Thanx David. It never come across my mind that spirituality and religion can be two separate things. I always find these two synonomous.
Joining forum like this and reading other materials regarding homosexuality have always given me the comfort about being gay (am i??). I find peace and reassurance when i read things like: gay is a natural, in-born thing; neorobiological functioning of a gay brains differs from straight guys; more gays are coming out; the world in general is more permissive etc.
I wonder if i should denounce my religion (GOD forbids) so that i can be liberated to be what and who i think i am.
true that Bible is 2000+ year old compilation of manuscripts, but if i am into it then i have to believe its true right? (true that cultural context comes in).
i guess some forbidden things are universal and cut-across time, example it's wrong to steal 2000 years ago and it's still wrong today. It's wrong to rape 2000 years ago and it's still wrong today. |
