    Even if you believe in a god, then he had a hand in making you this way.

    Are you saying that your god makes mistakes, or that he’s willfully condemning a certain percentile of his own creations? Sounds like a shitty god.


    And for the record, I’m Christian. Plenty of churches have found ways to square LGBTQIA+ with the scripture, as it says astoudingly little in regards to those topics especially compared to the amount of whining a lot of Christians do over it.

    At the end of the day, my personal take: It’s not a sin.

    CHRISTIAN SOAPBOX ALERT

    But even if you want to be an asshole who believes it is sin, the bible is very cut and dry that sin is sin and there isn’t differing “magnitudes” in the eyes of the Christian God. Congrats, you had some dirty thoughts about not your wife while married? Same magnitude as bombing an orphanage. Without Jesus both cases are doomed to hell.

    So who the fuck are we to be running around going “your personal life details/sexuality/identity are more damning than my sins”? Jackasses, that’s who. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

      In my experience they will just say that God made free will so you can burn in hell. It has to be a free choice to choose God and be saved. Which makes the Christian God sound like an egotistical maniac.

        it’s pretty fucking funny how any time you take scripture literally you end up with god as either comically incompetent or miserable

          I love that one time god killed a good portion of the israelite army because they were complaining about their situation, or that other time the israelites got owned because the enemy had iron chariots
