This frustrated me
I'm pretty much an atheist, but i go to a christian school and nearly all of my friends are christians - unsuprisingly.
I don't know how this occured, but i was having a conversation with on of my christian friends about gay people. She was saying that she had nothing against gay people, just 'what they do'. By this she meant that she didn't approve of their relationships and sex etc., so i asked her what was wrong with it. Her response was that god says sexual relations of two people of the same gender is a sin. I can't get my head around what is actually wrong with it, why it is a sin, but i'm not going to go into that.
I started saying something about being born gay, and how people can't help it. However, she said that everyone is born straight, and no one is born gay because being gay is a sin and god wouldn't let people be born with sin. I really, really, really wanted to contine the conversation, but my friend just said 'leave it', which was extreemly frustrating.
I don't usually mind what people believe - there's no use getting worked up about a different view of life to your own - live and let live - but this really annoyed me, because it wasn't fair on so many people. It's like saying women shouldn't vote because men are the more superior gender, or something stupid like that. It's the 21st century!
Anyway, i'd like to know what you think about this little conversation i told you about, and also maybe your opinion on subject.
Thanks for reading
