16. Listen to the whole thing before flaming me!
I believe that it is against the rules of mother nature to have gay relationships something is not right in that type of relationship since it will not allow the line to reproduce. Now don't get me wrong I feel it is improper but that does not mean I condone people that attack others for there sexual orientation people should have the right to do as they please and enjoy life to the fullest as long as they are not physically or mentally hurting others! The thing that breeds the most hatred for those who are gay is that old fairy tale named GOD Religion is the root of most evil and most wars including this here war on terror.
Is God just a man made adult fairy tale? Since children we are force fed fairy tales and magic and father Christmas, only to later realize these things aren't true, It teaches us a lot as children like being nice to people, the good will always overcome the bad etc, and if you remember all those fairy tales there's always a message, but even though the message is real the fairy tale isn't! What if God was just a fairytale created by man to give the adults of the world the same messages, man couldn't keep us believing in fairy tales because as we grow up we see there are no facts supporting fairy tales, but with God it seems like there isn't any evidence suggesting he's real or not, so most can't stop believing in this "God Fairytale".

Of course it's a fairy tale. One to make you fearful of consequences if you don't act as others want you to. There is NO god period. There never was, and there never will be. If you take some time to do some critical thinking you will reach the same conclusion.

Folks are told from the time they are kids into adulthood that there is this mysterious magical being that sees everything, knows everything, does absolutely NO wrong, and controls the universe and more. That's very powerful stuff. When one hears that over the course of a lifetime without asking serious questions just as you have they are inclined to believe it as fact. In fact it's the only thing they'll believe without actual proof. Seems silly really.

If you approach the subject objectively, that is throw away the years of people telling you god is watching, god will punish, god this and god that etc. If you set all that aside and ask yourself, where is the proof? Many will say the bible. The bible is a fairytale myth written then copied from several early civilizations. Do some checking into the Egyptian gods and so on and you will find the story is just a legend passed on through the ages.

There will always be freaks who strongly (to the point of fanaticism) believe god is real and all the rest of it. But if you want to live your life without all the guilt and shame and B.S. that goes with all that god stuff, just ask the critical questions and don't settle for someone's ideas as proof.

Religion has been the root cause of almost all wars; it has been the root of much suffering and pain. If people could just agree that we are all just sharing a little precious time on this planet together. Things could be a lot better and in that vein I do believe in Karma such as whatever goes around comes around I have seen it many times in my years!
