Most Gays Are Spiritual

Jet: You line "But belief in god(s) and the supernatural are the crutch of weak minded sheep" is a rehash of Lenin's "religion is the opiate of the people" line. And you see where that went with Lenin, and Lenin and gays! You couldn't be more wrong. You're problem is that you simply can't deal with having a vice, so don't want it called a vice. That's one things hets generally have over gays, they can suffer through the guilty vice's pleasure or even enjoy the vice without guilt, but just don't have this odd need to call a bad a good to get by mentally. The weak minded problem is all yours. You have to be a very weak mind to be so consumed by making wrong right that you'll deny God to be able to do it! And, if you deny God, you as Gay put yourself at the mercy of the Majority morality, ala Lenin, etc., which is so much more likely to be harshly and extreme prejudicely anti gay as proven time and again in history! That's just really weak minded!

Thank you, Jet, for the most worthwhile post of the lot.

Religion is the opiate of the masses as Marx pointed out. I cannot for the life of me understand why otherwise perfectly rational people buy into 3000 year old fairy tales and defend them to the point of violence in some cases. Talking bushes? sleeping in the mouth of a whale? walking on water? The Grimm Brothers could not have come up with anything more creative!!

"Gay Christian" is like "Immigrant Nationalist". Makes no sense. Oxymoron. I am proudly gay and proudly atheist/Objectivist. The god delusion has destroyed many lives, most especially the lives of LGBT people. It is time for this delusion to be lifted from the back of humanity. It is time to recognize along with Zarathustra that god is dead. Anything short of that recognition allows for bigotry to continue. Religion has caused bigotry against gays, women, racial minorities, etc. all throughout history. It is time to get rid of childish delusions once and for all, and with that, we will also get rid of bigotry. End religion, you end bigotry, it is that simple. As religion continues, hate continues. As religion ends, hate ends.

I don't care if you're gay or straight, religion is bogus nonsense. Every ancient religion on Earth been supplanted by another, and the same thing happen will happen to all current religions, assuming humans survive on the planet long enough. None is more worthy than the others. You need a philosophy to get by in life, to treat others ethically? Fine. But belief in god(s) and the supernatural are the crutch of weak minded sheep who haven't bothered to look critically at the world around them. If you're gay and actively participate in a religion that would demonize you or make you straight--or eliminate you--then you're a fool and a glutton for punishment.

That's right, do another article stereotyping gays. 62% spiritual? But how many different gods and Adonis'. Give it a rest already. We are like the "Normal Population". Some of us believe in a god and some don't. I do find it interesting that many gays would subscribe to a religion that hates them. Much like a black Republican.

Dan: Dan Nooney, not Dan, you are correct. My fault and not that as correction in all my posts to date.

John S: Agreed. I have no doubt there's many a buddist, muslim, jew and even gay that accepts J and is sorry for their sins that J accepts in, maybe with a little purgatory atonement action even, and that many a so called Christian is given the "I don't know you" boot. J himself said tax collectors and prostitutes are gaining heaven before pharisees. No one knows the heart, and certainly the heart at the time of death and judgement when all is made known to you per Truth, and though a short time in our eyes time which might just be warped into a long, long time if needed. Time after all, was only made for man's needs on Earth. Who knows except as J said to follow Him. But please, while working on our vices, let's don't twist things so we are following you or me, or worse yet Dan!! HA!! Sorry Dan, couldn't resist! Had to throw that in!

PJR you are correct "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." But remember Jesus decides not you nor I. so if Jesus says to a buddhist your in then he or she is in.

PJR, what are you talking about? I'm from Austin, Texas, and Dan Nooney is from Vancouver, BC. We're two different people.
