Day of Silence/God and Gays

Thanks everyone who participated in GLSEN's Day of 

Silence today. It's been great! And to those who don't 

support 

gays because of your faith: Jesus accepted everyone. He 

had meals with those others wouldn't go near. And for those 

who claim the Bible is anti-gay:

Adam and Eve: A story made up to explain why the world 

wasn't all good. And actually, the original writing says God 

made 'creatures of the dust'. It never once says 'male' or 

'female'.


Leviticus: I personally pretty much disregard this book. As 

does Jesus. He talks with and heals lepers, which Leviticus 

condemns. And if you follow everything Leviticus says, then 

tell me, do you stay away from every female on her period 

and not touch anything she's touched? Because Leviticus 

says to.

Sodom and Gomorrah: This passage refers to rape. It 

happens to be with men. It's something that happened in 

history. Men had the power. They doled out punishments. 

So 

they'd be the ones to rape people as public humiliation.

And, as with anything we translate, think about it. There are 

often multiple possible translations for the same passage. 

So 

something could've been translated incorrectly, or 

misinterpreted. Any of us can interpret the stories. But think. 

The main thing Catholics are taught is to live like Jesus. 

Jesus didn't exclude anyone. Jesus helped those who 

needed him. The only people he admonished were those 

who thought they knew everything, were narrow minded, 

and 

condemned others. Only God can truly condemn us, and 

God loves all of us.
