Gender

THE gender "conflict" is incredibly controversial today. There are men who want to be women and women who want to be men. There are men who want to be men that act like women and women that want to be women that act like men. It is like the whole world is going topsy-turvy. When discussing gender my religious beliefs have an incredibly strong influence on my stand. I am a Christian and with my beliefs I do not agree with homosexuality. You often hear people say that "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." When thinking about gender and homosexuality I often wonder and ask myself, "How can a man possibly want to be with another man when there are so many fine women out there?" A question that I'' never be able to answer. Yet, when discussing the topic I also find myself disgusted with the outlooks of other Christians. I understand that as Christians I should want to bring people into the Faith and witness, but to me beating people up with a Bible and telling people, "You know you're going to Hell 'cuz you're a faggot, right?" just doesn't seem to be the right way to go about it to me. Many people will say they don't care if a person is gay as long as the "gayness" doesn't show up in their presence. But let's be real followers of Christ. In the eyes of God all sins are the same. So, in God's eyes the person who calls in "sick" to work when they are not is just as guilty of sin as the gay couple who acts on their idea that an act of sodomy a day keeps the doctor away. The fact of the matter is that my agreeing or disagreeing with gender switching and homosexuality is irrelevant because there is only one with the true right to judge and it certainly is not me. Being gay or transgender does not make a person non-human. I've been raised and taught in my beliefs to love any and everyone; red, yellow, black, white, gay, or straight. I also hold the belief that people who are "in the closet" need to bring their happy behinds on out... it's for their own good (once again stemming from my own personal beliefs). The way I see it, homosexuals are already committing sin just by being gay. When I say that I don't mean it with cruelty either because I'm a sinner also. Now, for a homosexual to be in the closet, that is the equivalent to lying, thus you are stacking one sin on top of another. However, if homosexuals are out of the closet, then that is only one sin. I'm sure I have a host of people out there who disagree, but that's just how I see. No matter what you are you should be proud of it and love yourself regardless. Just do you!
