Christians and Homosexuality = ?

These are my thoughts and feelings...Remember this is Jillsville...
 Okay so HOLD on tight here it goes...I am MAD and FRUSTRATED by these so called CHRISTIANS! 


The definition of Christian as stated in the Google dictionary is as follows: Professing belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus. 

I am certainly NO expert on the Christian attitude because I am questioning the whole idea of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, it is so hard for me to imagine that a Father would send his only son to die for people and their own sins. Now having said that please understand I do believe in a Higher Power whom I choose to call GOD {Good Orderly Direction}. 

As a child going to a Christian church I grew up hearing stories of what a great man Jesus Christ was and how he NEVER judged anyone and NEVER discriminated against any one person or group of people. My thoughts are that he would be hanging his head in disgust and disbelief with how some people are treating others that are not living as the majority of folks. Love is Love and People are People. My beliefs now are leaning toward Jesus being a saint that walked the earth a long time ago..doing good and helping deeds for others and definitely NOT being judgmental and hateful against those that are different from the mainstream.

This book called the Bible was written a long time ago by a group of men and I don't care what anyone says...NO ONE follows the Bible completely. Also some so called Christians use the wording in the Bible to promote their own HATE on a minority group called Homosexuals. Granted everyone has their right to believe what they want to believe about Homosexuals...but to "cherry pick" and use quotes in the Bible for their HATE or DISLIKE of this group of individuals is just WRONG. Also to discriminate against a minority of human beings is JUST wrong and so UN CHRIST like. In my humble opinion.

Harvey Milk, one of my personal heroes of the civil rights movement, once said "The fact is that more people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, my friend is the true perversion." He said this probably back in the 1970's shortly before he was assassinated by a co-worker simply because he was a homosexual.

 Now the American Republicans and the Tea Party politicians are doing what they ALWAYS do before an election..they promote HATE in the name of Christianity. This gets their BASE all heated up and this causes nothing but trouble for a minority of people known as Homosexuals.  I get so tired and frustrated with this line of action by this group of politicians. There are SO many other issues that are so much more relevant to our society and to our country.

All the postings that I have put up concerning Attacks on Homosexuals. I have FB friends posting comment such as: well the people that did this should get punished but that should be the case no matter who gets attacked. They of course are missing the whole point. Homosexuals are the ones that get attacked frequently because of the way we live and the fear that others feel toward us for some crazy reason or another. Also some FB comments are why should we have HATE CRIME legislation for "those people?"  Or why should we have a law against BULLYING? Well the fact is that Homosexuals do get the worst of the legal deal. We NEED these HATE CRIME bills and the laws against BULLYING. The whole point behind me posting these examples are that Homosexuals DO get beat up and murdered simply because they are different. This NEEDS to change and the change begins with PEOPLE. 


 I have also put up postings about Same-Sex marriage. Some of my FB friends have said things like oh Jill...You and Kathy love each other that is all the matters..Well NO that is NOT all that matters and these well meaning friends just infuriate me even more with these, what I feel are, flip comments. We have the Republican and Tea Party politicians Santorum, Bachmann, Pawlenty and Romney that have all signed this so called Marriage Pledge. This is one of the most horrible forms of disgrace and discrimination that I have ever heard of. If you are against Same-Sex marriage that is your prerogative but to actually sign something as horrible and despicable as this and call it a good thing for America is just WRONG. In my opinion.

We should be trying to bring America together NOT keep tearing it apart and that is what these so called "Christians and Christian politcians" are doing they are tearing America apart with their homophobia and hurtful feelings toward a minority group of people called Homosexuals. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Come on Americans stand up and stand proud and stand for EQUALITY FOR ALL.
