>necromancy general

I'm no longer religious, but I was raised Catholic.

We were always taught that people of any creed, faith, or sexuality are God's children and that he'd love you for who you are.

Don't worry about it too much. If there's an afterlife, you're not going to get barred from entry because the big guy looks at you and goes "Nope, too gay."

Besides, if he did, what kind of god would that be? I wouldn't want to follow that.

No.
I know that Jesus loves me just the way I am.

>>8337756
no
fuck religion
it's posion

there's islam and they like to blow themselves up to kill themselves and as many people around them as possible. and they enslave women. and their religion was spread through war and death. like the plague or a virus that likes to infect and kill its victims.

then there's christianity and they liked to kill people because they were heretics or because they liked another god. now they prefer to let /lg/ and /t/ kill themselves by taking away all their rights and preventing transition. of course it's not their fault though, because they are well-meaning christians. the romans should've crucified all of them.

then there's pagans and they're ok because they never did anything against lgbt

>well you know we have a church affiliated adoption agency and we'd never reject ya'll you're a beautiful couple everyone loves' ya'll you'd make wonderful parents

I try to but I just cannot believe it. No matter how much I try to have faith. It is something I cannot experience. I have done a lot of research on Christianity and even read though a ton of Aquinas and currently working through City of God by Augustine. I love the intellectual work but I don't ever think I could actually believe it. I really like the moral and ethical dilemmas they tackled back then and that we still wrestle with today.
I just cannot put God in the picture.

I'm a christian. I've come to ignore what other people say about my sexuality and focus on my relationship with God. I don't believe that something that isn't a choice can be a sin, and homosexuality isn't a choice.

>make-it-up-as-you-go denomination

>>8337756
I don't, because I'm aware that homosexuality is compatible with Christianity.

raised greek orthodox, had a falling out when the faith betrayed me. the people and clergy i had grown up with and trusted implicitly became cold strangers and treated me like some leprous outsider. was refused communion and i knew i was no longer welcome.
