Really People? REALLY?

I'm not, by any definition, the type of person to be the patron saint of activism, and I'd much rather be a follower than a leader. I've been keeping up with both sides of the big "Homosexuality is a Mortal Sin and Anyone Who is Gay is Definitely Going to Hell" debate. 


In my honest opinion, the only person in the entire universe who has the authority to decide whether it is or is not a sin to be gay is the Big Man upstairs. Only He can decide. Him. Not you. Not Chik-Fil-A. Not that homeless man in the dark alley that creeps you out. 


That being said, Christians can beat homosexuals in the face with every verse in the Bible, but what I feel they are accomplishing is absolutely nothing. If you are so Christian, why are you beating them up? Disgracing them? Talking down to them? Since when did the Bible say: "And God said you must beat people in the face with my Word." 


Or "And God said you must look down on everyone you think isn't an ideal Christian." Does that sound ludicrous to you? Does it sound silly?


Because it is. 


Whether it is a sin or not is not the point. 


It doesn't matter if that man enjoys the company of another man, or some guy you met at the supermarket was just released out of jail for murder. God said love everyone. Everyone. EVERYONE. Don't be picky.
