i like to think as long as you believe you will go on to your 'heaven'.
i'm Catholic and believe in God.
it doesn't bother me when people have a different belief.
i don't try to convert anyone or condem them for their belief either.
i tend to think how the bible is translated is all in the way you view it.
for instance i do not believe God, my God anyway, hates gay or lesbian individuals.
i think, and mind you it is my interpertation, that the way the bible was written was in the times of procreation being important to preserve humanities growth.
same sex marriages or couples would hinder that.
there wasn't a very easy way to present this to a vase majority other than word of mouth or the written bible.
if the internet was around for Jesus to use i think it would be a differnt story being told.
i know my God loves everyone and they were all created in his image.
i'm sorry you get sneered at and ridiculed.
religion seems to be a hot topic with almost everyone.
to me it should be a sorce of love and kindness but that just isn't the case.
i like the sceen in 'the mummy' when benny shows the mummy a cross, anch, star of David etc.
he covers all his bases.
who knows what the true religion is, or if there even is one.
i say live and let live, worship what makes your heart happy.
i think God will love us all in the end.
