If you fart & burp at the same time, will you implode?
That's not really the topic of the day.
I want to talk about homophobia. I know it's not news. It just pisses me off how judgmental people can get. I can be judgmental but I keep it to myself and I still try not to discriminate. I think everyone should be treated equally as long as no one gets hurt.
Whenever my older sister's sexual orientation comes up in conversations, I'd get questions such as:
a) Does she come on to you?
***Urgh! First of all, homosexuals aren't necessarily incestuous.
b) Are you gay too?
***Homosexuality, as far as I know, isn't contagious.
c) Is she ok with you divulging that kind of info?
***Why not?
I'm not surprised to find out my Sister's an Atheist. At least she knows homosexuality's not accepted in Catholicism or any other religion for that matter. But my Mom constantly reminds her God loves her. Yeah, but dogmatics dont. Why do fanatics think they're much better than everybody else? It's not like they follow the Bible from cover to cover. There are heterosexuals who are much worse than homosexuals. Fanatics are in no place to judge people who are not 'normal'. If you want to talk Biblish, here's one verse "Let the one without sin cast the first stone" None of us are perfect. I know what they're going to say, we don't claim to be perfect. No, but they act like it. Like they're closer to God than everyone else. A person should not be condemned for their sexuality. Everyone should be treated equally.
I don't say anything to Catholic people, even if I don't like that particular denomination. Because I believe people have the right to practice what they want, as long as they dont hurt anyone.
Let me tell you why Catholicism's not one of my favourites. When the Spaniards came to invade Philippines, they wanted everyone to be Catholic. When the Americans came to 'rescue' Philippines, they wanted everyone to be Catholic. According to the CIA, Philippines is 83% Roman Catholic. Why are some people so fuckin' proud of it? Take note, I said SOME. According to former US President William McKinley, America's mission was 'to take them all and to educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize and Christianize them. Some of you may say 'But they're just doing what they thought was right back then'. I strongly disagree, they could've 'helped' without massacring thousands of Filipinos. If I knew how Philippines became a Christian nation, I wouldn't stay Catholic, unless I truely feel it's the right religion for me, not because 'we were invaded by Spaniards so I just don't bother to change it'. I used to be one. Like most people who were born in Philippines, I went to Catholic school up until we left. Not to say my denominations better than Catholicism. But I understand and agree with my religion's beliefs better than I do with Catholicism. I'm still a Christian.
I don't reply to gay related threads anymore, just because I think it's pointless to 'debate' with fanatics. They've already made up their (closed) mind.
I say just live and fuck off.
