Before I go off on this rant I need to clarify a few things.
- I am gay.
- I was raised Southern Baptist and I do believe in God.
Obviously, I don’t agree with what the Bible/God says about homosexuality. I can’t, and never will be able to, wrap my mind around the fact that my God, who loves me so much and wants the very best in life for me, will condemn me for the love I have for another human being just because that person and I are the same sex. I can’t see why or how love can be a sin based solely on gender.
Now, having been raised in the church and on the bible this argument (skip ahead to 1:30) always grinds my gears. There is a reason that it is called the OLD Testament, or law, because it no longer applies. It was done away with so that a new and better law could be put into place, and it is not just in the Old Testament that homosexuality is brought up. It is also stated in Matthew that it is an abomination in God’s eyes. It is apart of the New Law, therefore it still applies making this whole stupid argument invalid.
Once again, just because I am arguing this doesn’t mean that I agree with what it has to say about being gay and having sex with the same gender. I’m simply saying that if you’re going to use scripture as a weapon, you should really get your facts straight.
Rant finished.
