(I do believe that) The person in RD's God, rid me...is a LGBT believer, right. It always perplexed (I dunno if that is the correct word to use.any who...) when the LGBT'ers believe in "him." I wouldn't wanna belong to a club that didn't want me.

Secondly, that Landau picture is the best...and true.

Awesome Stevo,

Hey Kriss,

Yeah, the RD post really just saddened me and it is perplexing. All I can think is that, regardless of sexual orientation, or whatever, many raised in the church just think of belief as normal. It just "is." Just because one is called a "sinner" or "deviant" doesn't automatically make one a non-believer. The thought process, positive or negative, is still always influenced by theism.

Religious conditioning is fucked up.
