I'm a christian, but I don't judge people based on whether they believe or not, or whether or not they're bi, gay or lesbian. that doesn't matter to me.
what matters to me is people who are judgmental, and those out there that try and tell others that being a certain way is a sin, like being gay or bi, that is a sin. I don't by that at all, its like saying being Mormon is a sin(and to any Mormons here or Jehova's witnesses or anyone who is of a different sect of christianity I make no offense to you) and that you should become something else. That is what I find offensive.
I've gone through this debate several times this past year. I go to a chrstian college and twice this year we've had people come to this school to talk about how being Gay is wrong. well one day I went to the lunch talk back sesh and I said that Christians are bigots then, because we're telling those who are Gay or whatever to not to be, yet we're shelling the S*** out of people across the ocean for beliving in a total different relgion then us and not treating women the way we do. I call that bigoted.
I'm a Christian, but I'm the type who isn't all goody goody, and praying all the time. I believe in God, but that doesn't mean I go to church all the time, I'm someone who believes that we follow our own path, and where it leads us is where we want to go, and if we get hooked and snared along the way by things, then it is our perogative to learn from those things.
that is my Kokaro.
this is an add on to what I said earlier.
It shouldn't matter.
It shouldn't matter if you're a white person dating a black person, or a white person dating a jewish person or anything like that.
what should matter is where your heart is in the matter.
This is what I believe. I'm christian, but I don't go shoving stuff like what many of you mentioned earlier down people's throats. I'm very tolerant of others, very very tolerant and I have many friends and collegues who are Bi, gay, or Lesbian.
What above all else should matter is that you want to date or you want to be with whatever person you like because you like them, not because you can't find someone else.
now I know that sometimes I come off as weird and odd on the board(refering to the telepathy thread), but this is something that I excell very well in to help others understand what they want, and not what they should have.
That is what I believe.
and if I could make the world understand that, just any of these things that I mentioned, I think we would be able to obtain world peace. That is my ultimate wish. My only wish.
