Heeeyyy

So I am a doctoral student and researcher , a private pilot and I mess around in a band :-S

So I am an recently deconverted ex-christian from Scotland who moved to Ireland last year. Being a gay guy who was sent to a Catholic school kinda messed up my teen years, and all the homophobia from the top (such as the ex-popes "homosexuality destroys the human creature") speech made me realise that it was well nonsense (I actually read the OT for the first time ever and Talking Donkeys? Destroying whole cities for being "evil") its kinda immoral isn't it.

Eventually I realised that I am gay, I didn't choose to be that way and if its such a "sin" then God either must hate us, must be powerless or far more likely (Considering scientific discoveries) non-existent .

Hiya and welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Welcome along, there's been an influx of religious lately (although I'm sure it always seems that way).
