I actually remember last year one of my friends said when they went out Trick-Or-Treating they would egg any house they saw that had Christmas lights on it, and I responded back: "Do that and I'll egg your house, dick!"
Yes, let's be negative to each other instead of having good holiday vibes early on.
I personally am already super excited for Christmas. And Halloween!




WHat about me and Sera?

Sarah and I have been RPing for two years, the longest we've had an RP partner ever. I haven't known you guys that long, and no offense, but you two aren't exactly the best at helping me with stuff. Plus everyone has been so busy lately.
Come talk to me after we've been RPing for two years....if we even make it that far.

I know i've been busy...but that's not something i can control. My dad forced me to start working and that's my responsibility :\
I had meant we're your friends outside of the RP. I'd say I'm even more of a friend outside of RP than inside *Shrugs*





See, stuff like this is why I keep my own sexuality under wraps and why I get kinda nervous when people say: "Well I'm a Christian." I'm always worried they're going to be like that. And this woman makes me mad.
She doesn't have to agree or approve of my lifestyle or my choices, but she should at least RESPECT them. Because if she's not going to respect me, then why the hell should I respect her?

Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus bash homosexuality. And last I checked, being a Christian is about following JESUS and being like JESUS.
1 John 2:6 reads "Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked."
Jesus was all about love. He forgave the people beating him to death and mocking him. He forgave the criminal who asked him to. When he lived he hung out with the depraved. He was with sinners and tax collectors and less desirables. He loved them just as much as people who devoted their lives to him.
Yes, both Testaments bring up homosexuality. One instance is in the OLD Testament and the rules there ((save the 10 commandments)) aren't followed by Christians. If "Christians" bring up Leviticus, ask if they eat pork or shellfish or have clothing with more that one fabric or shave their facial hair or get body piercings and lots of stuff. If Christians do any of those, point out that they're breaking the rules according to Leviticus.
In the New Testament, it's Paul I think that condemns homosexuality. But news flash: Paul isn't Jesus, nor is he God. He was a mortal just like us and we are to follow God's law above a mortal's words. And God's law is a law of love.
John 13:34-35 reads "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
So Jesus says to love others as he loved us and people will know they are Christians by their love. It sounds to me like he's saying people who do not show love towards others are not his real followers.
There is also this picture I've seen.

If you want, perhaps bring up this topic in the CFD group we're in. I'm sure they can explain far better than me >.<

If the book is more accepting, what does that say about you?

Props to that book for having a Christian character who resembles what Christ himself stressed: love.



WHat do you mean they're "supposed to be taken in a positive way despite writing Christian fiction" ?


BAsically, was it the concept or the way the characters performed it?


I had actually meant is the concept of LGBT portrayed as evil, or were the characters involved supposed to be the bad guys and so the relationship might have been toxic?

Then those people need a reality check because SPOILER: Jesus didn't say anything about homosexuals. He DID say to love everyone.


I have a strong memory a few years ago in the summer when I woke up really early feeling absolutely miserable and dragged myself downstairs to watch TV and felt really bad, but I thought my stomach just hurt. I then threw up on the floor a few hours later and Mom thought I did it on purpose, even though I had no idea I was sick, and by the time I did it was too late.
