Homosexuals and Heaven

[salty]

Everyone,
I think all of you interpreted the sentence I wrote about a woman feeling shame in a different way than I intended. This has to be a misunderstanding.

I did not mean: a woman who is unmarried and pregnant can feel shame (because I want to cast it on her through judgment).

I mean: a woman who is unmarried and pregnant can (has the ability to, but in some cases may not) feel shame.

Sorry for being unclear. (No wonder you were all jumping on me.)

Aleia, my sister had a child when she was 15 and I was 13. I was proud of her for not aborting the baby because some people were telling her to do it, Christians among them. I'm so glad she didn't, I can't imagine my life without my nephew. I definitely said things in my ignorance that were unkind, I was selfish, but I took care of her son until I went to college, that's about 6 years. So please, don't say to me that I'm the kind of person that would judge someone involved in fornication and unplanned pregnancy. Never again speak of me as if you know anything about me, but I will tell you this; I was involved in fornication before I married my husband. I would be the last person to judge someone who fornicates, because I did it in secret. I have no problem admitting it because if I let people think for one minute I don't remember my own past, I'm just deceiving myself. I know the old me and I'm so happy to be done with that.

Please...unless I address you, stop projecting every word I say onto yourself. When people on this forum say my beliefs are wrong I don't apply it to myself. I just think "well that's how they feel about it" I know that many atheists mostly don't like religious anything and in some cases me too, but usually the former. It's not my goal to point fingers at anyone, when I speak of these sexual groups I refer to them by their names, fornicators, adulterers, etc, how do I know you're in that category unless you tell me? Please stop deciding everything I say is another way to insult you, just maybe it's to answer a question and it's not about you. Finally, stop thinking you're the only one with a worthy story, everyone has a story and every story is worthy and should be respected, because everyone has been through something difficult, for some it's big and for others it's small, but every story has shaped a person, therefore it's important.

Thank you for sharing your story, aleia. I'm sorry for your loss, it was more recent than I could have imagined.

Good night.
