The truth is im very conflicted. part of me, supports gay rights, and has no problem with gays, and the other says, how can god be wrong?.
Its a true confliction. Im not really completely against homosexuality. But ever had friends on both sides of an issue, its tough
There is no shame being in the middle of this debate without picking sides, the hard part is actually defending your position.
The part of you that supports gays, is that because you have gay friends? And even if you didnt, do you care what other people do with their lives?
The other part of you that says "how can god be wrong" is understandable because you were brought up into a religious family, but I will assume your of age to know that everything in the bible is not true. Therefore most of the bible literally can not be the "word" of god. Ofcourse if you believe that then thats what you choose to believe but at this age, at least you can choose what to buy into.
If it says in genesis that "homosexuality" is a sin and must be treated as such, well then that means you actually practice the old testamen. Which not many people do, unless your muslim.
The problem with this country is, the hypocracy with choosing which part of the bible to trust, and which part to throw away. If your going to be against homosexuality like the bible says, well then your going to have to be for stoning your children to death when they act up, giving your wife up to someone who raped her, selling slaves for wifes, taking orders to kill another man from god.
All of these things happend in your king james version of the bible, the same version which houses your beliefs in homosexuality, or "gods" beliefs.
Growing into religion is one thing, it keeps kids doing morally right things. Being an adult in a religion, is a choice to believe in the bible. If you havent read the entire bible, and believe what it all says, whats the point of having an opinion on something thats in the bible, that part of you does not even care about.
So you see, god is not wrong, god cant be wrong.....its the bible that is telling you what to do, not god. And if you believe that god IS literally in the bible, well you have problems, because the bible is not very omnipotent and loving.
