One of my hobbies is bothering the God botherers or, more accurately defined, pestering the Evangelicals. I go to a number of forums where religion is a hot topic and announce that I am a "gay" Christian. I'm delighted to say that this normally becomes the entire topic of conversation for enormous periods of time. Great fun it is! Those who are supposed to be demonstrating Christ's love quickly show their true colors when I'm attacked with a vengeance. (I needn't tell you how they react when I tell them they must be inhabited by an evil spirit that has supplanted God's love.) But what is surprising is the number of Christians who rise to my defense. And these are "straight" Christians to boot! More and more it seems there are people who are not willing to rise to the homophobic rhetoric of the mainstream beliefs. It actually leaves me with the hope that there may one day come a new Christian ethic in the U.S., one that actually incorporates the love that is supposed to emanate from a Christian. I'm not holding my breath until that day arrives, however.
Oh yes, there are a fair amount of atheists who love these sites as well. I have been leaving these poor souls something to believe in themselves. I steer them towards a religion that anyone can handle - ie - Timmy's chocolatecakechurch.org. What the heck, everyone needs something to believe in. ;-D
