This video made me cry. No words can explain what i feel right now.

**********NOTE***********
When watching this video, please think about the big picture. Look at the images too, what do you see?

It is not my intention to start a debate about Religion. Everybody WILL have their own beliefs about religion in general. From the start, lets agree to disagree.

You don't love someone because they are beautiful, they are beautiful because you love them.

I tried very hard to watch, but the sound stuttered and it was unwatchable. The parts that I managed to watch showed a great divide between the concept of a deity and the interpretation of that by men into a religion with rules that simply do not work today.

I do not need to be told, even to show how bad the message is, that I am a sinner because I do not believe in sin. I believe in behaving well instead. I do understand that the message of sin was being delivered to counter that message.

I can tell you that I think christianity sucks. If there is a god then that being must have despaired long ago over the asswipes that chose to control people "in his name"

I do not believe in sin.

I couldn't watch the video, either - it wouldn't play sensibly for me.

I do believe in sin. Sin is - at root - a failure to respect and honour other people.

That covers dishonesty, theft, lying, abuse of hospitality, forcing one's own personal views on others, exploitative sex, rape, queerbashing and a whole host of other things.

Being gay is no more a sin than being straight: it is how you treat someone, not what the genders or anatomical arrangements are, that counts. Telling someone that being gay is a sin is, however, probably a sin in itself.
