i have made a promise to myself to remain a virgin until i am married, and i will not break that promise. no drop of alchohol or end of a cigarrette (or that of any other drug, for that matter) will ever touch my lips. i will always treat others as i would myself.just because someone does not follow the teachings of God, does not mean they lead of life of sin. most of us life the same way you do, minus going to church every week. yes, there are some individuals that decide to stray from what polite society calls "good". not all are atheist or agnostic.
aside from all that, the subject that bothers me the most is how homosexuality is veiwed. i don't believe that everyone chooses this. why would we choose to be something that most of society
regects? why would we choose a more difficult path for ourselves? yes, life can be hard sometimes, but why would we intentionally make it so?
believe me, i could talk about this for a while. if you'd like a debate, feel free to comment.

Agreed. Totally. I believe everyone leads a life of sin, regardless of whether they claim to be a christian or not. Humans were born with a sin nature since the fall of Adam, and are not inherently good.
"why would we choose to be something that most of society regects?"
Call me crazy, but I think most homosexuals just want to stand out from the crowd and break from the norm. It comes from the same area of the brain that craves attention and desires to rebel against what has been known to be 'proper' or 'right.' They want something to stand up for and believe in besides a faith or religion. It's the same thing with alot of hardcore feminists I know. Even with people who threaten to cut their wrists or commit suicide.
I try not to judge lesbians and gays, and I honestly can deal and have dealed just fine. I just extremely dislike having it shoved in my face all the time. Gay promotion is everywhere. School, news, media, newspapers. Homosexuals want their voice to be heard, but some of us just dont want to hear it. And that's the harsh truth.
I love your blog. So much opinion. It demands debate. ;]
One part of me thinks that humans are inherently good, and the other doesn't. I mean, as children we are influenced by everything around us. Then again, we will never know how we would be without influence, because we cannot escape it.
Some people may do that, but that's not how it was with me. Keep in mind, I'm only bisexual, not lesbian. But...I was dealing with the possibly for a little over 4 years before I finally came to terms with it.
Yes, it does seem to be in a variety of places, and I think it will be until it's excepted. We managed to get most of society past slavery and racial discrimination. I see this as another step on the ladder.
Feel free =]
"..as children we are influenced by everything around us."
That is inexplicably true. But did a baby learn how to cry? Even the tiniest of beings have the tendencies to cry, because they haven't learned how to be content yet. 'Why am I not being fed / getting attention / why is the light so bright? Let me cry so they can fix it.' And that is the root of complaining, one of the simplist and most unavoidable isns.
"Keep in mind, I'm only bisexual, not lesbian."
That's another thing that I won't ever quite understand is the road of bisexuality. You have a girlfriend right? Since your'e 'bisexual' does that mean that you also have a boyfriend? Or that you're open to the possibility of having a boyfriend if the relationship with your girlfriend doesn't work out? I know a girl who was bisexual before she met her boyfriend. She had a boyfriend and a 'wife' which he knew nothing about. If I was in his position, I would never be able to accept a kind of relationship where my feelings and emotions were compromised with another person. Maybe you can elaborate on that a little bit for me.
".. I think it will be until it's accepted. We managed to get most of society past slavery and racial discrimination. I see this as another step on the ladder."
I think alot of homosexuals fail to realize that a large percentage of the world's population thinks that it is morally wrong to be romantically involved with a person of the same gender. Is it even a battle worth fighting? Is there a religion that accepts homosexuals? What religion do they follow?
Yes. It's arguements like that that make me lean towards that. then again, Devon provided a good arguement in the other direction.
Really, I'm not a fan of labelling sexuality. But telling someone I'm bisexual is easier than giving an entire speech about labels. I believe that you love who you love, despite their gender. Right now, I have a girlfriend that I am 100% commited to. If I were to get a boyfriend along side that, it'd be cheating. Just the same. Yes, I guess if/when we are to separate I'd be open to haivng a boyfriend. It's all dependant on who catches my attention.
Oh, believe me, most of them know that all to well. That's shoved in our faces just as much. But...a battle for exceptance is always a battle worth fighting and I, for one, am not going to back down easily.
how do all these people know we're dating?
O.o
well, it's on my myspace. a lot xD
