@bandito_vic_ okay, this one is coming from a Christian!
Our belief: It's honestly quite simple! We believe that God sent down his son to a virgin, he grew up to spread the love of God, died on a cross in our place, rose again three days later and forty days later he went back into heaven. We also believe in the holy Trinity (from the baptist POV), God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit
The rules: so, what specific rules you 'have to follow' honestly depend on the denomination. For me, I'm from a Baptist church and we honestly don't have any spoken rules. Yes, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy are all rules BUT! Those were from a time where Jesus wasn't there. In fact, it was hundreds of years before. The main rules we try our best to follow are the ten commandments. Of course, no one is perfect and we will always sin.
Lgbt: I personally haven't studied this a lot yet (hence me still growing in my faith) but what I do know is that in some beliefs, you aren't even allowed in the church. But, this doesn't mean all. There is a saying from a letter of St. Augustine, saying "live the sinner, not the sin". If people won't love you for who you are, they should start questioning their faith. Mark 12:31 tells us to live our neighbor as ourselves. This means that we should be living everyone, no matter what they do or where they come from. I feel like that a problem for a lot of 'Christians'. They criticize people for loving who they love yet claim they're still a Christian.
Gender: again, I haven't really studied much at the moment but this is what I do know: the Lord loves us all, no matter what. And BOYYYY do I mean that. As much as I hate certain people, the Lord still loves them dearly. I'll be sure to get back to you if you'd like!
Soooo yeah! Of course, none of this is meant to push religion onto you, it's all completely your choice
All love,
Bandito/Kenny<3
