Currently I am reading a book called Washed and Waiting by Wesley Hill. This book is about the author telling his struggles of being a homosexual and trying to still be a Christian. I saw this book and was interested because I know that I have Christian beliefs and also am homosexual.
This book is a really good read. It seems like a fast read but it’s very dense, for me anyway. A lot of things weighed heavy on my mind just entering the first chapter.
One thing that continues to annoy me is when people say that homosexuals are going to hell because “God hates fags” and all that other crap. First of all, my God is perfect. Therefore, that means he is incapable of hate and he can only love everyone equally. If there are people who think that their God can actually hate people, then they obviously see their God as imperfect which seems to be demeaning of the authority God should have.
People say that God hates gays because in the Bible and in the Gospel it is said that if a man lay down with another man like he would with a woman then that is an abomination. I’m not saying that the Gospel or Bible doesn’t say that, and I’m not even saying that’s incorrect. My point of view is that God (or Jesus) did not write the Gospel or Bible. My perfect God did not write either of those. An imperfect man wrote those from his own ideals of what God is to him. Why should I follow what a mere imperfect man has to say about God? I just don’t see how that makes any sense at all.
Another thing that bothers me is the fact that some churches will allow for you to be gay but homosexual sex is not allowed. This is because you are not to have sex before marriage in the Christian religion and since gays can’t get married in the church (the only place a Christian is expect to be married) then they can never have sex.
Now the whole idea of that is because Jesus never had sex. He never gave into his temptations and his followers should be just the same and deny sex. However, there actually have been many stories saying that Jesus indeed did have sex. He had sex (and potentially married) Mary Magdalene. There are stories that say they also had kids together. Literally half of the people believed this when the Bible and Gospel were written. But the people that were chosen were from the other half that believed that this wasn’t true. So technically, the Bible and Gospel are both bias sources.
There have been facts all across Jerusalem that gives evidence to the fact that Jesus did have children. However, the people who decided to depict the life of Jesus Christ for every follower turned up their noses to that evidence and wrote what they believed.
I personally do think that Jesus and Mary had kids. I think what makes a loyal man is one who can be faithful to a woman and his children. Just because he was perfect and he’s the savior in the Christian religion, doesn’t mean he has to be celibate. I really don’t think that has anything to do with it.
I think that the Christian religion tries way too hard to shun gays. Honestly, if you are a true Christian, you’ll accept everyone and love everyone no matter what. That’s what Jesus did; he loved every single person. If you’re Christian then you should be striving to act in a holy way as Jesus did so you should love everyone no matter what.
