Reading some recent posts, and learning of new statements from the vatican has sparked some thought in this tiny speck of sentience.
allright first religion:
Its a personal choice on whether youre atheist, agnostic, mono- or polytheistic. I dont care. Personally I dislike organized religion because I think it breeds hypocracy, and hatred, and elitist mindsets. My main beef with most religions: they send something like 5 billion people to hell. and thats if we all died tomorrow. (which we may, who knows with the way the vatican is stockpiling )
Personally I would like to think theres a god, but IM really not sure at this point if a) there is and b) what my related beliefs are.
I think you should do waht feels right for you.
Homosexuality:
Allright for the last time, Homosexuality is not a sin, this is just society picking on the minority. Seriously, it isnt a choice for many homosexuals; there is a gene which determines if you are or arent , not to say environmental issues cant push you one way or another. but there are examples of homosexuality all over the animal kingdom. are frogs seriously gonna go to hell for sodomizing one another? But I think no matter whether its a choice or a predisposition, theres nothing wrong with it. Its not my cup of tea, but just because it isnt doesnt make it wrong. Do you hate people for eating meat or conversely being vegan? no its all individual not up to others to decide whats right and wrong.
these two and the rest of my world view culminate in :
Ethics
Basically the gist of ethics is "No harm no foul" If youre not hurting anybody else its not "bad" . Homosexuals in consenting relationships are hurting nobody just as consenting heterosexuals dont hurt anybody. to say that someone is wrong for being different is inherently unethical because you harm them via means of slander. Seriously If it doesnt harm anybody its not wrong. For some people it is unethical to use drugs or engage in other activities, btu only in instances where their actions cause harm in others, but if they are functionial compassionate responsable human beings I dont care if they fancy space aliens its not wrong, its just different.
so this is the test for ethics Ill do it in a flow chart:
does it hurt anybody?
