Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve,

I'm so tired of hearing this. 

Who are you to tell someone who they can or cannot love? 

Because the Bible said that a man who lies with another man is an abomination? 

Please wait,

While I find the scripture where you are told to love one another as Christ has loved you.

Please wait,

While I find the scripture where Lot becomes drunk on wine

And sleeps with and impregnates his daughters. 

Don't try to tell me

The men of the town were evil for being gay.

They were indeed wicked.

But not because a man wanted to sleep with a man

They were wicked for wanting to hurt and rape others.

Now, dont go and assume

That I am homosexual

Or that I am an athiest.

Because I am not.

In fact,

My father is a pastor,

I know the word,

I lean on my sword,

And stand my on faith.

I stand on it strong enough to know the faults.

The faults of how people use it to justify hate for one another.

However,

In the same way no one is born knowing

Algebra or English,

How to walk or talk,

Right or wrong,

No one is born hating.

It is taught.

I do not blame you.

A great mind once said,

"To be great is to be misunderstood."

So please,

Continue to be misunderstood.

Continue to be great.

Homosexual,

Bisexual,

Pan sexual,

A-sexual,

Heterosexual.

It does not matter.

As long as there is a way to misunderstand you,

You will be misunderstood.

So please, 

Don't let what you have been taught

Be what makes you hateful.

If you want to speak about God and homosexuality

Remember the most important thing,

To LOVE one another as you would yourself.

Maybe then,

The world will be the paradise that was made to be.
