It's common knowledge now that Christianity basically borrows and twists all it's beliefs, festivals, the God itself and even some sacriments (marriage in particular) from earlier cultures. It's not a creative religion, it's a religion built as an amalgamation of earlier ones. And then Christianity calls Paganism, which it gets its festivals from, "savage". The irony...
Increasingly I find the straighter the man is the less he's bothered. We have straight members of this forum so comfortable in their sexuality that they can have a serious discussion without thinking it makes them gay, then we have "straight-acting, masc4masc, no fems" all over Grindr.
You know, just about everything they've told us about Jesus is based on astrology.
Even when I was a Christian, I cringed at the way other Christians treated homosexuals. They'd say Jesus could heal you of your homosexual tendencies. I'd say he didn't heal Jimmy Swaggart of his heterosexual tendencies. As long as you are for real, accept me as a human being and have something on your mind that we can talk about, the chromosome configuration of the people you sleep with is not an issue for me.
I was in another forum a while ago where somebody raised the question to straight men of what they would do if they found out their best friend was gay. Most men said it wouldn't make a difference though some said they would feel betrayed that they had not known. One guy said if he found out his homeboy was gay he would stop asking him if he had his back (slang for will you watch out for me when I'm not looking?).
Show me a man who's comfortable with his women friends and I'll show you a man who is comfortable with his gay friends.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
