Ok, I need to address something I just came across a few minute ago. And, I apologize in advance if I step on any toes. Actually, I'm not because this is what I think and believe and I hope that people can understand that and still be friends with someone who disagrees with them.

Ok, so here we go.

I was just recently boringly scrolling through my facebook wall when I came across a very interesting status.  To sum it up, the person basically said that they had spent way too much time writing a religion paper on how the Bible affects your life.  They then went on to say that they couldn't and quote, "pass up an opportunity to negate all of the misinterpretation of scripture to condemn homosexuality. Suck on that religious based homophobia and bigotry."

Ok, so I read the status again making sure that I had read it right.  Did I really just read that? Um, yes, I did. I'm sitting here trying to figure out how I missed that part in the Bible because that's a pretty important subject to misinterpret.  I'm pretty sure I remember reading about God destroying, not praising, but destroying Sodom and Gomorrah because they had given into their fleshly desires and were practicing homosexuality.  That pretty much says point blank that God is against homosexuality. I just cant get over the thought that people have that God is okay with homosexuality and isn't against it.

Now, please bare with me before you start calling me a homophobe and throwing rocks, I have nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING against gay people.  I have many friends who are gay.  We are friends, they know where I stand, end of story.  Do I hate them? No. Do I tell them their going to Hell daily? Nope.  I'm not here to condemn or hate people. I try my best to love everyone equally.  To give everyone a fair chance.  I just personally don't think homosexuality is Biblical and we are all allowed to believe and think what we want.  I'm tired of people jumping down one another's throats because the other person has differing views (Biblical and/or non-Biblical views) . So what?! The world would be boring if we all "fit" a mold.  You can be friends with someone and still have different views on certain issues.

But please, let it be known, that homosexuality is not Biblical.

I absolutely love this song, "Never Alone" by Barlowgirl.

Never Alone

I waited for You today
But You didn't show
No no no
I needed You today
So where did You go?
You told me to call
Said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?

[Chorus:]
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I"m never alone

And though I cannot see You
And I can't explain why
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life

We cannot separate
You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

[Chorus]

We cannot separate
You're part of me
And though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen

[Chorus]
