I do not understand how any gay or lesbian can be Christian. Why stay in a Church that condemns you for your very being.
Me either. Even Christianity is pretty adamant about homosexuality being a sin. Although, if you really follow Christ, no one is supposed to judge that as a sin either! Judging someone as a sinner is a sin all by itself! Maybe even a worse sin!
Many Christians, including Catholics, don't believe that animals have souls. I believe that animals do have souls. I couldn't be a Catholic. At best I can be a generalized Christian who firmly is convinced that God loves animals as much as I do. Take what you want and leave the rest.
Do you know what Maat is? We don't know that God does not employ some version of Maat in judgment. A gay or lesbian who is a good person, a Christian person, can commit these small sinful acts and be forgiven in heaven while someone who judges harshly but believes themselves to be Godly will go to hell. Not that I believe in Hell because I don't at least now the way most people do.
