Okay, I know that homophobics are just ignorant and could never understand what it feels like to be gay, and I should just ignore them, but it just makes me so mad, that I can't. I'm really tired of people quoting the bible and giving their classic "It is an abomination of God." First of all, I want to tell you that I believe in God. My problem with the bible reasoning is that The Bible wasn't written by God, period. It was written by man. This basically means that man decided upon all of the religious laws that we so closely follow. Why? Why should we listen to what another "person" tells us is true? Another problem I have is the theory that no one can be born gay. That statement is just as ridiculus as if you were to say no one can be born straight. Would a straight person wake up one day and say "I think I'm going to be gay?" A straight person knows that they can never have sexual feelings for the same sex. Well, a gay person can never have feelings for the opposite sex.

I had this happen to me, and i was freaking out. I thought it was just an expression but i was just messin around with my girlfriend, i flipped the coin, and it actually sat up on its edge, not head nor tails. Awesome.

Hate, bigotry, superstition, agression, denial, repression.
Must have all of these.

Numbers 15:32-36

The Sabbath-Breaker Put to Death
32 While the Israelites were in the desert, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. 33 Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, 34 and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. 35 Then the LORD said to Moses, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp." 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Or should the word be allowed to be used by all, and not just by Blacks? Or should Blacks be able to say n*ggar, but no one else, and why would that be? Isn't one Black saying that repulsive to other Blacks ? Us whities have been told not to use it, and for a generation most of us haven't, then we are inudated with the word in music and movies. Something seems wrong here.

Anyone who is well versed in the Bible knows the Bible speaks out of both sides of its mouth. We can find verses to support both sides of any argument. There are verses sending people to hell and verses that say everyone is going to heaven (examples below). Given a choice, which doctrine would you prefer to believe?
Rom 5:15 - 21
1Jn 2:2
1Cor 15:22
Eph 1:10
1Jn 4:14
Col 1:20
2Cor 5:15
Jn 17:2
Jn 12:32

Why is it that Black people always put down Asians and Jews? They're always bitter against Whites, but when they can't make fun of Whites, they resort to calling Asians and Jews racist terms. Whites do it as well, but they do it in a much more discreet, intelligent way. All the Blacks I have known just blatantly make fun of Asians by insulting their eyes or call an Asian guy Bruce Lee or call a Jewish person a greedy bast@rd. What gives? Are so many Blacks simply jealous of other minorities' success?

If traveling, a safe quiet trip and a holiday that is all you need.
If alone, friendship.
On The Day, Strength and peace to last till the last guest has gone and that Aunty Joyce stays off the Port and lemon or at least refrains from telling that hideously embarassing story.
My own wish ? To retain the friends I have here and in my daily life.
Love to all, Rose P.
