I've been struggling with my sexuality for a long time. One of my biggest problems with it is actually my religion. Why would God make me gay? I'm surrounded by people who think that it's wrong, and I know that in an ideal world I could just accept it and live my life, but in this one I can't seem to.
I just don't understand, and I feel so angry at God. Why would he* make me this way? Why would he do this to me? I can't even listen to sermons at church because my pastors all think the same thing. If they knew, they'd think there was something wrong with me, and I don't know if I can take religious advice from someone who believes that.
So...why?
Why does God make people gay, even though he knows the adversity they'll go through because of it?
*I know the H in "he" and "him" should be capitalized, but right now I'm not sure if God deserves a capital letter.
God doesn't really exist, from an evolutionary standpoint being gay is useful because gays are generally more peaceful, to control population and because they nurture their siblings' offspring, I read that in psychology today I think
There is only one logical answer, and everyone with half a rational working brain already knows it. Either being gay doesn't exist, or he doesn't exist. And because we obviously know gay people exist, you already have your answer. next
What if gay people existed before Religion (which is very likely) ?
I've read that ancient Greek culture had homosexuality in it and the pleasure of male to male action was for GODS only.... Isn't that interesting ?
of course being gay existed before religion? religion is a social construct meaning it requires the existence of humans (gay or straight) to be created in the first place. ya'll are so thick smh
Who knows why anyone goes through hardships? Maybe certain people are challenged in this life to rise above in the face of intolerance and ignorance and be demonstrations of God's love and forgiveness.
Don't listen to the pastors and the people who talk about what a bad person you are and how you'll be punished in another life. Like you said, God made you. God is a benevolent, loving force. He is also an all-knowing force who created everything and everyone. Now tell me why a loving, benevolent, and omniscient God would allow one of his creations to exist if he knows before they take their first breath that they'll be condemned to an eternity of horrors. The logic doesn't work.
That's not the God I stan for, and no matter how people treat you, you can take solace in his love - if you want to. If you decide you don't believe in God or intelligent design or anything like that, that's fine too. But do your best to surround yourself with people who are better examples of how to live and how to treat others. If you're younger that's probably more difficult to do than say. But one day it'll happen, you'll move on and start to meet people who will make you feel better about yourself, and you make sure you value them and let them KNOW you value them. That's the love so many people preach but can't practice, unfortunately.
