So I know that that most of this forum are LGBT+ and I also know some members identify as being religious, but can you truly be part of one of the major world religions and be gay at this same time? Isn't this a contradiction? If you are both please explain to me how you deal with this, is there any conflict in your beliefs? Do you have to compromise in some situations? How do you reason this? No shade, just genuinely curious.
Yes. Just because you are gay doesn't mean that you will forgot about god
I should probably have worded the question better, I didn't mean that gay people can't believe in God. I was more wondering about gay people who identify as part of one of the major world religions e.g. Christianity, Islam etc. which consider homosexuality a sin.
It's possible, but it leads to messy convos depending on what you believe in.
That's why I'm not religious, I'm very spiritual. All religions have the many of the same core concepts so I just take what impacts my life more from each one.
Being attracted to the same sex does not contradict having a relationship with God and finding a path to such meeting. Personally, I consider myself a christian, but I just follow the word of God itself, the organized institutions have deviated too much from the original message, which is basically: do not harm, love everyone and find peace using the time you have on Earth.
Regarding some of the answers in here and people's general way of thinking: people need to disassociate what GOD says/makes to what HUMANS (the church, prophets, etc) say. I'm not going to live my life in a certain way because an equal human to the eyes of God told me so in a glorified book, I'm going to live my life in order to what God has shown me.
