QUOTE (March_On_Electric_Children @ Apr 24 2006, 08:38 PM) I have noticed that throught this forum all of the people that were opinianated and expressed their thoughts very well and in a proffesional fashion were of a Christian backround. I respect what you stand for and what you believe in and I mean no disrespect when I say that I would like to hear the opinion of somebody who is not from this backround such as I.
I just think that it would be interesting to see the opinion of somebody who does not have the influnce of something with allot of power such as the bible persuading them. Again I mean no disrespect because you believe what you believe and I think that it is great that you stay firm to your beliefs and voice your opinion on things that effect you and what you believe in.
so you want an opinion of someone best to be a free-thinker?
that is interesting, cause I'm a free-thinker, but also believe in god. But no ordinary god you see. Will explain later.
For me, which I put in simple terms because all this professional talk is bothering me. (Don't mean that is a bad way)
What I'm about to say reflects on the god I believe. My god is neutral, and does not go by any name.
In my view...well, I can accept Gays, Lebians or Bis. I have put myself in their shoes several times and the results are quite....amusing. Don't ask me how I did that, because I did despite the fact that I'm straight.
I may not be as descriptive as Gays or Bis, however, I do know the sexual urge they posses but enough of that.
Honestly...I don't give a damn what religion's talking is. (don't mind this because this is how I feel)
I'm a free thinker because I want to be fair with all kinds of people no matter who they are or what they are known as. Everyone was given life to this world for a purpose. (a rarity of people in religions that are fair to all is a fact though)
People keep complaining about gays. Slightly unfair. You go out, find two girls holding hands, you consider them friends. You see two guys holding hands, you consider them gay. Bias? Yes indeed.
I mainly wish to point this to people who think Gays, Lesbians and Bis shouldn't exist.
Seriously, telling them not to exist contradicts a lot of things in my view.
You are degrading your own human race.
Telling them not to exist is as good as telliing Jesus not to exist.
Why does god play a role?
God create humans as people claim, ok, I'll play along with that belief. If god create humans, then shouldn't Gays and Lesbians deserve a place in this world? God love humans am I right. Yes, so should he love this breed of humans as well? Of course.
In Miss universe, what is the number one thing all our beautiful women of the world ask? "World Peace."
Who here wants world peace? All of us right? Of course. We want it, our religion speaks of it and our own dream to have world peace.
So if that is what we all want, than why are people's opinion, and religion degrading this special breed of individuals? They are humans like us. They have hands, arms, legs, mouth, two ears, nose, two eyes, hair on the head, heart, lungs, red blood, a powerful brain, bones, muscles, stomach etc.
They have all we have. Equal quality. So why degrade them?
Have you put yourself in their shoes to see what it is like to be degraded by unreasonable opinions, thoughts and religions? I have...and it hurts very badly. The feeling is like a stranger bashing his way into a church and telling me that my god Jesus is a $#&%*#, christians are stupid and shoudn't exist. Buddha is not god because he's fat etc. That is the feeling I get. Believing so much in god only to have someone tarnish you from top to toe and that feeling in no different.
People give their opinions in a professional way, but it isn't going to realize anything. YOU have to put yourself in these people's shoes before you truly give an true opinion that can really bare a meaning to what you say.
I speak what it's like. When you want to hold a professional way of discussion, I thought it'll be good, formal. Yet what I see here is opinions there bare no meaning to the feelings this special individual feels. Professional in a formal way, but not a meaningful way. However, some people here managed to crack that off.
I talked about a god that bare no name. That god is ONE god, that seperates himself throughout the world, to create countless religion, different type of gods for different cultures and belief. Jesus, Buddha, etc are all a fragment of one god, that seperates himself in order to test the human race. To see just how well they can unite in harmony despite the different culture, color, ssmell, looks, VALUES and BELIEFS.
If Humans can work together with every culture in peace and harmony despite smell, looks, colors, black, whites, race, east and west, gays and les, than the one goal of god has been fulfilled and that because everyone in this world could work together to accept one another despite several difference only means that humans have successfully joined their acceptance to create the ONE GOD that did all this to put humans to the tests.
God did all this to test us all. That's why I'm a so-called free thinker. I am fair to all culture, race, etc. To degrade one is degrading all. If all could put themselves together, it's like joining the fragments of different lives throughout the world to piece together the One god that create us all.
Acceptance is what Gays and Bis and Les really want.
They only want acceptance without the need to be judged. Is that so difficult? If culture and religion forbid this, sorry to say, that is not culture and religion. Someone who could not accept this special breed obviously found a way to use god's name to blind people into seeing that Gays and Les are improper in this world.
To those with opinions, than sorry to say, your opinion is just an opinion without the knowing of feelings this people go through day after day by baseless conjestures.
