And I swallowed what they taught. It was rigid time of blind faith and doctrine. From an early age I knew I was different somehow, but I couldn't put it into words. I followed what was expected of me, and performed for the admiring crowd. That is until I couldn't do it anymore and had to follow my heart. I did so with trepidation caused from years of indoctrination, yet as I stepped forward into life I never abandoned my faith. I couldn't and can't. What I don't understand is why my faith has abandoned me? Rather, why has the teachers of doctrine made me an example when I live an examplory life?
I sincerely believe that G-d put me here not to test me, but rather to test others on how well they treat their fellow man.
Any mature thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Oh, and the cause of the conundrum is that I'm gay and in a 20+ year relationship that will last until death.
