My religion does not condemn my lifestyle.

A lot of churches in my area are quite literally flying rainbow flags. It's 2017, OP.

Only culturally. My family is Episcopalian but I don't believe in a big sky fairy or anything.

Do you live in DC? I see lots of these around Dupont.

Toronto here.

I'm an animist pagan. It doesn't condemn my lifestyle.

What exactly do you believe?

>>7668198
All people, animals, plants, and possibly other aspects of the natural world have souls that cycle through reincarnation.

Do you think my waifu maybe has a soul?

It's only really the bronze age Jewish desert trilogy and their offshoots that outright oppose lgbt people
Eastern and pagan religions all at least have certain denominations that accept gays and trans

>>7668161
Am deist, my religion condemns nor promotes anything.

>>7668168
No, your religion does condemn your lifestyle.

Cognitive dissonance, wishful thinking, and ridiculous word games do not change scripture.

>>7668161

the way i see it, anything that condemns your lifestyle forfeits the right to pretend to love you.
>god loves you as a person, but hates everything you stand for.
kek

>>7668516
interpretation of scripture changes all the time though

god was created by humans so humans changing him isn't really that strange

Tfw no qt bf with homophobic muslim parents to complete me while stay closeted from my homophobic christian parents.

There are certain Christian denominations that accept gays and trans, and most mainstream Eastern religions outright persecute lgbt.

>>7668826
Nope, most Eastern religions are not against it. Unless you're thinking Middle Eastern.

>>7668161
SAVE US BASTIAN!!!

Jesus never condemned homosexuality - Adam and Eve felt shame about being naked, however this was not a sin - therefore even things which we may feel shame about may not necessarily be sinful

>most Eastern religions are not against it.
Yes they are.

I'm a MtF Turk living in the UK. I believe in God, wear hijab, pray and such but being a Muslim and trans fucking sucks mostly. My parents have not disowned me, they love me and accept me but they worry about the social consequences. That's the big problem for me.

>>7668161
>Are there any religious lgbt people here?

I'm gay and Christian and not ashamed of either of those facts.

>How do you live with the fact that your religion condemns your lifestyle?

I don't because it doesn't. You've been misinformed.

If it gets to the point where they'd rather harm you than let you live your lifestyle, then it's not really love.

I worship Jesus on my knees like the God that he is.
He literally has a perfect body.
Let him release your heavy burden.
