Smile Why does God love us??

Love is our bliss
and our great pain.
It is our crime before the world
and the singular "flaw" of our character.
All the world knows us by the nature of our love,
and if we fight, we fight so that we may love.
Those who hate us hate our love,
and those who love us love our love.
Love makes us who we are, and God love us because...

...God is love.

Cool Cuz I'm a rambler..

Happy to oblige, that very much validates my non-confidence as to it's value. Oh the tangled web of logs we... write.

I was more trying to describe the dual perspective of knowing what it means to be one gender by having to conform to it, yet also understanding the meaning of the ‘opposite’ gender because that’s who we identify with on the inside.

But you bring up a good point, I think bisexuals are under represented (and underrated!). Personally I think that’s the most ideal scenario as far as my understanding of soulmates goes (we’re each half a soul, one male one female, but in constant communication), and even human survival-love-wise. Double you’re experience and learning and double you love options while you’re at it. (And I promised myself I wouldn’t ramble this time...) The short answer, -awediot’s # “We alone will get the he/she thing.”

But you can interpret my ramblings any way you like and consider it the absolute truth. You know, like the Bible...

And pnggrad and others, I think what I meant by gays questioning the Bible, or at least a better way of putting it is that we provide a valuable ‘service,’ just by being, to help keep His true believers in check. Questioning the truth of the truth for the purpose of insuring against deception by complacence.

And this has probably been said already but maybe not as eloquently...

He can't help it! She Loves us because we ARE, period.

I can't remember if it was Socrates or Plato who originally came up with that idea, but I do remember that he also believe that some soul-mate unions for lack of a better term are all male or all female (he believed that the rest were were hermaphrodites). And that was how he explained the existence of same-sex soulmates. I always liked that story, Athough I've never heard how he would explain those of us who can fall in love someone of either gender
