoever. I support sexual freedom even though I have voluntarily closed so many of those doors to myself through marriage. The reason I am vocal about sexual freedom is a reason that you and many other Christians seem to completely not get: it is called 'empathy'.
