Night time Awakens...

My ferocity.

I would like to reiterate a point i made a while ago, that being, I no longer like to stand behind something when i no longer feel it.

what i no longer feel, is religion. It used to be that i would get excited about god and jesus and what not. but, about a year and a half ago, i saw the atrocities being committed in the name of this "God" and i no longer felt any pride toward the name, instead, I questioned, first off, where the hell people got the audacity to use this "God" fellow, who is supposed to be peaceful, to hurt other people. It never made sense to me, but i still believed in "God" at that point. but then, something happened... whether it was this sort of fading of emotions that i experienced, but on my confirmation day, when i was blessed with the gifts of the holy spirit, I no longer believed in god. I stood, staring face to face with this sort of emptiness that i knew once contained this god, and yet i felt happier than i'd felt in all my life. that's when the true atrocities around me came into full bloom. and I awoke on the other side...

and this is what i learned...

The Argument of Christians Against Homosexuals
Since the early days of the church, people had been going around, banging some wierd verses in peoples faces, such as this:
1st corinthians, 6:9-10

"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

First off, i love this play on words "Nor male prostitutes", good stuff, it implys that females are ok :D.
anyways, back on subject, this is the "New Internet Version" of the bible, which means that these people with preconceived ideas of its meaning, put this crap in here. now, personally, i trust older stuff, and i trust shakespearee, so lets see what the good ol' king james version says for this verse.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

hmm, interesting, there is no mention of homosexuality here (well, Effinimate simply means overly feminine or too sophisticated (judging that St. peter hated the rich, i'm going with the latter)) which is strange, right? the bible couldn't contradict itself? and never on the same verse.

how bout this one?
Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination

yet, according to the bible in John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

so, according to that, any sin i have is washed away if i believe that jesus died for my sins and so on and so forth.

so then, why do these people attack homosexuals?

Hell, the Mormons (who are a minority themselves) forced the attack of Proposition 8.

and if these people are christians, do they not also belive in mortal sin? if so, lets measure the 2 out.

Homosexuality: Mortal sins: Lust: because they show love for each other (Heaven Forbid), they must be lustful.

Protestors: Mortals sins: Pride: they don't wish to lose the definition of marriage because they are proud of what it means, instead of being humble. Greed: some protestors motive is greed "they're a bunch of dirty women and girly pretty boys sleeping with each other, so why should they get my tax benefits? Wrath: Protestors around the country are abusing homosexuals emotionally, verbally, and sometimes even physically.

it's dispicable...

(PS: in my first paragraph, i capatilized god sometimes, and sometimes not... this was on purpose)
