Adorkable Gaybies

A Tree and Phone poles outside work... there are multiple versions but this is my favorite.

2/10.

Sorry for the following lengthy thoughts, but I was showering and ended up thinking about the Bishop who asked Trump to have mercy, and that one guy who apparently Tweeted "Do not commit the sin of empathy" in response to her asking for MERCY. And then I thought to myself "Whatever happened to Do unto others as you would do unto me? Wasn't that something Jesus said?"

I was pretty sure that isn't right so like anyone with a brain might, I went looking to see if I was remembering it right or not. Now, I am not a religious adult, though I went to Church and Sunday school the same as any other Southern Child, but unlike most children I was raised equally with Baptist, Catholic, and Protestant church services before I was 10 years old. All because Dad was looking for a place he could belong.

I, of course, absolutely hated going to church every week because I already knew everything that my 7 year old self needed to about being a good person. Something which was consistently preached at me no matter the church, that made absolutely perfect sense in my tiny autistic mind.

Matthew 7:12 “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

AKA: Do unto others as you would do unto yourself. Treat others as you want to be treated. Always.

"Okay, I can do that. Being a good person is super easy." I internalized that one thing religion taught me and try to live my life by it to this day because it is just plain old good advice for life.

So why is it that today's "Christian's" can't do the same?

I'll tell you my theory in their own terms. The Devil has at some earlier point in history infiltrated and corrupted parts of the church and led them all astray from God's true word and into sin disguised as faith. Think about it.

In more realist terms it's probably because greedy men took a good thing and perverted it for their own gain, how else does a religion that teaches tolerance and humility at its very core end up screeching hate from the top of their lungs in such masses. That's not very Jesus of them.

I don't hate religion, or those who want to believe in God, but I do intensely dislike those who have the gall to preach hate and use their religion as the reason to do so.

Bitches.
