I hope you do and, even if we never agree on this matter, please know that I am just concerned with the salvation of your soul, nothing else.
No ulterior motive and certainly no hatred - for anyone - including gays, murderers or even my old acquaintance Anjem Choudary! - God does not Permit hatred and I thank Him for that. Goodnight matey, I hope you and your family are doing ok during these difficult times.

Certain sects of Judaism believe in reincarnation.

Thanks. You too.

It's commonplace and considering that atoms reuse and reform over time, it might hold some weight.

Definitely.. Those old men were not stupid.

All the mysteries buried in time are fascinating. I always think about what was lost in the library of Alexandria each time there was a fire. From Julius Caesar (accidentally) to Muhammad's successor of the Caliphate (intentionally).

Exactly. That's my area. Qualified in historical research. I work in a low paid job like every other schmuck though.

At least there is the enjoyment of historical research though. You can take solace in that.

Hey Brad, for people our age a lot of the problem is the bad churches that are around. There is a lot that is wrong with the church right now, but... as a gay man you are free to read the Bible on your own and I guarantee you will find something in it for you and you alone. I have been a profligate, a drinker and a violent man at times and I was very afraid of dying a violent death.. I read the Bible one night and suddenly there was peace around me. It's about emotions ..

The bible has it all in terms of human drama... That's how I approach it. I don't approve of priests much at all. But the word does not belong to them, it belongs to ordinary people. If they abuse it you can't blame the text.. Also religious movies are a good way in to a deeper understanding.. It's very deep stuff and can be very scary at times.

If gay people are afraid of violence then they are free to look to God for protection from it. It is a very violent, scary world for everyone right now. That's what was frightening the hell out of me.. but I am OK now .

I'm glad you have achieved peace.

Yes, the world may not be but I am at peace. That's the thing about it (the Bible and Christ, not necessarily church)... When it says things like "don't be part of the world "..that's what it means. There is another you can be part of... "thy burden is light and and thy yoke is easy "..and once I found out how easy it really was, instead of struggling around trying to make sense of the hear and now.. It was a no brainer, really

It's beautiful we're getting out children to draw these rainbows but again it's just more conditioning for them to accept LGBT. These kids know fuck all about the Bible but are increasingly being overwhelmed with LGBT and it's rainbows.... Nothing more than conditioning out kids no matter which way you look at it from!

And I still have a terrible problem with the damn cigarettes, mate. Awful compulsive addiction ..but with Christ you are not expected to give up every bad habit and vice immediately. As I said, I am a work progress. With straight men and sex there is an awful issue that many of us cannot relate or even speak with women properly. I see the dismay among women about this every day. When I was young and trying to stick it in all the time it was a road to unhappiness. Now I know how to relate to women as human beings my life with the opposite sex is really good.

Straight men are terrible about sex.. Really bad.. Fuelled by drugs and alcohol and porn we become like animals.. scares the hell out of the young women. Ruins relationships and marriages. Social chaos ensues.

We all have sexual feelings for whatever... Even I have had gay thoughts from time to time 😂😂😂😂😂🐩🐩🐩💄💄💄gay thoughts are basically normal to me. But the question is always the how. So

Then they went down to Sodom and Gomorrah... Where they partied like there was no tomorrow... God turned around and said "not my fault "...then he turned Lot's wife to a pillar of salt! Can you hear me y'all?! Baaaaammm!

God does not hate gay people, u are completely right.

If you do decide to pick it up and read it.. Go straight to Psalm 91.

Hey, brad... Hope you are doing well over there . A good read to start with on the Jungian perspective on religion is called The Golden Bough: a study of comparative religion by the Scotsman Sir James George Frazer. I don't approve of the dry Anglican church version of religion at all ...and I don't approve of church homophobia, but I also don't like identity politics amongst gays. My gay best friend and I actually grew up in church together . His name is Bradley too. Now that is what Carl Jung would call a synchronicity. That's a coincidence that is not really a coincidence. That means there are no accidents in life. Everything is part of a big plan.
