I am libertarian when it comes to other religions. People can worship however they want to as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I'd be happy to swing a hammer on a habitat house with somebody from another faith.
I grew up southern baptist so I know how mean christians can be to gays. But, other religions might not be all that loving toward us either. Gays are executed in islamic countries. So I wouldn't want to be one of those. Bahais say that gays are a product of a screwed up world and that in the perfect world we wouldn't exist (at least that's how my ex-bahai partner explained it). I think some Buddhists think we are sinners, and some think we are just screwed up or out of balanced. I am just saying that in all relgions, there are people who love us and people who hate us. |

There was a time I was quite closed-minded regarding religion. I've changed a lot over the last year or so as I've learned more about accepting my sexuality, thus about accepting others. There is room for people of all faiths in my life and my heart. It's not up to us to try and tell people what they should believe--we have this thing called free will and free choice. We were made to (and have the right to) think for ourselves. We can choose to give up that right by joining some rigid church or some way-out-there cult but that intellectual independence is The Being's gift to us. I love people who believe and don't believe, people who believe like me or differently, and Scotty, I love Faeries, too!!
