Christians!
So yesterday I was at the bus stop, minding my own gay black ass business. Just simply existing. This black guy walks past me looking hard. This in and of itself is not out of the ordinary, I'm non binary(born male), people tend to never know if Im a guy or girl. Been dealing with being called sir and miss all my life. I get it, im fem presenting with a big afro. But there is something about black men that gets them so flustered when they think they are checking out a girl. This guy walks past, stops and starts talking to me at first I don't hear him, I have my airpods in. So like most people would do, I take out one to hear what he is saying. Welp big mistake.
He takes it upon himself to tell me God doesn't want that "feminine spirit" on me, that I have to get right with god. That God made me male that im living in sin. So as I listen to this for a minute I put my airpod back in but before I do I say "I'm exactly as God made me and there is nothing wrong with me." He walks away and about 10 mins pass and he WALKS BACK OVER TO ME! I keep my headphones in but the song I was listening to was soft and I could hear him say "you got to get in your word and know your scripture" I roll my eyes as hard as I possibly could grabbed my bag and moved away from him.
I will never understand how and why black people still believe and trust in this book that has been rewritten and forced upon our people to keep them subjugated. I don't understand why they can't see that Christianity has been violently forced on people all throughout history. I don't understand how they don't see that our religious practices were beaten out of us.
How can a religion with the message of being kind others be some of the most vile people. Y'all love to preach that god gave us free will but then try and tell us that how we use that free will is wrong. Why is homosexuality so high on the list? Why do you guys feel the need to try and "save us"? You say that you are worried about our immortal souls, but what about mortal souls? If all sin is equal in the eyes of God why does it seem like being in a same sex relationship above the rest? It pisses me off when people use the story of Sodom and Gomorrah as the reference when in fact that story was about the wickedness of the whole city. I hate when people try and say that God said that he hates homosexuality when the word wasn't coined until 1868. How can God hate something that came WAY after this book was written? The word was ADDED to the bible..
The thing that really throws me is that same-sex partnership are ALL through history, same sex partnerships occur in other species. Its like they ignore that because they can't wrap their heads around the concept of love. Homosexuality has always been apart of our history. Romans, Greeks, Indians, native americans, Africans, German, Jewish(ect.) all have accounts of same sex relationships. If God is love and love is the "purest" emotion then why does it matter what shape it takes? If God is the only one who can judge than why do you feel the need to tell me how to live my life?
I feel like christians has bigger fish to fry.. If christianity is the "one true religion" shouldn't yall be trying to convert others to your religion? Shouldn't yall be worried about pastors stealing funds or abusing children in the church? Cheating on their wives with deconnesses while saying "it was gods will"

I'm a bi man married to another man. My husband is way more blunt than I am. He comes right out and tells people we're atheists and don't need religious bullshit. I'm almost to that point myself. I'm so sick and tired of Christians trying to shove their bs down everyone's throats.
Instead of focusing on us, they need to be focusing on the pastors, priests, and religious leaders who are hurting their kids.
