Also I hate the whole hellfire and damnation thing. Firstly, I hate the thought that I am apparently going to suffer eternal torment just for being who I am, but secondly because the biblical 'God' is supposed to be merciful. Punishment is one thing, but eternal torture with no hope of ever redeeming oneself doesn't seem very fucking merciful to me.
I thought of this while I was researching the Holocaust. I just thought, hey, if Auschwitz was supposed to be hell on earth, then what kind of sick god are we worshipping here?
And yes, that part of the bible was completely accurate, although what the people of Sodom meant by 'knowing' the agnels, I have no idea. Besides, who said it was homosexuality god hated? Maybe it was just rape. And yes, it made me sick, 'cause I guess those poor girls didn't want to be gang-raped.
