My Beef With Christian People

*Disclaimer~ I am not hating on this religion, I just have beef with the people(rightfully so, as I am entitled to my own opinions. Hopefully. Or has Trump taken that away too?? More on him later). I am not discouraging people from being religious, or hating on this particular religion, I am just saying what I believe and why. I do not hate any religion. Please don't come after my ass, there are enough people who already hate me.*

(Side note- this was originally going to be about inspiring passages from the Bible, but I got bored.)

OK, OK. Let me start off by saying I am a devout atheist. I used to believe in a god. Not God, specifically. My mother's side of the family is Zen Buddhist. Again, I am an atheist. I go to church when I have to, for funeral stuff. But I will point out that there are differences between a god and God. A god refers to a superhuman being or spirit (thanks Google). God refers to the Christian one. I used to believe in a god (again, more on that later, I feel like I say that too much).

My Beef with Christianity

I only have stuff with this one because of the whole LGBT community. JESUS HAD TWO DADS AND WAS BI CURIOUS. YOU GUYS WORSHIP HIM. LEAVE THE GAYS ALONE. I know that one of the old versions of the Bible (or something) says "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act.” God’s Word says the homosexual act is detestable; it is an abomination. Leviticus 20:13" OK, so I would like to take this moment to point out the fact that, in the Bible, David wants to marry Michal, the daughter of Saul. Saul's all like, "Oh hell no. If you want her, go get me 100 Philistine foreskins." Of course, David agrees. He goes and kills 200 Philistines, manhandles their man parts and chops of their foreskin. If that ain't gay, then I don't know what is.  

My point is, the Bible says whatever. That doesn't mean that everyone needs to say "homosexuality is a sin. The Bible said it, so it's true!" I would also like to take this time to point out that Jesus murders a fucking fig tree. I know that's beside the point, but I really wanted to say that.

Back to the gay stuff- God wants people to be happy. He loves you. If he wants everyone to be happy, then why would he see homosexuality as a sin? If you can explain it to me better, please, tell me how loving the same sex is a sin!!! OK, but like again, I am not hating on the religion. I know a bunch of Christians who are accepting of the LGBT community. Then again, I know a bunch who aren't.

Just... love is love. Weather it be between a man and a woman or a man and a man or a woman and a woman, love is love. You can love whoever the hell you want, who cares if you go to hell. We're already in hell, aren't we? Look at out "president".
